* TrashTheSet: The cast genuinely destroyed the laboratory set in the final episode, meaning the one and only take possible of the scene had to be absolutely perfect.

* LostAesop: The advanced race was originally supposed to be played by actors in blackface (the story's original title was "The White Savages") as a parable about apartheid era South Africa. This got dropped except for the city's leader Jano.
