- TriviaThe line "See what you get for taking French instead of Sumerian?" was changed from "See what you get for taking Spanish..." after Nicholas Brendon remembered established continuity.
- GoofsSarah Michelle Gellar had obviously lost weight between the 3rd and 4th seasons, therefore the difference between her and her stunt double is much more noticeable during the fight sequence with Adam.

Is it possible to have a dark secret kept long enough to be revealed in exactly the same episode where the heroes have to deal with it for good? "Primeval" is proof it is. Not to mention how the friendships and relationships in their midst have just been shaken and tested, at a time like this, when they need each other most. And even though this is, again, a TV show, not a huge budget production, there is something to look at in awe. This isn't just story-wise, it is visually impressive.
Friends realizing they may have been mad at each other for no good reason at all, the humanity in a human being painfully fighting computerized programming, old magic facing new technology, science going too far, one big interesting story coming to a powerful end.
