• Solid pools can be found in Rhapsodia.
• Sam's shirt is made of "100% organic cotton using natural Dyson textiles".
• Rhapsodian Word/Slang From This Episode: "Shnock" means "points" or "yeah" (e.g. "Eighteen shnocks for Wendy!" and "Shnock, thanks you guys!"). Another word is "Schnekies" probably means that someone doesn't expect that he or she already improve his/her powers..

• I didn't know that the MBC's supercomputer has intergalactic TV channels.
• The MBC requires performance records via files in order to continue the authorization of the club, according to the Galactic Commander.
• The Galactic Commander likes popcorn with butter.
• Outcraker doesn't realize that the customers at the restaurant he's in are looking at his robot.
• MBC Rule number three - "Always gonna help each other".
• This episode reminds me of Amazon Kevin and Adam Lyon in My Gym Partner's A Monkey episode "Amazon Kevin" (animated series from Cartoon Network). Adam invited his favorite star Kevin to school, but Jake's animal friends hated Kevin because of his roughness to animals. Also, Outcraker and Amazon Kevin have similar titles in their show - "Outcraker's Badland Galaxy Tour" and "Amazon Kevin's Wild Animal Takedown".
• Did the Galactic Commander broadcast the MBC's footage live? I thought the club must be kept secret...or probably he doesn't allow the MBC to reveal them on Earth only.

•  Al Schwartz becomes the new head writer, replacing John Derevlany.
•  Another question about the characters is revealed: Danny's surname is Jackson.
• Cathy said to Danny: "Greetings Principal Daniel, sir". It's assure that Danny's real name is Daniel.
  
• A student as a principal for a day? That seems weird for a school like STMS to have that. Is Principal Rollins take a vacation or she's busy in other things aside from school?
• At the street, Wendy calls Sam Samantha.
• Don't try what Sam did in this episode: She rides using a luggage pushcart while she has a cast.
• Danny gives an A grade to his female classmates who take Mr. Fusster's exam. What about Cathy, Sam and Wendy? My guess is that Danny give those three girls an exemption because they're his friends.
• When Sam enters to the sewers, there's a mysterious red insignia stuck in the manhole. What's interesting is that it hints as a foreshadowing for "The End Of Everything (Part Two)", unless if somebody confirms to me that episode happens before this episode.
• At the school's basement, Cathy and Chris' suits don't glow in the dark. 
• Saved by Matrix: When Chomper's robot shoots Sam's cast, her cast cuts half near Chris.
• Danny does know that Wendy isn't nice at him.

• Jeremy's board game, "Demons and Daggers" is an opposite reference of Dungeons and Dragons video game.
• The Demons and Daggers game includes - blue octahedron dice (8 sides), red dodecahedron dice (12 sides), yellow dust, rule book, paper and pen. That game requires four players to play.
• In the game, Danny's nickname is Cabazon the Codemaster, Jeremy is the Demon Master and Ralph is the Warrior Princess.
• Cathy says that the mysterious holes that Sam found are like the distant cousins of extinct three-toed Rhapsodian mailbox.
• Schlaboonagon - an ancient alien shape that the sum of all sides is equal to the square root of the third hypotenuse (Okay, it's much similar to Pythagorean Theorem). It is also a national symbol of planet Gunyatto.
• Cathy says that her uncle Byron used to take her in planet Gonyatto for ice cream every Tuesday and Thursdays, and twice on Fridays. So that means in Rhapsodia, the names of the days of the week is same on Earth.
• She admits that she she dropped Eastern Galactic Dialects when she was in 73rd grade. It's because she's not as linguistic as Mr. Smith in reading Gunyattio (the language of Gunyatto).

• How to play Parchugal? Parchugal's playfield is similar to the pinball on Earth but only big. The players (which called Parchugers) have to face obstacles like avoiding flippers and jumping to the bumpers. It's optional to use those traps. The goal of the game is that the players must climb up the stairs and push the button. Whoever pushes the button first is the winner.
• A stairs that leads to the outer space? Danny seems to be getting tired climbing that.

We're gonna drain...
We're gonna drain your brain, oh yeah!

Just make brain drain your brain!
We're gonna drain...
We're gonna drain your brain, oh yeah!
No need to explain
Just make brain drain your brain!
Drain your brain!...

• Song Lyrics from the Monster Buster Club (at the contest). Correct me if I'm wrong...

One, two, three...
Fill it up!
Fill my kind with good stuff!
Fill it up!
I just can't get enough!
Fill it up!

• In French dub, their song is much better. I think their song's title for the contest is "Monster Buster Club".

• Somebody pointed out that the girl in the poster at the beginning of the episode looks like a female version of Danny.

• Chris and Jeremy joins the tap-dancing club, aside from being computer club members. The instructor is Mr. Pillsbury.
• Mr. Fusster's chalk writing isn't clear . We can't read the word "Rhapsodia".
• Strange book titles found in the school's library: "GSDHHJJKASB", "WAGDASM", "FUQWOIFXV", and "DGJEGJDGJERIOGJUO". How can students able to read with those books?

Aliens On The Fast Track
Many of the shop's tool and other machines from Singletown are missing, including Mr. Bitty's . Mr. Bitty suspects that his part-time employer Chris and his three other friends, who come for a visit, stole all of his items.

• On Disney Channel Asia, "Aliens On The Fast Track" is the 13th episode of MBC.
• Chris' real name is revealed: Christopher
• Chris works on a part - time job at Mr. Bitty's shop. I've seen few cartoon show where the middle or elementary school kids worked on part-time jobs.
• Cathy uses her arm to drill.
• In English dub version, there's a part in this episode where Cathy's voice is replaced with Sam's voice.
• I don't think Cathy will earn some money from doing her (own) part - time job. Poor girl, she's allergic to dogs.
• Rhapsodian Word/Slang From This Episode: "Shnizbert" means "bad". It also connotes as a bad pet (e.g. bad dog).
• No matter how many pigeons you have, it's impossible that they'll lift you up in the sky (If that happens, what if few of them is unable to carry your weight?)
• How can a Speed Morpher like Speedy is able to carry hundreds of canned aliens from the clubhouse in few seconds?
• MBC has another vehicle, the Carpedo. It looks like a limousine, though.
• Speedy resembles XLR8 from Ben 10. See their difference... 
• "Where did Speedy spent his money to go back on his home planet?" Well, nobody knows unless it's possible that the place where Speedy lives accepts money from Earth.

• Mr. Smith says that the grasses in Rhapsodia do the ground shaking when they're trimmed.
• Cathy tells to her friends that Mr. Smith has a personal "craft" hidden under the garden gnome. That's not the spaceship used by Cathy and Mr. Smith when they arrived on Earth, though.
• Why is Singletown Middle School allowed Mr. Fusster and his students to go field trip on city sewers? It seems dangerous especially they don't have at least one tour guide.
• In Mr. Fusster's class, there are 12 students but only few of them join the field trip. Jeremy, Ralph and Roy are also Mr. Fusster's students but they aren't present in his class...
• Who are present in the field trip? Jeremy, Mark, Ralph, Roy, Wendy, Danny, Sam, Chris and Cathy.
• There's another room for MBC pods, aside from the underground.
• Rhapsodian Dictionary (Or Slang) From This Episode: "Snorpted" means "doomed".
• Cathy says that the Rhapsodians have glow bones that can help them see in the dark. 
• She also says that the Rhapsodians have toilets in the sewer tunnels.

Monster Buster Club Episode 13 / 16 - Statue of Limitation

Statue Of Limitation
Many residents, including Sam are preparing for the celebration of foundation of Singletown. However, Cathy claims that it's founder, Addison Single is an alien inside the statue and his intention is to make a gathering place for aliens. Deep in the abandoned storage, Chris accidentally touched a gemstone and turns out that the statue is alive.

• On Disney Channel Asia, "Statue Of Limitation" is the 16th episode of MBC.
• "Statue of Limitation" is the opposite - reference of New York City's Statue of Liberty.
• The real Mr. Gluten (from "The Trouble With Troublemaking") returns.
• It seems hard for Addison Single to watch Singletown for many years in his state - act like a statue and endure pigeon poop
• Cathy stretches her arms to deactivate the locks inside the tubes. Wait, does this remind me of Avatar: The Last Airbender episode "The Southern Air Temple", where Aang opens the gate using Airbending?
• Why didn't Cathy said to her friends before that there is an underground where the history of Single Town is kept?
• Inside the old room, there are old weapons like the original Vacuvator and wooden Double X. Chris gets fascinated to those old stuff.
• So that means the MBC existed in the 19th century on Earth! The original members even defeated Addison's Morphering Glob.
• In this picture, we can tell that the past MBC members are human beings just like the current MBC members (except Cathy, if you count her as an alien). I wonder who were they?

• MBC Rule number one: "Don't tell anyone about the mission". 
• Ralph and Roy seem capable of riding electric scooters at their young age.

Monster Buster Club Episode 7 - Flower King

Flower King
The MBC receives another mission from Galactic Commander - by protecting the Flower King named King Petalia XIII, until his ambassadors from his home planet arrive. However, the MBC seems to ignore it because they have something else to do. They don't notice that Petalia is kidnapped by Jeremy, who thought the king as an ordinary flower by mistake.

Clipperbot (at school) -

• Chris and Sam like to play video games.
• The video game consoles they use is similar to XBOX 360 and PlayStation X. The game they're playing is called Blastratron 3000 (I think it is based on Space Invaders).
• Jeremy has a crush on Cathy.
• King Petalia XIII's name is based after Louis XIII, king of France during early 1600's.
• There's are campaign posters of Brian and Cathy (from the episode "World's Toughest Kid") but this is episode number 7! Probably this episode happens after the MBC busted the Armor Stickies (see Season 1. Episode 9 / 10 for more details).
• It looks like the Casanova Vine is female - she likes to constrict Danny.
