- Crichton: Man, you should have met her mother. This Crichton never actually met Aeryn's Mother. It was the Crichton who died in "Icarus Abides". However, he did see a video image of her, and no doubt heard stories about her ruthlessness.

- Title: The episode's title, "A Prefect Murder", is a nod to the 1998 movie A Perfect Murder which starred Michael Douglas, Gwyneth Paltrow and Viggo Mortensen. This was itself a remake of the Alfred Hitchcock film Dial M For Murder, which was made in 1954.

- Father Ted: The look and design of Paroos the Priest was deliberately based on Father Jack from the 1990s comedy series Father Ted, which was about a group of Irish Priests.
