  • Captain Jenek tells Emperor Staleek early on in this episode that D'Argo's ship, Lo'La, is an Eradicator. edit »
  • Sikozu tells the crew that she's a genetically enhanced Kalish, empowered with the ability to emit radiation that destroys Scarran heat producing glands, killing them. edit »
  • Stark once lived on Katratzi, assisting the Scarran leadership class with their death rituals. Scorpius was torturing Stark in the Aurora Chair (see "Nerve") to get information about Katratzi, and the location of the mother flowers. edit »
  • D'Argo and Chiana are back together, as of this episode, where they're seen sharing a bed. Sikozu and Scorpius also share a kiss, indicating their romantic entanglement. Pennoch and Ahkna are also apparently lovers. edit »
  • Braca's first name is revealed in this episode. His full name is Meeklo Braca. edit »
  • Grayza: In my hands, you can have peace. I...can...have...peace.
    Crichton: I have been in your hands. There's no peace there...just power. edit »
  • Crichton: (when Scorpius tells him they have to destroy the Crystherium Utilia) Flowers trump wormholes?!
    Scorpius: At the moment, yes. edit »
  • Crichton: (to Scorpius) So, here we are, cadaver and Hutch. edit »
  • Crichton: What the hell’s going on up there?
    D’Argo: We couldn’t override their override of our override. edit »
  • Scorpius: I do not lose!
    Crichton: Be happy to give you lessons. edit »
  • Crichton: (to Scorpius) So, here we are, cadaver and Hutch.

    This is a play on the title of the 70's Cop show Starsky and Hutch starring David Soul and Paul Michael Glazer as 2 cop-buddies. edit »
  • Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:

    Crichton calls the elevator a Wonkavator at one point. This is a reference to Willy Wonka's Glass Elevator in the Roald Dahl books Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. edit »
  • Crichton: I'm on the brink of devastation, Minnie Pearl.

    Minnie Pearl was an actress well know for her extravagant hats. edit »

    Crichton writes "Hi there" on his fission bomb. This mirrors "Hi there" written on one of the two bombs in Doctor Strangelove. edit »
