Episode Notes |
| |
Chris Haywood who played Maldis is a very experienced British stage and TV actor who has worked extensively in Australia.
| Christine Stephen-Daly returns for her second and final appearance as Lieutenant Teeg. She subsequently moved to Britain where she is a regular on top medical soap Casualty.
| According to this episode, John loses his virginity to Karen Shaw in the back of a 4x4. In fact, as was revealed in episode 4x12 "Kansas", it was to Chiana.
| The character of Haloth speaks using a specific form of verse, iambic pentameter, which appears in most of Shakespeare's plays.
| John refers to Maldis as "a regular Laurence Olivier", referring to the famous British stage and screen actor who starrted in classic film versions of Wuthering Heights, Hamlet, and many others.
| Virginia Hey counts this episode among her favorites, as it marked the first time viewers saw Zhaan's dark side start to come to the fore, foreshadowing the revelations in "Rhapsody in Blue".
| Stunt coordinator Brian Norris spent two hours choreographing the fight between Chrichton and Crais before the cameras were allowed to roll.
| Production designer Ricky Eyres paid homage to James Bond film set designer Ken Adam in the grand size of the sets in Maldis' realm.
| Before working on Farscape, production designer Ricky Eyres had worked on the globespanning series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.
| At one stage, there were discussions that instead of Crais dying at the end of Season 3, he would have been transported away at last moment and gone back to his life as a farmer.
