!!Tropes:
* ActorAllusion: There is mention of a supply ship called the ''Highlander''. One of the guest stars in that episode was ''Series/{{Highlander}}'' star Jim Byrnes.
* BodyHorror: After Captain Miles Davidow injects himself with the DNA of an indigenous [[UsefulNotes/{{Venus}} Venusian]] lifeform, he begins to grow duplicate, though initially deformed and unfinished, body parts such as a hand and a torso. It is an extremely painful process.
* ColonizedSolarSystem: On a much smaller scale, there is a research facility called Aphrodite on UsefulNotes/{{Venus}}.
* SelfDuplication: Captain Miles Davidow, a crew member of the Aphrodite facility on UsefulNotes/{{Venus}}, injected himself with the DNA of a Venusian creature in order to keep himself alive; he knew that he would otherwise die as the facility's oxygen supply was rapidly running out. The creatures reproduce by a very advanced form of mitosis, producing complete copies of themselves in the process. When he returns to Earth, Davidow begins to undergo mitosis in the same fashion. It first manifests itself in a form of a HealingFactor. When he cuts off one of his fingers, it regrows within hours. He eventually produces a full size, if unfinished, copy of himself. In order to prevent the risk of him infecting the general population, he is returned to Venus where he and five perfect copies man the Aphrodite facility in permanent exile.
