  • Harsher in Hindsight: The general theme of Knight Two screwing with Sinclair's perception of reality, as well as his hallucinatory state after escaping takes on a dramatically darker and harsher subtext; after Michael O'Hare's death, it was revealed he left the show to get treatment for schizophrenia.
    • Which makes this episode a Moment of Awesome for Michael O'Hare. Getting through a script that basically turns his character schizophrenic, while suffering from schizophrenia, and not having an actual mental breakdown must have required insane amounts of sheer willpower.
  • Rewatch Bonus: After you know Jack is a sleeper agent, you can see that he's trying to keep Garibaldi from tracking Sinclair's true location, and looks worried when he fails.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: Garibaldi is seen reading an actual paper newspaper. The chances that those will still be being printed at all in 2258 seems low, let alone that people will be shipping them to a space station distant from Earth rather than just reading on a screen.
