Background information[]

  • These episodes mark the arrival of Security Officer Keung Lee aboard Independence, a former British soldier from the 20th century who was inadvertently transported into the future.
  • This episode also saw Aly and Vem'pek getting together as a couple. This brief but intense affair was intended to help flesh out Aly's character emotionally, all the more so because Vem'pek was always intended to be killed off in the following episode.
