References

Title

• The Decay of an Angel is the fourth book in the "Sea of Fertility"-tetralogy written by Yukio Mishima (1925-1970). The title refers to Buddhist scriptures, in which angels are mortal and show five signs of decay: The flowery crown withers / Sweat pours from the armpits / The robe is soiled / They lose self-awareness, or become dissatisfied with their station / The body becomes fetid or ceases to give off light, or the eyelids tremble. (Source: Wikipedia).
  By contrast Doyle experiences an opposed "evolution": she doesn't discover her humanity but her artificiality.

Episode

• Doyle calls Argent "Future-Man" - a reference to the trilogy "Back to the Future", in which Marty McFly is called "Futureboy" by Doc Brown.

Information

Trivia

• Dylan and Beka only talked about where they meet (Dylan's quarter) but not where they are. So how could Dylan know in which deck Beka are.
• In the secret case for the force lances are also a sword and a wig - a reference to Kevin Sorbo's role as Hercules...;-)
