Behind the scenes
- The episode title is a combination of the film Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and aforementioned TV series Valley of the Dinosaurs.
- Phil brings along an red-shirted Ensign-esque character from Star Trek, the kind of insignificant character who'd go along with Kirk and Spock on away missions, just to be the first to be killed.
- There's a character at the wedding, who resembles Mr. Finkerton from Inch High, Private Eye, but he has black hair instead of gray.
- Presumably to keep the realm devoid of civilization (outside of Gorak's apparent college education), the modern family from Valley of the Dinosaurs are absent. Perhaps being set before they even came.
- The ending of the episode sets up Phil's minor C-plot in the next episode, "Evolutionary War".
- Ouweleer, Richter, and Edgerly provide audio commentary for this episode on DVD releases.
- In 2010, there happened to be a full length movie called Hot Tub Time Machine.
