* WholePlotReference: The writers cite ''Film/TheThingFromAnotherWorld'' as an inspiration for the episode, though the final product bears a stronger resemblance to ''Film/TheThing'', which is based on the same source material. The episode and the movie are about a group of people hunting down a shapechanging alien in an isolated location and trying to blow the whole place up rather than let the alien win. Both also feature a scene where everyone is gathered into one room to have their blood analyzed to identify the imposter.
