Each Night I Dream of Home
- 13.
- Season: 1
- Episode: 13
- First Aired: 9/1/1999
- Prod Code: 105
- Arc significance:
-It is discovered that the plague is a nano-technology machine and not a natural virus.
-The virus can also communicate with itself. edit » - Goof: Captain Gideon says near the end of the episode that they survived there first battle with the Drahk.
The pilot episode "War Zone" did contain a battle with the Drahk.
This error is most likely due to this episode being the last of the first wave of episodes filmed.
TNT demanded a new pilot and a revamp (uniform change)and that these episodes should be shown first resulting in many continuity errors. edit »
- Franklin [on deadly virus]: It's not reproducing. It's decompressing like a .zip-file! edit »
- Gideon: Perhaps you will join me for dinner, once ... you're up and about?
Lochley: Will you be serving anything bigger than my head?
Gideon: Not on the first date, Captain. edit » - Lochley [close to collapsing against a wall after leaving the MedLab without Chamber's consent]: No, I'm fine. I'm fine.
Gideon: Of course. You're just holding up the wall in case of an emergency.
Lochley: Yeah! Well, I thought it looked kind of weak! I try and do my part. edit » - Lochley: Is there anything you can tell me?
Gideon: Never eat anything bigger than your head. Never shoot pool at a place called Pop's. Never eat food at a place called Mom's. The mission is classified, Captain. edit » - Gideon: I can see every detail of the Earth's surface as clearly as we're seeing it right now. But after my father died, I tried to remember his face, but it always slipped away from me. Why is that I wonder?
Mattheson: Maybe it's because we can't decide which face to remember: the face of our father when we were children, the face of our father the first left home, the face of our father the last time we saw him. They all blur together we lose the details. But Earth is constant. Earth is forever!
Gideon: You're too young to be having thoughts this old, Lieutenant! edit »
- Gary Cole would go on to wear his Earthforce Academy ring in his next role, as Lumberg in "Office Space." edit »
- The series was cut short at this point. At the time, three additional scripts were finished - "Value Judgments" by Fiona Avery (featuring the return of Babylon 5 villain Bester), and "To the Ends of the Earth" and "End of the Line" by J. Michael Straczynski, both dealing with the mysterious ship seen in "The Path of Sorrows". edit »
- The plot of this episode - a patient being deliberately infected with a disease to watch its progress - has some reference to the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study, in which poor African-American men with syphillis were denied treatment to watch the progress of the disease. edit »
- The life pod containing doctor Franklin
is very similar to the TARDIS from the UK series Doctor Who. edit »
