- TriviaDuring the Zephyr's launch, Mack and May mention MECO and the Karman line. MECO stands for Main Engine Cut-Off, when a ship has inertia enough to take it out of Earth's gravity. The Karman line is the accepted altitude at which Earth's atmosphere meets outer space.
- GoofsIf May where to fire a weapon straight up in the air in an underground bunker like this the ricochet would be very loud and possibly deadly.
- Quotes
Phil Coulson: Pretty sure we just left Earth's atmosphere.
Glenn Talbot: Doesn't matter what galaxy they try and run and hide. We're gonna show them who's in charge.
Phil Coulson: I feel like we're seeing this adventure a little differently. Gravitonium, why?
Glenn Talbot: 'Cause I'm their last hope.
Phil Coulson: What about the voices?
Glenn Talbot: Bunch of dead losers raising a ruckus. Turns out, all they needed was a general to get them in line.
Phil Coulson: Wish I found that more reassuring. I'm worried a little about you, Glenn. It takes most people years to get a handle of their powers. You skipped the tutorial, went straight to big-boss level.
Glenn Talbot: You got to quit worrying, Phil. I'm feeling fine- tip-top. Even brought my best wingman with me. With these alien scumbags didn't count on is squaring off against the two best military minds the world has to offer.
Phil Coulson: No, they most certainly did not.

Additionally, I cannot really tell whether the more frequent political references are ironic or sincere. But either way, they are unwelcome. Whether it's Mack interrupting someone to make it clean, "First of all, there's only one god," or General Talbot complaining that the Confederacy is like a bunch of democrats, I'm just tired of it. Maybe if the show had some actual insight into politics, it might be interesting. But instead, they are just trolling the audience in an effort to fill airtime, since they don't actually have anything to say.
Half way through, I shut off the episode and canceled my season pass, and have never felt better about quitting a show.
