Trivia

• The episode title is a reference to the character Marvin the Paranoid Android from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series or the Radiohead song named after the character.
• This episode contains an opening monlogue, which hasn't been featured since Season 3.
• John Cena, who plays Peacemaker, is mentioned by two kids, who mistook Robot Nate for such, in the stinger right before the children comically proceeded to hit him with a bat and then repeatedly off-screen.
• The android Gary can be understood by the rest of the androids; something Gideon took into account since Necrians can't speak English.

Goofs

• When showing the original Legends files, a photo of Zari Tomaz is shown instead of a photo of Zari Tarazi.
  • It's possible Zari was programmed after both versions.
