Mr. Whittaker is an adult version of Milo Thatch.
- And the Imagination Station is built with Atlantean Technology.
- Something Atlantean is allowing him to live forever, explaining not only how he survived to the present, but how stays the same from the '80s to the 2010s.
Whit is a Time Lord.
It had to be said. The Imagination station is his TARDIS. This, again, explains why he doesn't age. Not only that, he's a fob-watched Time Lord, like when the Doctor and Master hid their memories. Because of his lack of memories, he has no idea he's from Gallifrey and he is a devout Christian. He built Whit's End as a place for "kids to just be kids" because Time Lords never have much of a childhood, and he subconsciously remembers that. Agnes Riley, in addition to depression, was also suffering from dementia while at Hillendale Haven
- From her second appearance onward, Agnes Riley (Tom's wife) was described as having been placed in Hillendale Haven following what's described as a deep depression; but after the events involving the Novabox (a device from Novacom that purported to improve mental skills in a number of areas; only for the improvements to be temporary and leave the user in a much worse state than before) Agnes' condition deteriorated to where some of her symptoms more closely resembled a type of dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease; leaving open the possibility that Agnes might have developed dementia following the Novabox effects reversing and/or, alternately, the possibility Agnes may have been in the early stages of dementia in addition to depression and the Novacom effects made things much worse.
The water gun Richard Maxwell used in the climax of "Waylaid in the Windy City: Part 2" was a used Entertech water gun or fictional equivalent.
- The episode's original airdate was in 1991; five years after Entertech, a short-lived subsidiary of LJN Toys, wound up in a massive controversy over the realistic looking water guns; only for those to be embroiled in a number of controversies ranging from children being shot and killed because a police officer mistook the water gun for the real thing to robbers using the water guns in holdups. Richard - having just been paroled for his burning down Tom Riley's farm when he was working for Dr. Regis Blackgaard prior to turning on Blackgaard - even alludes to not wanting to risk violating his parole by trying to buy a real gun to use in his confrontation with Blackgaardnote ; so it seems likely given that particular line of water guns was later revamped and ultimately discontinued (with LJN shuttering Entertech altogether by 1990 after LJN's acquisition by Acclaim) that Richard had a used Entertech or In-Universe equivalent.
