At 12 years old, Thora Birch (Aggie Travers) was the youngest actor to play the protagonist in an episode of The Outer Limits (1995). The oldest was Cliff Robertson, who was 75 years old when he played Theodore Harris in Joyride (1999).
The episode received two novelizations. The first was written by Diane Duane for Prima Publishing. The second was written by author John Peel as part of a series of young adult books based on the series. Both novelizations came out months apart in 1997.
