Behind the scenes[]

The episode "Legacy of Terror" is notable for containing similarities to the 1986 movie Aliens, with Karina the Great being the leader of a hive of aliens and laying eggs, just like the alien queen from the movie; and her giant egg sac and the fan-shaped growth on top of her head look strikingly similar to the alien queen. "Bug Stomper" was also the name of the Colonial Marines' dropship in the famous science fiction film.
