Trivia / Wicked Science

• Australia Doubling: When Elizabeth traps herself and Toby in a virtual American Old West town, the surrounding terrain looks an awful lot like Australia, complete with eucalyptus trees everywhere. It becomes even more blatant when Toby and Elizabeth ride off into a billabong. A similar situation occurs when Russ is sent back in time to what must be Paleolithic Europe, but which couldn't look less like the Australian outback.
• Dawson Casting: Though it's never stated on the show how old the characters are, the promotional works for the show refer to them as 15-year-olds at the time of the pilot. The main cast were actually 18 to 19 years old at the time it was filmed.
