Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • So how the heck do the giant's names work, anywhere? Garak's first name appears to be "Garak" (his wife and uncle call him that). But the wife is referred to as "Mrs. Garak". []
  • Why is the SID man looking in garbage cans for the little people he just spotted on the ground? Does he think they somehow climbed up into them? []
  • Within walking distance: Garak's house. Interestingly, we get a clear reference of distance here: Mark says it is 3.8 miles from the Spindrift. Since the giant world is on a 1-to-12 scale, this means that there is only 557 giant yards between the forest/park the ship is in, and Garak's house. If he meant giant miles, then the house would have been 46 Earth miles away, which would have taken the Earthlings about 15 hours to traverse. []
More Trivia
  • "SP/2 PRILL" is the name of a explosive compound, similar to nitroglycerine. []
  • The exterior shots of Tojar's manor appear to be the same ones used for Wayne Manor in the Batman 60's TV show. []
  • The phones are back to six digits (###-###) but the first three digits are now the standard Hollywood "555" number. []
More Notes
  • Fitzhugh: I suggest a think session to figure out how to enter that domicile.
    Mark: (hauling him up) Let's think on our feet. []
