Trivia
This was the first episode of the series to air since Uncle Simon (1963) two weeks earlier. Night Call (1964) was to have been shown on November 22, 1963 but the broadcast was canceled due to the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas that day. It was eventually shown on February 7, 1964.

Goofs
Cook misuses the word "galaxy". His explanation to Norda of his current situation - that he left his own "galaxy" and came to the nearest habitable planet - is highly suspect, as any two planets separated by 4.3 light years will be in the same galaxy. It is likely he means "solar system". This is a common error seen in many science fiction movies and TV shows.

Quotes
General Larrabee: Probe 7, this is Base. This is our last contact, Cook. Just a few minutes ago we got ours. 500% increase in the radioactivity around us. From what we can gather, the enemy had it just as bad as we did. We wiped them out. They wiped us out. Just one last forlorn wish for you, Son. Whoever you'll meet there, however you'll meet them, I hope it can come without fear. I hope it can come without anger. I hope your new world will be different. I hope you'll find no words such as Hate. I hope there'll be...

First Episode After Kennedy Shot

When watching TV, during this time period, every show had to continue production after Kennedy was shot. All the shows that aired after 11-23-63 all share this in common.

If you are a fan of TV shows from this era, keep this in mind during the episodes. Every actor on set was gripped with this cultural shock. The production team--director, producer, everyone on set had to deal with this tragedy. If you are a fan of the TZ, read King's 11-23-63. It is a long book that reads like a great TZ episode.
