Trivia / Undocumented Features

• Actor Allusion: Due to how a myriad of works are referenced in UF, expect to see this often.
• Life Imitates Art: In Second Chances (released in late 2003), the Mythbusters are seen on TV attempting to recreate "the famous 'Captain James Kirk makes a cannon on a primitive planet' legend," as seen in the original Trek episode "Arena". During the 2009-2010 season, the real Mythbusters actually did this for a Viewer's Choice episode. (One wonders if the Viewer in question was a UF reader...)
• Old Shame: According to Word of God, some of the Core, as well as Gryphon's "Crap Period" during the early part of the Exile.
• Sequel Gap: "Transformers: Flesh and Steel", the 2003 story that introduced the Beast Wars characters, ended with a Sequel Hook teasing an upcoming conflict with Rampage. This would not be followed up until Friends Like These was released 16 years later in Real Life.
• Write Who You Know: To the point that all but three of the many characters in the first story are real people.
