Clone High Season 1 Episode 8

In JFK's van, Abe is being pressured to smoke Raisins, and the heads of six of the clones in the van disattach from their bodies and fly around in a circle. Catherine the Great's head, who is one of the clones there, is missing.

Gandhi empties the entire bag of trail-mix into his mouth but when he's riding on Geldemoor several minutes later, she asks him if he could eat some more to lighten the load. How is he supposed to eat more if he ate it all?

The crown Scudworth is wearing when he decides that he's King of the PTA looks very similiar to the Prom King crown in ep 13. It could even be the same one.

When Gandhi's pupils shatter, he panics and jumps through a window in JFK's van. Why is JFK not concerned about his property being damaged?

I buried Ponce:
I buried Ponce is a subliminal message, that plays when JFK is in a wheelchair at the beach. How did JFK (or anybody) bury somebody who isn't dead, and doesn't die for an episode or two?

The Chimera
Gandhi's guide through his sub-conscious is Geldhemoor, the Honkeycorn. Geldhemoor is part donkey, part hummingbird, and part unicorn. She is similiar to the mythological monster Chimera, who is part goat, part lion, and part serpent.

Scudworth: Raisins are a gateway fruit!
Student Hippy: Let's smoke crack instead.
Scudworth was right. Raisions are a gateway drug or gateway fruit.

Goof: Why does Scudworth not know about the PTA? He was running the meeting about Gandhi's ADHD in episode 3.

From the moon's pattern, it seems that this episode takes at least 3 weeks to play out: The first time the moon is visibile is when they are all in JFK's van, and the moon is waxing. Later, when Exclamation! is a wasteland and the sky is red, the moon is waning .: The moon has gone through 6 phases, or roughly 3 weeks.

Jimmy Hendrix is in JFK's van, presumably smoking raisions. Despite the fact that Jimmy is a renowned singer, he has no spoken or sung lines during the entire musical episode.

Abe: The Only Thing Ganhdi and I will be inhaling is a little drug called Abstinence.
There is a high-alcohol beverage called Absinth or Absente, which is sometimes mistakenly called Abstinence.

There were many subliminal messages throughout the episode. When Cleo exhales in JFK's van, her smoke shows the word "Sex", and The Pusher's smoke says "Smoke Raisins" when he sings to Joan.
There are also many single-frame flashes:
-DNA Dan says "Let's go to the dark side!" during the the 'lion' logo at the start
-an anthropomorphic raisin is smoking a joint that has Principal Scudworth's head on it after a commercial break
- a message says "Scudworth is your favorite character" at the PTA meeting.
-Cleo is shown NAKED when sitting next to Abe under the moonlight, though her nipples appear to be flowers (oh, Abe's naked too)
-a message says "I buried Ponce" as JFK is in a wheel chair.
- there is an overlay of Joan praying in front of some religious symbol as Joan sings "Ayee-Ayee-Ayee-Abe" (the second time)
- there is a message that says "For more information about raisins consult your local library" at the end of the episode.
- A picture of a raisin smoking a joint pops up when 'Clone high' is on the screen when it comes back from the first commercial.

The "Welcome to EXCLAMATION! U.S.A." sign seems to have been augmented with "Population: Fantastic". This extra phrase disappaers half way through the episode.

The only kid ready to say 'no' to drugs at Larry Hardcore's concert was also the only kid to approve of putting tinted windows in the albino wing of the school in Episode #2.

Abe says that Cleo and he have been dating for two weeks. This is hard to reconcile with the erratic schedule of the episodes, assuming that they started dating in "La Rue D'Awakening" and the episodes are considered to be one week apart in real time.

JFK says "I am talking backwards and telling you to watch clone high and for us to get an emmy. I'm saying that backwards because it's neat." backwards as he is falling from the skylight into the PTA meeting.

Joan is stuck for a moment on top of a burning pile of raisins. What are the odds that Joan could be burned to death twice?

Right before Abe jumps to attack Scudworth, he is posed in Jesus stance, perhaps indicating that Abe has a Jesus complex, or simply another religious subliminal message.

During the song Higher, right after the line "After this line there's gonna be a refrain!" We can see Joan in the drum circle at about 11:00. She was the only clone that didn't smoke rasins, so she shouldn't be there. Also, the circle seems to expand from 4 to 8 from "The sun is rising up to higher plane" to "After this line there's gonna be a refrain."

Goof: When JFK "crashed" the PTA meeting, he breaks his left leg. However, at the end when he appears in the wheelchair, it's his right leg that's in the cast.

Goof: Joan's lips don't move when she is sitting in the tree and says, "Oh, tree". They move for the rest of the sentence.

In the superimposed subliminal flash of Joan praying, she appears to have five-digit hands, whereas she should have only four. Her pupils are also unusually constricted.
