This episode was nominated for the 2007 Golden Reel Award for "Best Sound Editing in Sound Effects, Foley, Dialogue, ADR and Music for Television Animation". (edit) Wildmutt has changed throughout Ben's life. In the future, Wildmutt has a cat-like appearance and features. He is more like a Wildcat, than a Wildmutt. (edit) Future Gwen (Gwendolyn) brought Ben and Gwen 20 years to the day into the future. (edit) This is the first and only time Vilgax and Dr. Animo appear in season three. (However, Vilgax is mentioned in "Monster Weather" and "The Visitor.") (edit) Final appearance of the Galactic Enforcers. (edit)

Ben: I'm new and improved! (edit) Ben: Wait! You never told me the secrets of the watch! How I don't have to go Ben!
Adult Ben: Trust me: you're gonna want to go Ben. Thanks for making me realize that. (edit) Ben: (about Animo) Time to give the doctor a double dose of Ben medicine! (edit) Ultimos: Did we detect a cry for help? The Galactic Enforcers have arrived!
(Four Arms changes to XLR8)
XLR8: Show's over, guys.
Ultimos: It's a big world, Ben. You could always save a couple of the bad guys for us, you know.
XLR8: What would be the point? (edit) Cannon Bolt: (to Ben 10,000 as Four Arms, about Vilgax) He may know all of your alien forms, but does he know what Ben Tennyson can do? I just hope after all this time, you haven't forgotten, too. (edit)

Gwen asks Ben 10,000 about Vilgax, even though this episode takes place (present day) right after Vilgax and Kevin were sealed in the Null-Void. So at this point, as far as she should be concerned he is gone for good. (edit) If the Omnitrix contains 10,000 aliens and all Ben needs to do is activate them, does that mean the universe only contains 10,000 different species of aliens? And most of the aliens might have similar or identical powers. (edit) Look Closely: According to Gwen's list, she was supposed to get the candles, soda, plates, confetti, balloons, and create the birthday wish for the party and Ben was supposed to get the cake. (edit) Look Closely: The future version of the Omnitrix is bigger and has metal plates on both ends. This suggests that the Omnitrix becomes more advanced as the user becomes older. It will also reveal new aliens as time passes. (edit) Look Closely: When Gwendolyn opens the time portal, the symbol on the door appears to be similar to the design on one of the Charms of Bazell. (edit)

Upgraded Flying RV: Back to The Future
The upgraded RV that can fly is very similar to the upgraded DeLorian (aka "the time machine") from the Back to The Future movies. (edit) Future Ben: Resemblance
Future Ben has a very strong resemblance to Korso, from Titan A.E. (edit) Dr. Animo: Detachable Head
The future Dr. Animo has a detachable head, similar to Dr. Pretorius' from The Mask. (edit) The Future: Jak II
When Ben and Gwen arrive in the future, the city looks very similar to the city, Haven City, in the video game Jak II. (edit) Grandpa Max: I'll be back in a jiffy.
This is a direct quotation of a line said by Abraham Simpson from The Simpsons. (edit)
