Quotes

Beka: Well, all cliches of human females aside, I've never been late for a date, even a bad one. Which, come to think of it, is practically all of them.
Rhade: I've heard. (edit)
Rhade: I admire your instinctive insight into smuggling, Beka.
Beka: That'd be experience, Rhade. Not all of us are goody-goody academy pinheads. (edit)

Be Careful not to perish
A question as your guide.
What becomes the face of truth.

Trivia

add »
This episode marks the first time we see the grappling hook function of the force lance. (edit)
Troughout the episode, the Maru is shown with the cargopod attached, then again detached, and again attached without any reason why this should be so. (aka the Andromeda-Stockfootage-disease) (edit)

Allusions

add »
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys:

In the fight just after Dylan has descended from the Tower, he and Rox Nava are doing a stunt where they stand back to back and Dylan pulls her over his back - the same stunt is done by him (Sorbo) and Iolaos, back on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. (edit)
Rox Nava: Usually I'm not such a sucker for a man with so much muscle.
Dylan: Actually I'm not as big as I used to be.

This is a reference to the fact that Kevin Sorbo has lost quite an amount of weight since finishing his role as Hercules. (edit)
Rapunzel:

The woman in the tower is similar to the German fairy tale Rapunzel by the Brothers Grimm. (edit)
