Lance Henriksen was very taken with this near-silent episode, calling director Ralph Hemecker's work "beautiful".
After Frank's car breaks down he tries to talk to a person dressed as a character from the show Space: Above and Beyond. That show was created by Glen Morgan and James Wong who wrote this episode and served as the producers of Millennium from Season 2 onwards.
The children wearing football jerseys (as one of the Acts 26:8 clues) are wearing the jerseys of the Cowboy's #8 Troy Aikman and the Steelers' #26 Rod Woodson, two players who had faced each other the previous year in Super Bowl XXX (1996).
This episode begins with a quote from Abraham Lincoln. Lance Henriksen played the president months earlier in the TV movie The Day Lincoln Was Shot (1998).
