Notes[edit source]
- The episode's title is a reference to the opening line of the David Bowie song "Space Oddity", "Ground control to Major Tom".
- Additionally, the song title was used as the tag line for the season poster.
- Ava's clipboard of "Missing Legends" was titled scenario 601, which is a nod to this episode being the first of season 6.
- According to a newspaper shown on the Waverider, it is assumed that this episode takes place after or during The Missing Link. Additionally, the newspaper included the date for the destruction of the DEO, July 15, 2020, Thursday. However, July 15 was a Wednesday.
- At the end of the episode, there was a memorial for Scott "Scotty" Carroll.
