Trivia

	This episode was the second filmed, but originally it was the 11th shown.
	Peter DeLuise starred opposite Johnny Depp in the late 80s TV series 21 Jump Street. He's a versatile fellow, with writing and directing credits (mostly on Stargate SG-1) to add to his acting repertoire. Find out more about his career here. (Thanks to Tzvika for this nugget of information!)
	Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but it's clear from the dialogue that Duncan is aware that Richie is pre-Immortal.
	Matthew Walker, who plays Duncan's father, reprises his role in the episodes D1, 'Homeland', and E1, 'Prophecy'. Check out his impressive CV here.

Verdict
I had bad memories of this episode, but re-watching it reveals it's not as bad as first feared. The flashbacks, however, are easily the highlights. C+
