The episode was blacked out in Rhode Island during its initial broadcast due to its near-direct similarity to The Station nightclub fire. (It was blacked out again in Rhode Island when the episode was repeated in the summer of 2003.)
The DJ in this episode is named DJ Scorpius; the episode guest stars Ben Browder, who starred in SciFi's Farscape, in which the main antagonist was also named Scorpius.
When Speedle prints the accelerant report, the sound of a dot matrix printer plays, despite it being an ink jet printer.
