Production Guide
The number on the Eagle 1 door is "4" except when Alan opens the door after the crash, when it has suddenly changed to "6".
 The body of the crashed Eagle is a photograph; the nose is a special damaged model. |
 The 44 inch Rescue Eagle lands. |
 The Cargo Eagle is the 22 inch model; below is the 44 inch Rescue Eagle. While the shot could have been done by filming both Eagles separately in double exposure, it seems these shots are forced perspective, with the 22 inch Eagle closer. |
 Now the Rescue Eagle is a cut-out and the Cargo Eagle is the 44inch model. |
 The Rescue Eagle nose cone is fixed without a body. |
 Again the 44 inch Rescue and 22 inch Cargo Eagles together. The damaged nose cone is this time a cut-out. |
When the command module is detached from the Eagle, the interior set still shows the door open to the access corridor.
When Koenig walks down the steps into the deserted Main Mission, a studio light is visible at the top of the frame.
In the scene when Paul says "No one's being callous, just realistic", there is the faint shadow of a boom mike swinging over (just left of by the Lucciola lamp, over Paul and Alan's head). Thanks to David A. Sobral.
After Helena performs cardiopulmonary resuscitation, we see Sandra. She has sensors are on the outside of her gauze. Later shots show them inside. Thanks to Anthony D.
The This Episode segment contains several scenes that did not appear in the episode.
The Rescue Eagle takes off from the crashsite. In the episode, the last we see of the crash site is when the crash Eagle command module is taken away.
A view of the Zennite city with a small Eagle flying above. In the episode, we only see the alien city framed as a projection by Raan, and on the Big Screen in the Zennite Main Mission. This shot is the one seen on the Big Screen.
Tony Allyn and another guard walk into a travel tube.
Sandra looks concerned in Medical. In the episode she never leaves her bed.
