| ItemsOfNote
| - *Cobra Commander changed the ending of classic films using computer graphics and voice synthesizer? Now that's evil!
*90287 is not a real zip code.
*Cobra Commander's decision to televise the battle on live television predicted reality television, real life war reporting, and symbolizes the philosophy of "If It Bleeds, It Leads".
*Why was it difficult to get political support for the mission? Wall Street and the Fortune 100/500 corporations should have been screaming for action since Cobra raised the advertising prices.
*The price named by Tomax and Xamot for advertising and commercial airtime is 5 million dollars. This is close to the prices seen with sporting events such as the Superbowl.
*Mr. C tells Scarlett, "Outta my way, woman" and then brushes her aside. The moment would have been more infinitely more interesting if Scarlett would have lashed out at him with a lethal kick, releasing a fiery temper built around years of suppressed frustration about being called a "mere girl" on the Joe force.
*The "Now you know..." segment attached to this episode had Roadblock telling kids not to play around downed power lines. Yeah, that one.
