Trivia

The name of the Australian undersea mining colony in this episode is "Broken Ridge". This probably came from a blending of the names of two famous real-life Australian mining towns, Broken Hill and Lightning Ridge.

Goofs

While Lenny and Cobb are fighting in the tunnels there is a large rock on the floor. They keep bumping into it, and the way it moves indicates that it is made out of foam or something very light, obviously not rock.

Lt. Cmdr. Katherine Hitchcock: I can be bad.
[everybody looks at her silently]
Lt. Cmdr. Katherine Hitchcock: What?
