  • Once the wormhole knowledge is removed from Crichton's mind by "Einstein", Harvey's usefulness ends and so he self-eradicates. edit »
  • Rygel kept Crichton's mother's ring safe in one of his stomachs for him. edit »
  • The right (light emitting) side of Stark's face scarred over, no longer needing it to be covered. edit »
  • Aeryn: (Speaking to the baby) See all these stars, their yours.
    Crichton: (Pointing to the brightest star) Except that one. That one's yours.

    This is a reference to Season 3's "Green Eyed Monster." At the end of the episode, Crichton was showing Aeryn his star chart, he said he always named the brightest star of the chart/his universe, Aeryn. The Crichton who told Aeryn this was the one who died, and fathered the baby. When Aeryn returned in Season 4, she said part of the reason she left was because she wanted to come to terms with that Crichton's death, and the surviving Crichton. By the star reference, he demonstrated to Aeryn that there really was no difference between the two Crichtons. edit »
  • Crichton and Aeryn name their son D'Argo Sun-Crichton. edit »
  • Noranti was going to have a bigger part in the mini-series. However, Melissa Jaffer had an allergic reaction to the make up. So she had to leave the project early on. She was originally going to officiate at the wedding. edit »
  • Rygel: I would like you to name the baby Rygel.
    Aeryn Maybe. If it's a girl. edit »
  • Grayza: You will not go through with this.
    Crichton: I ALREADY HAVE!
    Staleek: I agree. You are weak. You will not sacrifice the woman and your offspring.
    Aeryn: Our son will be raised in peace.
    Crichton: Amen. You hear that you bastards. All or nothing. (pause) Wormhole doubles two more times. Moya goes first. Twenty seconds later, you join us. Either way, this war is over. Peace. edit »
  • Crichton: Wormhole weapons do not make peace. Wormhole weapons don't even make war. They make total destruction, annihilation, armageddon. People make peace. edit »
  • Crichton: You're the closest friend I have.
    D'Argo: You could have done better.
    Crichton: Not in the entire universe. edit »
  • Einstein: Time.
    Crichton: Flies.
    Einstein: Time.
    Crichton: Bends.
    Einstein: Time.
    Crichton: Heals all wounds.
    Einstein: Time.
    Crichton: Rosemary and...
    Einstein: Time.
    Crichton: Time ends. edit »
  • Crichton: War and Peace, War and Peace, did you know that Woody Allen's version is better than Tolstoy's?

    War and Peace, by Lev Tolstoy, is a novel about the Napoleon's invasion of Russia. Woody Allen made a movie spoofing the novel called Love and Death. edit »
  • Harvey: Yes, mein Führer!

    In the scene where Harvey is dressed as Einsten, he mimics the scene in Dr. Strangelove where Dr. Strangelove's arm uncontrollably lifts upward in a Sieg Heil when talking about the use of nuclear weapons as a deterrent, which is reflected in Harvey's want of worm-hole weapons. edit »
  • 2001: A Space Odyssey:

    The scene with Crichton and Harvey in the white room with the bed is a replica of one of the final scenes of 2001: A Space Odyssey, complete with the famous black monolith from that movie. In addition, the final scene with the baby may be an allusion to the final scene of 2001. edit »
  • For Whom the Bell Tolls:

    The death scene of Ka D'Argo is reminiscent of the final scene of For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943), where the wounded Gary Cooper makes a last stand against attacking troops. edit »
