George: I hope you don't mind, Mr. Parker, we're not going to fuss with anesthesia and muscle relaxants. It ruins the appreciation for the art of electroshock therapy. Mary: ... and 500 volts is worth appreciating.
Olga: I came here because I wanted to save you this time.
Mary: Now this isn't going to hurt a bit, doctor. (smiling) I just love saying that!
A number of characters' names are those of people involved in one way or another with the Lincoln assassination: David Harrold, George Atzerodt, Mudd, Powell, Payne, Spangler, and Arnold among them. John Wilkes Booth is covered when Ramsey appears on TV as the phoney NASA scientist "Dr. John Wilkes."
During the establishing shot of the quarters of the astrologer George Atzerodt, the music playing is "Uranus: The Mystic" from Gustav Holst's "The Planets".
Benjamin Ratner, who plays Harold, played a different character, Walter, in the first-season episode of the same name.
