Notes from the
Marshall Timeline
I've placed "The Stranger" earlier in the
timeline than it's airdate simply to 1) allow more time to pass before the Marshalls
attempt to mess with the matrix time-table themselves in "The Hole" and 2) at
the beginning of this episode, the Marshalls are still searching for food and wary of
which plants might be poisonous, suggesting an adventure early in their time in the Land
of the Lost.
Didja Notice?
At 2:50 on the DVD, Holly appears to pick a
suinaku fruit...not named until the LOTL90 episode
"Heat Wave"
(although this fruit also bears a suspisious resemblance to eggplant).
Enik talks about the "failure of the human
race...they are quick to do battle...quick to destroy..." What
were the circumstances that Enik has met or learned about humans
before?
At 17:03 on the DVD, you can hear Walker
Edmiston's breathing through the Enik mask.
When Enik uses his mental powers to make the
Marshalls see their greatest fears, Holly's fear is about
falling; another early glimpse of her acrophobia.
