William H. Bassett gets an opening "named credit" as Ranger Jack. (edit) The time travel/space pod is the Space Pod from the third season of Lost in Space. (edit) This episode is a sequel of sorts to the preceding episode "A Place Called Earth." (edit) Steve mentions that Barry's birthday "isn't for another six months". Barry's last on-screen birthday was in the first-season episode "The Creed," thus suggesting that six months have passed since that episode. (edit) Series regular Heather Young is not in this episode. (edit)

Fitzhugh: There are advantages to being in 1900. For one thing, I have no debts. (edit) Fitzhugh: Don't try to bamboozle me. I've never seen green gook like that in my life. (edit) (after tricking Barry)
Valerie: Score one for the weaker sex. (edit) Dan: Can't it wait? It's almost chow time.
Fitzhugh: Food. Who cares at a time like this?
Dan: It must be important. (edit)

The time travelers from "A Place Called Earth," and thus their time machine, come from the year 5477, yet Dan is able to fix it, and with present-day parts. (edit) Look carefully during the scenes of the pod on Earth and you can see the power cables covered up by dirt and then running up to the leg of the pod. (edit) The producers and writers go to great lengths to ignore the absent-due-to-pregnancy Heather Young: none more so then in this episode. When asked where everyone is, Valerie doesn't even mention the absent Betty, and the giants are now vague on whether there are six or seven Earthlings. (edit) The timer in the time machine is going way too fast to signify minutes, as Steve claims. They should also run out of time much sooner if the timer is accurate. (edit) Steve makes a reference to them having gone back 75 years in the past. However, much of this episode takes place in 1900, and the premiere episode says the date is 1983. He presumably meant 83 years ago. (edit)
