    • Goof: It is stated that Kevin Murray will be killed at 9:45. When Mac stands by the dead body, he looks at his watch. It is 9:45 and he says: Mac: (Looking at his watch) I'll be damned, he's right on schedule. It actually must have taken some time for the police to be called and arrive to the scene, so Kevin was murdered before 9:45.
    • When Kevin Murray is thrown out of a window, he lets out a Wilhelm scream just before he lands on the pavement.
    • Peyton Driscoll, Mac's girlfriend sends Mac a letter breaking up with him and saying that she's remaining in England and that she's taking a job there. Claire Forlani was unavailable to film any scenes so she recorded a voiceover.
    • This is the second episode where a Chelsea University student is featured. The first one was Risk, season 2 episode 13.
    • Flack grew up in Queens and he has a brother. This is inconsistent with the character's old bio on the CBS website where he was described as being from Yonkers.
    • Lindsay is a 3rd grade hopscotch champion.
    • Goof: When Danny and Stella are processing around the victim, her fingers are first rigid. Then, in the second shot of the vic, her hands are relaxed, and in the third shot, they're ridged again.
    • Mac sits in with Will Dailey in the closing while he performs Rise. Nice to see his bass work. The song Rise is from the album Back Flipping Forward.
    • If you listen closely, the sound the time machine makes while in operation is the famous sound made by Doctor Who's time travel vehicle the TARDIS while traveling through time and space.

  • Quotes

    ADD QUOTES
    • Flack: We all agree here, right? Time travel only happens in the movies, or under the influence of certain controlled substances?
    • Mac: Probability... there's usually choices to make. Maybe Kevin didn't have one.
    • Stella: Turns out it's an experimental sexual enhancement drug, only available in clinical trials. Danny: Don't look at me, I don't need it. Stella: You're too old anyway, it's currently being tested on students at Chelsea University's health center. Danny: Argh, it's like throwing gas on a raging hormonal fire.
    • Danny: So far we're not hearing COD. Sid: I see you're not much for foreplay, very well...
    • Mac: There's a fine line between genius and insanity.
    • Flack: (looking at the time machine) The thing looks like an electric chair with mood lighting.
    • Danny: (To kid) You know, for a smart kid, you're a real bonehead. Let's go.
    • (After their new victim is unmasked and is revealed as Kevin Murray) Mac: (Looks at his watch) I'll be damned, he's right on schedule.
    • Hawkes: Why didn't you report this when it happened? Dean: Because I finally decided to wash my hands off Martin. I could see already there'd be nothing but trouble in his future. Hawkes: Hard to know that without traveling through time.
    • Flack: I dunno, if I could go anywhere back in time, I'd probably go back to my folks' place in Queens for my mom's corn beef Wednesdays. Yeah, I'd endure every one of my brothers' insults for one more taste of that paradise.
    • Hawkes: (holds up swab with blood on it) Someone came knocking a little too hard, I can tell you that much.
    • Sid: Well, I don't know how she was capable of drawing on her own buttocks. Danny: I knew a kid in the Bronx who could blow out a candle with his own-- Stella: (hurriedly interrupts him) What about stomach content?
    • Mac: (Sees the glass on the floor with blood) Looks like this is where his time finally ran out.
    • Hawkes: A hand held GPS unit. Adam: Only this time it was hand mounted (Sheldon smiles).
    • (After Stella explains the origins of her parachute gift.) Mac: Original and daring. Stella: And a bit too aggressive for me.
    • Witness: It was a typical night time crowd. Dumb kids, blue hairs and blow hards.
    • Mac: Again, unless you have some information to share to shed some light on our victim, we'll see what else we can do for you. Kevin: (Stands) How 'bout guaranteeing I'm still alive in 24 hours? Mac: (Wry grin Ah, nobody knows what the future holds. C'mon, bye bye. Thank you. (Shows Kevin out the interrogation door).
    • Kevin: No, I've never seen this guy before. Flack: You sure 'bout that? Kevin: Yeah, I'm sure, why? Flack: Because he just confessed to your murder.
    • Hawkes: (excitedly) In theory, if you built a machine that could travel the speed of light away from here, then slowed down, turned around and flew home just as fast, when you got back, a trip that might have lasted just seconds for you, could've been weeks for everybody else. Flack: Kinda like your explanation.
    • Flack: (to Hawkes, about the vicitm) Have any pictures of him in a straightjacket?
    • Mac: (to Stella, about romance) You and I are alike in a lot of ways, we both do everything we can to avoid this sort of thing. Sometimes, you just gotta take the plunge.
    • (While they are arresting Kelsey). Kelsey: Well, at least she went with a smile on her face. Stella: No, and I can promise you this: you won't either.
    • Danny: Fan-TAS-tic. We got horny college kids and horny mammoths.
    • Sid: In this case, the cause of death was an aortic aneurysm due to extrem sexual excitement... Stella: Death by orgasm?
    • (After Stella opens a box with a parachute in it). Mac: There are safer ways to avoid the traffic. Stella: Oh, traffic I can handle. Men are another story.
    • Witness: Can I have your number? Angell: Why, are you in trouble? Witness: No, but I'd like to be.

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Both the victim's name, Martin Browning, and the clock tower where he lives are allusions to the movie Back to the Future and its sequels.
    • Stella: Mac, my last boyfriend, tried to kill me and I shot him. This is an allusion to All Access (2x21) where Frankie followed Stella home and assaulted her and almost killed her.
    • Stella: Maybe this time Harry killed Sally. Stella is referring to the 1989 movie When Harry Met Sally, starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. The movie is famous for the scene where Meg Ryan fakes an orgasm in a crowded diner, much like what happened to the victim in this case.
    • Flack: Paging Dr. Who. Dr.Who is a BBC series which started in the 60s and ended in the 80s. It has been recently started up again (semi where it left off) in 2005. The series focuses on "the Doctor" who travels through time and often says he's a "doctor of everything".
