Trivia

  • 1 of 21: For fans of the show, this section showcases a complete list of carry-over details and minor character appearances that you may have missed, especially if you haven't seen every episode (or if you're not as big a fanatic as I am).  No puzzle solutions are given out here, but if you haven't played through the whole game yet, you may want to wait until you have before reading this.  Otherwise, some of the surprise encounters may be spoiled for you.
