Behind the Scenes

Allusions and References

  • Ellen Muth's character is a reference to her character, Georgia Lass, from Bryan Fuller's previous series Dead Like Me. Maedchen means "girl" in German, as Lass also means "girl".

Memorable Moments

Goofs

  • Sutcliffe concludes Will is suffering from spatial neglect. It would be rare for this condition to be confined to one's expressive domains and not the receptive ones. However, Will can clearly and correctly read the time. Will's encephalitis encompassing nearly all of the right hemisphere of his brain would make the possibility of this even more remote.
