Interesting tidbit: the titles of Guild and OSI operatives are both references to the antagonists from the Dark City film. Guild operatives's collective name is the same as the Dark City antagonists' collective---Strangers---but individual OSI operatives have code names (Mr. Doe, Mr. Cardholder) that follow the Dark City Strangers' naming scheme (Mr. Book, Mr. Hand, Mr. Wall, etc.).

I think my favorite bizarre little gag was the Monarch sloooooowly leaning towards Dr. Mrs. the Monarch before asking, "Do you trust me?" Like, he's knows he has to get close to make his question dramatic, so he just sorta inches over while she's talking.

I don't think anyone's mentioned this yet:

"Jonas, there's an intruder in the museum!"
"What? Zapruder film's in the museum?"

The Zapruder film is the famous amateur film of JFK's assassination.

That was really funny, and I don't know why exactly. I think it was just because it was a weird thing to throw in there. Why would JJ think he was saying that? How ridiculous.

I mean, I guess it was loud in there.

And quite often I felt like Jonas was yelling over the sound of his own theme music.... So maybe it was just part of that for me.

"Doe" and "Cardholder" are names you used to find on credit card ads.

The names of the Strangers from Dark City (which I live, BTW) were more symbolic or archetypal.
