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

There is a scene where Lt. Cmdr. Hitchcock sneaks up behind Frank Cobb and hits him in the head with a shovel. But the angle at which the shovel is shown swinging suggests the person hitting him was in front of him and where a wall would be.

Quotes

Lt. Benjamin Krieg: I spoke to my buddy Murray - he books talent that your smaller venues, he told me that the minors at Broken Ridge are mostly single men, who pay top dollar for female entertainers no matter how bad they are.
Lt. Cmdr. Katherine Hitchcock: I can be bad.
[everybody looks at her silently]
Lt. Cmdr. Katherine Hitchcock: What?

User Reviews

Stupid western plot

This episode was abominable. Western cliches, bad writing and sub-par acting combined to make a lousy episode. The first season of this show was really well done, but this episode was a real stinker.
