** While most of the Krynoid's forms are scarily effective, the penultimate one is rather less impressive, looking like just a sack sprayed green with a few tentacles glued on.
** When the first Krynoid pod hatches and infects Winlett, the shoot that emerges from the pod just flops unconvincingly onto Winlett's arm. Fortunately, the production team apparently realized how bad this looked, and managed to show the second pod's shoot latching onto Keeler's arm much more convincingly.
