An 10 minute rough cut of the episode was aired on Adultswin on April 1st 2008 at 12:15AM along with a new episode of Metalocalypse. It was intended to be an April fools joke. This rough cut had voice and animation (though at times uncompleted animation), it did not have music or any kind of sound effects other then voice work.
| This episode premiers the complete opening sequence, which is a more or less modified version of the season two opening sequence.
| Dr. Venture: I'm taking Rocket Engineers, Radar tracking operation managers, super fusion fuel rode insertion specialists–with Ventrillium handling experience....
Ventrillium is a fake element, possibly discovered by Dr.Venture, his father or his brother.
| Despite a promise by both Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer to use as few Star Wars references in this season, the episode contained at least one.
| During the credits, animation director Kimson Albert had a nickname added to his credit, which was a line from Dr. Killinger in this episode: "I love mein job!". It reads, Kimson "I love mein job!" Albert.
