Episode Cast and Crew Details »

• It is unlikely that a young child would electrify a fence to hold (what he believes are) toys captive. [edit]
• It is highly unlikely that a miniature (to the giants, anyway) toy plane would have working controls in the cockpit. [edit]
• We never really see when the kid sees the ship and finds out its location. [edit]

• Miriam Schiller (previously in "Night of Thrombeldinbar") is credited as "Nurse" but it's not clear why. She has no speaking role, and is only seen briefly in a medium-distance shot under heavy make-up. [edit]
• Stefan Arngrim gets a really unflattering closeup as the episode cuts away from the opening teaser to the opening credits. [edit]
• Penned as a social commentary on the Vietnam war. [edit]

• (manipulating a giant-sized toy soldier)
  Fitzhugh: If I had a few million like you on Earth, I could be Napoleon. I can dream, can't I? [edit]
• Steve: That's one thing they insist at flight school. If you take a plane up you're supposed to know how to land it. [edit]
