Trivia:

According to the DVD commentary track, the original script called for an image of Jesus on the cross to be projected on the wall, with the nails in his hands indicating two of the points for drilling. FOX would not permit that, however, concerned that Christians would be offended; thus the producers were forced to revise the script, substituting an image of the Devil for that of Jesus.

Goofs:

Factual errors: According to later episodes, the prisoners are supposed to be hand-cuffed to the beds in Sick Bay and in the Infirmary. So why weren't these prisoners cuffed to the beds?
