Notes
- The outtake reel on theRhino EntertainmentSeason 1 set shows their name attached to several scenes from the infamous "Five Faces of Darkness"saga (largely onpart 2). Theclapperboardgives these clips the production number of 700-67, which is due to season 3 originally having episode production numbers starting with 700-66 (for "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1"), before the decision was made to amend the numbering of the production codes for the season and instead start with 700-86. InternalSunbowdocumentation available on theMetrodomeDVD release of the series and character model sheets for "Five Faces of Darkness" confirm that the mini-series' episodes were originally numbered 700-66 through -70.
