    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The science fiction justification for Lyra-a (Mariette Hartley) and other Tyranians having two navels is that they have redundant circulatory systems. However, Gene Roddenberry joked that the behind-the-scenes reason was to make up for the covered navels mandated by network and studio censors during the production of Star Trek (1966).
    • Goofs
      When Dylan Hunt is first shown being discovered after the earthquake, his right leg is hanging off the table he is strapped to. When the camera angle switches to the inside the chamber, both legs are now on the table.
