* RecycledScript: The plot bears some similarity to ''Series/TheOuterLimits1963'' episode "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1963S1E27FunAndGames Fun and Games]]", in which advanced aliens known as Anderrans "electro-transport" Humans and other intelligent beings to do battle with one another on the moon known as "Arena". The Anderrans see Humanity as violent, and the losers of the battles are supposed to forfeit the lives of all the inhabitants of their own planet, and they are only allowed to use primitive technology. The mask of the aliens in that episode appeared in "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E0TheCage The Cage]]". Both series give credit to Creator/FredricBrown, whose short story, "Arena" is very similar.
