Quotes

add »
Frank: Act panicked, tell them I'm nuts.
Lt. Federov: No problem. (edit)
Ramsey: So it's a mutiny. Could have expected as much from a bunch of yellow Reds.
Ballard: "Yellow Reds". I guess that makes them... orange. (edit)
Frank: I'll pack a deck of cards anyway – poker is the true international language. (edit)
Frank: What, you want to backstep me under the Arctic Ocean and onto an enemy sub? (looks at Ramsey) Was that your idea? (edit)
Mentnor: The red area denotes extreme concentrations, about 3 to the tenth, eighteen deceras.
Ramsey: In English?
Ballard: Well, the phrase "radioactive death cloud" comes to mind. (edit)

Trivia

add »
That is one fake looking baby at the end - note how he holds his head up perfectly straight. (edit)
It's a movie cliche of the hero climbing through ventilator shafts, but it becomes particularly absurd here since they're on-board a nuclear submarine, where space is notoriously cramped. (edit)
Frank is claustrophobic? This is the first and last time we hear about that in a major way - he had a few problems in the pilot, but he's clearly been functional in the cramped Sphere ever since. And conveniently, the claustrophobia doesn't bother him when he's climbing through the cramped submarine airshafts. (edit)
This episode seems very Cold War-ish in a Hunt for Red October way, which seems odd as it takes place in 1999. (edit)
