* DevelopmentHell: Downplayed. While doing another Barclay episode was one of the goals for Season Four, it took most of the Season for the Writers' Room to crack it. They understandably didn't want to do another Holodeck episode and struggled to come up with a new, different story that would be worthy of bringing Dwight Schultz back. It was Joe Menosky who eventually conceived and pitched the idea of doing ''Flowers for Algernon'' with Barclay.

* GeniusBonus: When Barclay is talking to Einstein, he says that Einstein's attempts to incorporate quantum principals into general relativity would mean they'd have to increase the cosmological constant greatly to make the math work; Einstein replies that if that were the case, there would have to be twenty-six dimensions in the universe, not just ten. This ''isn't'' {{Technobabble}}; reconciling the seeming-incompatibility of quantum mechanics and general relativity is one of the major hurdles in modern science, with string theory being the prevailing theory of how to do so (in which there would be twenty-six dimensions), and the cosmological constant is a real scientific term used in relation to how the two don't line up properly.
