The name of Lana Lang's husband (Pierre Rousseau) in this alternate universe is the French version for the name Pete Ross, who is Lana's husband in the comics.
Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum are the only actors to appear in all of the first 150 episodes.
According to Tom Welling, when Michael Rosenbaum was seated at the President's desk to make his address to the nation, Rosenbaum was frustrated that there were no TelePrompTers set up with his speech at the ready. Known for his on-set antics and natural comedic nature, Michael apparently threw a humorous tantrum; "I'm the f***ing President, where are my TelePrompTers?!" To which Tom, as director, replied "you didn't memorize it?".
This is the third episode directed by Tom Welling. His others are season five's "Fragile" and season six's "Hydro".
Erica Durance makes her 50th appearance as Lois Lane in this episode.
