Notes

• The last episode for David Jackson’s Oleg Gan, as the character is killed off in this episode.  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“.
