Episode Notes |
| |
This is the last episode to feature Richard Comar, who went on to star in Bordertown (the show first premiered less than a week after this episode aired). In fact, the scene in the teaser is his only appearance; the remainder of the scenes with the Advocacy are done with an uncredited David Calderisi.
| Despite playing old flames on screen, Jared Martin stated in an interview that he and Deborah Wakeham had absolutely no chemistry together offscreen and that she would flutter hands about before each take, which drove Jared crazy.
| Ironhorse's "Thank you, Grandfather" line originates back from his role in The Gambler III in which he heard it used as an expression.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Advocate #3: We need immediate action, Commander. Not subtleties.
Commander: Not wishing to disagree...
Advocate #1: Then do not.
Commander: But direct intervention has failed us time and time again.
Advocate #2: It would be accurate to say that is you who has failed us, Commander.
Advocate #3: Be forewarned, Commander. You must not fail us again.
| Ironhorse: In the real world the strong dominate the weak - always have, always will. Darwin's theory, Suzanne. Somebody starts swinging a club at you, and you better have a club of your own to swing.
Norton: Well, I guess that takes care of politics. Anyone care to discuss religion?
| Ironhorse: General Wilson wants us all evacuated from the fallout area. Our project is too important to jeopardise.
Norton: Notice he said our project and not our lives.
| Harrison: What's the use of protecting the world against aliens, if we're not first willing to protect it against ourselves?
| Commander: I misjudged the raging earthlings, both their ingenuity and their will to survive.
Advocate #1: You can take comfort in the knowledge that your efforts will be revered forever, at all times, Commander.
(the Commander turns and drops himself into a bottomless abyss)
Commander: (subtitled) To Life Immortal!
(the Advocacy turn to the policeman)
Advocate #2: And so, new Commander, tell us what plans you have to rid this planet of its repulsive inhabitants.

As Ironhorse watches Harrison leave the Cottage in his jeep, and the camera moves behind him, a distinctive shadow of something resembling a boom mike passes over his back.
| In the penultimate scene, Valery gets out of the limo from the left side and stands there, holding the door open. However, a short shot later shows him coming from the right side with the door closed and proceeds to stand there with it as such until it cuts to a shot continued from before.
| Andrew Thomson's last name in the closing credits is misspelled as Thompson.
