Trivia
- The title of the episode is a reference to the 1989 film Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
- This was the first episode in which Chloe Bennet did not appear.
- As of this episode Clark Gregg is the only cast member to be in every episode of the show.
- The episode features many references to 80s media:
- The robots resemble Protector 1 and Johnny 5 from the 1986 films Chopping Mall and Short Circuit, respectively. Additionally they utter "Exterminate!" which was the catchphrase of the villainous Daleks from the long running sci-fi series Doctor Who.
- When Sibyl first communicates with Russell Feldman, she inquires "Shall we play a game?", a reference to the movie WarGames. The subplot in which he attempts to create a body for her in the belief that she will reciprocate his affections is a reference to Weird Science".
- The introduction for the members of the Deke Squad is an homage to the intro sequence of The A-Team.
- Coulson's new form, a face on a computer with a rotating background, resembles 80's icon Max Headroom.
- The songs that the Deke Squad have ripped off include "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds, "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake and "Walk Like an Egyptian" by The Bangles. The character Tawni may be a reference to Tawny Kitaen, who famously appeared in several of Whitesnake's music videos including "Here I Go Again" and was briefly married to their lead singer David Coverdale.
- Elizabeth Henstridge shadowed director Jesse Bochco for this episode.
