Line 15:
* [[Heroic Blue Screen of Death]]: {{spoiler|Douglas Hall}} upon learning the truth.
{{quote| ''' {{spoiler|Douglas}}''': Yeah, there's just one little flaw in your thesis. ''None of this is real!'' You pull the plug... I disappear! And nothing I ever ''say'', nothing I ever ''do'', will ever matter!}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Cinderella Man|Max Baer]] is Douglas Hall, [[Law and Order: Criminal Intent|Detective Goren]] is Hall's nerdy coworker/the crooked simulation bartender, and [[Twenty Four24|President David Palmer]] is Detective McBain.
* [[Hyde Plays Jekyll]]
* [[Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance]]: A certain character in the 1937 world starts out like this, but is brutally awakened to the true nature of reality.
Line 26:
* [[Schrodinger's Butterfly]]: What is real and what is the simulation?
* [[The Future Is Noir]]: As is the present, and the past. It's safe to say that this is one of the noir-iest movies ever made.
* [[World Limited to Thethe Plot]]: Deconstructed, as this plot is actually about writing reality itself.
* [[Your Mind Makes It Real]]: You enter a virtual world by possessing one of its inhabitants, and if killed in this state, ''your'' mind dies. And not only that, but {{spoiler|the victim's mind is transferred to your body instead}}.
** {{spoiler|It was more a case that simply entering the virtual world caused the swap, with the virtual person's mind entering your real world body even as your mind entered their virtual body. No one realized this, however, because the real body usually remained completely unconscious during the process. Virtual death merely broke the connection and jarred the real world body with the virtual mind inside it awake.}}
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: Grierson, loyal husband and very innocent in all the mess, is - from his perspective - {{spoiler|unceremoniously dumped at the table by the person who got him there, who then never returns. So Grierson is left in the middle of the place where his alter ego used to go to have sex with the girls and everyone knows him and what "he" does, but he doesn't know anyone - though he has faint memories of what his alter ego used to do.}} And while Hall is busy doing his things, the poor guy must be feeling like he's losing his mind.
