Production Notes

• This episode is paired with "Lifeline" as a two-parter, but more like "Progeny" and "The Real World", with "several like story elements that will run through a number of episodes in the show’s fourth season." (Joseph Mallozzi's March 2 blog)
• Joseph Mallozzi's one-word description of this episode is "desperation". (Joseph Mallozzi's March 5 blog)
• "They are both big episodes [Adrift and Lifeline], offering much in the way of eye candy visual effects, character moments, and major revelations." (Joseph Mallozzi's March 21 blog)
• "Since Martin Wood is Up north shooting scenes from Continuum, Andy Mikita will be stepping in to direct some days from Adrift and Lifeline." (Joseph Mallozzi's March 22 blog)
• "Carter’s first appearance will be in the season four premiere, Adrift." (Joseph Mallozzi's April 16 blog)
• "After being regaled by the other producers’ golf tales (“I used my sand widget to chip it in from the bunker flats!”), we gathered in Robert’s office to watch the producer’s cut of Adrift. Lots going on in this episode with some terrific visual effects sequences, some hard decisions made, and even an opportunity for Dr. Z to shine." (Joseph Mallozzi's May 22 blog)
• "The afternoon was dedicated to notes [...] and the Day One Mix of Adrift (spectacular visual effets + heartfelt character moments + funny moments = best season premiere ever)." (Joseph Mallozzi's July 21 blog)
