Outside of its somber main plotline, this episode features a terrific pop-culture joke involving the 23nd century periodical Universe Today (which boasts such headlines as "Is There Somthing Living In Hyberspace?")

The McCarthy Era threatens to reblossom in the 23rd century when Sinclair is targeted for a witch hunt by an embittered Earthforce special investigator.

And on the lighter side, Garibaldi tries to restore a 20th century motorcycle, while a throwaway line makes reference to the real-life band fronted by series regular Bill Mumy. Written by Lawrence G. Tillion, "Eyes" was filmed as the final installment of Babylon 5's first season, though it was ultimately telecast as the 16th of the season's 22 episodes on July 13, 1994. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Michael Straczynski, "Chrysalis" was originally slated for an August 1994 telecast, but the Paramount syndication network opted to run the episode on October 26, 1994, as the opener of Babylon 5's second season (which it really wasn't).

In the first part of this episode, a captive Riker learned to his horror that Picard had joined a band of mercenaries who looted galactic archeology sites and sold their ill-gotten gains to the highest bidder. By the time part two rolled around, both Riker and the audience had been assured that Picard was merely posing as an outlaw to prevent the villains from getting their hands on a dangerous Vulcan artifact. Likewise pretending to cast his lot with the looters, Riker assists Picard in his efforts, which may well result in death for both men. Written by Ronald D. Moore from a story by Naren Shankar, part two of "Gambit" originally aired October 23, 1993. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
