Connor Trinneer is best known for his role as Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker III on the Star Trek: Enterprise series.

This episode was shown in Canada (The Movie Network) on 16 January 2006, a couple of weeks before the regular airdate in the US.

It appears Wraith, once reverted back to human form, have Texas accents.

Teyla: You may not understand this now, but making you human... I believe this could make your life better.
Michael: Really?! Because from what I was told, you made me human in order to make your lives better.

In the scene when Teyla and Michael are in his room and he reaches for the picture of his parents on his desk, the laptop next to it is closed, but when the scene switches to Sheppard watching him with the security camera's you can see on the computer screen that the laptop on his desk is now open.

Michael's name came from Sheppard's idea for a name for him (Like Steve and Bob in earlier eps), and his last name is from Dr. Beckett's scenic Scottland calendar of the town of Kenmore, Scottland.
