* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Ramos Clemente is a not-at-all-subtle {{Expy}} of UsefulNotes/FidelCastro, who had recently gained US enmity after a period of initial American approval, and was in the process of tightening ties with the Soviets. Similalry, Ramos' associates are based on Castro's closest acquaintances, such as Tabal being based on UsefulNotes/CheGuevara. The entire episode, which was aired six months after the Bay of Pigs Invasion, is a giant and utterly scathing TakeThat to Castro and his reign of terror, especially the mass executions of FormerRegimePersonnel[[note]]Who were all definitely guilty of the terrible crimes of which they were accused, but the KangarooCourt set up by Castro appalled the international public[[/note]] without trial, which he ordered after his victory in 1959, and showcases the predominant American attitude to Castro's Cuba at the time. In his closing narration, Rod Serling even makes a note that "Any resemblance to tyrants living or dead is ''hardly'' coincidental." Funnily enough, General De Cruz himself mentions both Castro and his predecessor UsefulNotes/FulgencioBatista, the former right-wing dictator of UsefulNotes/{{Cuba}} on whom De Cruz himself is partially based off on, in the first scene.
