[edit] Allusions and References

William Shatner portrays actor Ward Fowler in this episode. Fowler is insufferable and constantly makes demands on the producers of his show, where he plays a dogged detective named Inspector Lucerne. Let's see...a character that's a difficult actor playing a determined detective...who could the writers of this episode have based that character on? ;)
