Trivia
Jerry O'Connell was on the varsity fencing team at NYU, which is why he looks so convincing in the scene where Quinn Mallory uses a saber to defend Rembrandt and his double in a world where America is a monarchy and Rembrandt is part of the royal family.

Goofs
In the 3rd season Episode "The Prince of Slides", while Quinn is sword fighting near the end of the episode, a cameraman's camera and arm are visible on the left side while he is filming the fight from another angle.

Quotes
Wade Welles: I think it's great. It's about time men got to share in the job and the burden of child-bearing.
Prof. Maximilian Arturo: Oh, I expect men get very excited about sharing the joy of nausea, heartburn, and stretch marks.

Pregnant Men

The group lands on a world where American royalty exists. It is also a world where men must carry the fetus during the final trimester. If our world needed to undergo this procedure to carry on the human race, I'm afraid the population would dwindle and fast! On this world, Rembrandt's double is a missing Duke, and he must carry the child for him. Who is trying to kill the Duke and the heirs to the throne? Who can be trusted? This is a great episode with a bit of mystery on top of this highly unusual pregnancy role reversal. The ending was unexpected but made for a great laugh.
