Trivia
Chris Boucher acknowledged his sources by littering the script with namechecks to well-known science-fiction authors: Uvanov was a corruption of "Asimov", Poul was a reference to Poul Anderson, and Taren Capel was an homage to Karel Capek (who first coined the term "robot" in his play RUR (Rossum's Universal Robots) in 1921).

Goofs
At the time this episode was set, Louise Jameson wore brown contact lenses as Leela. During the scene in the lounge, the right lens slipped out of place, showing her real blue eye.
