Trivia

Goofs
Near the end, Frasier is sitting in the Eames lounge in his apartment. Behind him, a power cord is clearly visible coming right through the window, where there theoretically should be glass.

Quotes
Niles: Nothing is more sacrosanct than our professional ethics. Fortunately, I know a trick to get around them.

Crazy credits
When the title "Frasier" and the usual silhouette of Seattle are on screen, a red light blinks at the highest point of the Space Needle.

One Of My Favorites

I may be biased, because I enjoy political comedy; so this episode was already appealing to me, but the writing in this episode is incredible. Joke after Joke lands, and just as you think it can't get any better; it's revealed that Phil Patterson believes in aliens. That was the moment this episode was officially solidified into one of my favorites of the show; easily a top 10. What's even crazier is this isn't even the best episode of season 2; this show is incredible and it's hard to understate how funny and well written it is. If you just want to get to the meat of things, then this is one of the episodes I'd recommend starting with.
