Mr Thompson has a folder labled "Smallville 1966", so we get our first indication of when Clark's ship landed on Earth. edit »
Goof
Cat tells Clark she has some pinot noir chilling, and then pours a couple of glasses of a white wine. Pinot noir is a red wine, and is not generally chilled. edit »
Lois first mentions the novel which will become so important in the third season episode "Double Jeopardy". edit »
As Superman is floating in the clouds trying to find Lois, his left foot briefly dissappears while the sky is still visible where his foot should be. It looks like a problem of merging the green screen flying with the sky stock footage. edit »

John Shea, who plays Lex Luthor, does not appear in this episode. edit »
Supervising producer and writer Bryce Zabel gave Clark his own birthday, May 17, as the date his parents found him in the Kansas corn field. edit »
This is the third episode in production order. edit »

Lois: What we have got here is "Cosmic Watergate"! edit »
Lois: (as Trask prepares to throw her out of a plane to attract Superman) And what if Superman does show up?
Trask: Does the worm need to know whether the fish is going to be fried or charbroiled? edit »
Clark: (when Lois says they have to take the polygraph test) I can't... we can't do this!
Lois: If we knew anything, I'd agree, but this is like taking a polygraph on the ring tailed lemur.
Perry: Well now, she's right. I mean, we don't know enough about Superman to lie. (sees the look on Clark's face) Kent, do you know something you haven't told us? edit »
Superman: I hear you've been looking for me.
Lois: All my life. edit »
Trask: Does Superman have telepathic powers?
Lois: I hope not. edit »

Lois: You really do read minds.

In the 1978 movie Superman when Superman takes Lois Lane flying for the first time, we hear a small interior monologue where she asks the question, can you read my mind? edit »
A furniture warehouse exhibits the name "Bessolo," and later in the episode, Lois refers to the street on which that warehouse is located as "Bessolo Blvd." The name has to be an allusion to George Reeves, who's real name was George Bessolo. edit »
Title: Strange Visitor (From Another Planet)
The title is a reference to the opening narration for the radio serial and the opening of the George Reeves TV series: Adventures of Superman, strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men." edit »
