The mutant connection.
Someone on board The O.C crew is a fan of X-Men. Oliver Trask is the son of the man who created the Sentinels.
And speaking of O.C, someone on board Channel 8 made a small blunder. The advertisement for the show was "something something from the town of Chino to California.". Hey-lo! Chino is in California, he just moved from Chino, California to Orange County, California. Okay?
