Trivia
Guest star John Berwick (Matt Prentis) originally auditioned for the role of Chris Gentry and also worked as Arthur H. Nadel's assistant on the show. In this capacity, he operated Peepo by remote control, provided temporary dialogue on set, did stand-in work and eventually became script supervisor.

Quotes
Matt Prentiss: [as the Seeker is pummeled while flying into an ion storm] I told you, I give the orders here. We're not changing course.
Lt. Adrian Pryce-Jones: Matt, do you think that's wise?
Matt Prentiss: Trust my experience, Adrian. Peepo! Double the force field strength!
Capt. Chris Gentry: Do you realize you're violating safety regulations again?
Matt Prentiss: You know somethin'? I used to think you were just cautious. Now I think you're just chicken.
