Trivia[]

  • In the teaser poster, the words "Don't Trust Them" can be seen backwards on Tex's visor.
  • During the season's initial DVD release, two different DVDs were included: one for the main DVD, and one for the Team Slipspace: An Epic Grifball Saga mini-series.
  • According to the Season 9 DVD commentary, it has been stated that the faces of Tex, Maine, Washington, Wyoming, and those of the original Blood Gulch cast, would not be revealed due to the fact that Burnie Burns believes that nothing they could come up with for the characters would be good enough for the fans. However, Wyoming's face was later shown in several episodes of Season 10. Maine's unhelmeted head was seen as well, though his face was always obscured in shadow in any shots from the front. Washington was seen without his helmet in What's the "I" Stand For?, although he is only seen from behind.
