Episode Notes
 
Episode Order: Although this episode was the tenth to air, it was actually the first in production order. This is why Keely is just meeting Phil in this episode, when in previously-aired episodes, she not only knew him, but was well-aware of the fact that he is from the future.
 
Original Title: Weapon of Math Destruction
 
Check Your Work: The answer to the equation "for math lovers only" is:
x = -14/3
 
Visual: The same uniforms for the cheerleaders that are used at H.G. Wells were used during Lizzie McGuire for the cheerleader's at Lizzie's school.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Barbara: Phil, you're going to be in something called the ninth grade. And Pim, you're going to be in something called the seventh grade.
Pim: I want to be in ninth grade.
Barbara: Honey, they go by age here.
Pim: Alright. I'll start in your 'seventh grade'. Then, I'll make my slow, but steady, rise to power. In a month, I'll be in 50th grade!
 
Miss Hanks: It's a pleasure to have you in class, Phil.
Phil: It's great to be here. I... love math.
Keely: Who loves math?
Tia: And who'd admit it?
 
Phil: You mind if I grab a seat?
Seth Wosmer: I'd be honored if you'd grab mine.
 
Phil: So, should we meet at the library?
Keely: No, no! The library's too noisy!
 
Lloyd: Hey, have you seen Phil? I need him to help calibrate the time machine's wave generator.
Barbara: He is at a place called Otto's Pink Pig hanging out with a new kid he met at school.
Lloyd: Great. Is he wearing a sign saying, "I'm from the future! Capture me! Put me in the zoo!"?
Barbara: Oh, honey, relax?
Lloyd: I am not going to relax until we're back in our own century, safe and sound! Anything that distracts us, even for a minute -- oh, brownies! (he sprays brownies into his mouth) I'll be out in the garage.
Pim: That's the guy in charge of getting us home?
 
Seth: I had the naughtiest dream about an improper fraction last night.
 
Keely: Hey, you mind if I sit with you and ....?
Seth: Seth Wosmer.
Tia: (walking over) Keely, why are you sitting there?
Keely: Because I'm having lunch with Phil, and, uh ....?
Seth: Seth Wosmer.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
Continuity: Phil's handwriting is neat in this episode though in "Tanner," his handwriting was very messy due to everyone of the future typing instead of writing by hand.
 
Should've Fixed It in Editing: After Mr. Hackett breaks his ruler on the brownie, the next shot shows the ruler in one piece.
 
Continuity: Pim mentions her birthday. However, in "Happy Nir-Day", they speak as though they'd never heard of birthdays.
