The giant-sized can of "Comet-Cola" which the crew are attempting to trade is a clear reference to Coca-Cola, even down to the same can design and logo font. Murphy (Sean Caffrey) makes this explicit when he describes it as "phoney" and that "Coke's the real thing".
The programme's title, usually uttered by one of the cast, is absent in this episode. However, three alternatives are delivered: "suffering satellites!", "multiple meteors!" and "astronomical asteroids!"
