Trivia
Joseph Washakie can tell from the look in Sam's eyes that he has killed two men: Roget in Honeymoon Express - April 27, 1960 (1989) and Nick Kochifos in Her Charm - September 26, 1973 (1990).

Goofs
The episode "Freedom" is set in Nevada. At one point, the sheriff radios the station and tells his deputy to inform another department to set up a road block on Interstate 70. I-70's western terminus is in Utah, not Nevada.

Quotes
Joseph Washakie: Death is a doorway, and we are like the grasshopper. When we die, we shed one skin, and put on another, and leap to a new life on the other side of the door.
Dr. Sam Beckett: What if there's nothing beyond the door?
Joseph Washakie: Then I would fight to hang on to this skin as hard as I could, because it would be all I had. But it's not. All of life is a series of leaps, for us grasshoppers, eh?
Dr. Sam Beckett: I guess you could say so...
Joseph Washakie: Sometimes we see where we are going, sometimes we don't. Have you ever leaped, and not at least survived?
Dr. Sam Beckett: No.
Joseph Washakie: The next time you leap, remember that.
