Episode Notes |
| |
This episode was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Sound Effects Editing for a Series.
| FOX did not like the use of Conrad Bennish Jr. because another of their science fiction series, the short-lived VR.5, was employing a similar character and by the time this episode was in production, they would not allow the character back. Without telling the network, Tracy Tormé brought in Jason Gaffney as an unnamed eyeless prisoner, knowing that fans would indentify the character as Bennish.
| The make-up crew from The X-Files helped work on the Kromagg design because they were fans of the show.
| This episode marks the final appearance of Conrad Bennish, Jr. (Jason Gaffney) on the series. Although it was rumoured that the character would return in the fifth season, this never materialised.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Mr. Clarke: They came here to vanquish us, riding a wave of manta ships to our world, and so our Earth dies screaming.
Arturo: I thought you said they didn't come from space.
Mr. Clarke: No. They're from right here, man. They're from right here. That's the ironry. Don't you see?
| Rembrandt: What about common sense? I guess that's something those brainiacs wouldn't understand.
Wade: They're scientists. Common sense just gets in their way.
| Quinn: Those soldiers who were chasing us look just like that thing we found in the ship.
Wade: They remind me of some kind of hideous ape.
Arturo: What's so disturbing about that face is not so much the ape in it, but the man.
| Rembrandt: Geez, if these things are Sliders, we need to find home before they do. Our Earth needs to be warned.
Wade: Every Earth needs to be warned. Starting with this one.
Arturo: Hold on a minute, Paul Revere. I do happen to agree with you, by the way, but here's the problem: how do we do it? We can't just go up to every gendarme and say "Excuse me. Very shortly, an army of killer apes will be descending in your vichyssoise."
| Quinn: (about the waiter) I'm impressed, Professor. No matter how much that guy taunts you, you just turn the other cheek.
Arturo: Patience, Mr. Mallory. Just wait till he sees his tip.
| Mary: (to the Sliders) My name is Mary, and you are prisoners of... guests of the Kromagg Dynasty.

Episode Goofs |
| |
In the teaser, while everyone is walking towards a car in the foreground, Arturo comments on the fresh paint. It then cuts to another shot where Rembrandt is in front of the car. Additionally, Wade now suddenly has her back turned and holding something whereas she was empty-handed in the previous shot.
| When the manta ship first comes into view, Quinn is looking up at it before he looks down at the timer. It immediately cuts to another shot where he's now looking up with Arturo.
| It's never explained how the timer is able to be activated to cripple the ship before the timer hits zero. No one, not even Quinn or Arturo questions this. Quinn even tries to do it again when the Kromaggs reappear later.
