The animated sequence of Teela spinning around a tree branch was used again in Into the Abyss (1984).
In the original script, all the Arcadians, both male and female were described as having blue skin.
Three different models were developed for the heads of the Arcadian women, who otherwise all dress the same.
In-joke: writer David Wise slipped in a reference an address he used to live in when the Arcadian warrior pilot mentions "Patrol 8-9-56"
The animated sequence of Teela running was previously seen in the moral segment from Colossor Awakes (1983) and will be seen again during the moral segment of Island of Fear (1984).
