Trivia

Rae Dawn Chong lost out to Janet Jackson for the role of Willis' girlfriend in Diff'rent Strokes. For a full list of her credits, see here.

Ron Halder has some genre credits, including the role of Cronus in Stargate SG-1, but has made more of a career for himself doing voice work for both foreign-language films and animated series like X-Men: Evolution.

Verdict
Again, an interesting concept that doesn't quite carry through to carry an entire episode. Some interesting insights into pre-Immortality though - could Mac's attitude towards Claudia be linked to his first disastrous encounter with a pre-Immortal as chronicled in Endgame? B
