This episode is the only one to make use of flashbacks, as Dan recalls the events that led to him figuring out Steve is psychotic. (edit) Kevin Hagen gets a new, more flattering hairstyle as Kobick. (edit) Leonard Stone plays a different character than he did in Brainwash. (edit)

(a psychotic Steve)
Steve: Fitzhugh, I'm going to try and keep in mind that you're worth more to the giants alive. (edit) Steve: You didn't know anything about it?
Fitzhugh: On my honor.
Steve: Your honor isn't good enough. (edit)

Kobick refers to Dan by his last name (Erickson). This is remotely possible: they have pictures of the little people and Dan and Steve still wear their name tags. Still, it seems kinda odd that he places such emphasis on Dan's last name, given no one has mentioned it to him before. Given so rarely it's used on the show, Kobick seems to know it better than the audience probably does! (edit) It seems that Kobick overhears enough of the Earthlings' conversations (i.e., "Go west to the gully") that, along with the fact they seem to have a general idea of where the Spindrift is, he could come very close to pinpointing its location. (edit) Kobick gets hold of one of the Earthlings' radios and uses it to listen into their transmissions. A good idea, but one which they forget to have him do in future episodes. (edit) Why is Kobick so understaffed? He only has one sergeant canvassing real estate offices and with him for the capture at the end. If they had surrounded the office as thoroughly as the house in "The Chase," they would have had the little people for sure. (edit) Supposedly alien planet: The Giants also speak Latin: Kobick rattles off the Latin classification for the toadstool (edit)
