Notes

• The last episode for David Jackson’s Oleg Gan, as the character is killed off in this episode.  While mentioned a few times after this, he’s never seen again.  He’s by far not the last primary cast member to die on this show.
• They had considered killing Cally vs Gan, but decided if they killed Cally it would leave just Jenna as the only female cast member.
• Orac does not appear in this episode.
• Oddly given there are 34 more episodes in the series total, and 10 with Roj Blake, it is the last time that Blake & Servalan meet face to face. To that, it’s the first time that Servalan & Jenna meet face to face.
• For some unknown reason, the star field in the closing credits is different.
• The first time Blake has been back to Earth since the series pilot, “The Way Back“.
