Notes & Trivia[]

Isis 2x03 007

The very definition of a s**t-eating grin.

  • This is the eighth appearance of Dr. Barnes. It is his only appearance from season two of the show and is also his final appearance on the series. He appeared last in "Girl Driver".
  • Although he is playing a teenager in this episode, actor Alvin Kupperman was actually 31-years-old when this episode was filmed.
  • Although he is playing a teenager in this episode, actor David Cole was actually 40-years-old when this episode was filmed. Brian Cutler, who plays teacher Rick Mason was 31-years-old.
  • This is Alvin Kupperman's second acting job in episodic television. It is his first work in the superhero fantasy genre.
  • Andrea Thomas breaks the Fourth Wall by winking at the viewer at the end of the episode.

Oddities[]

  • Miraculously, and inexplicably, nobody sees Andrea Thomas transform into Isis when she is in the school parking lot and there are dozens of people around. She normally goes around the corner before invoking the phrase "Oh, Mighty Isis", but perhaps the emergency warranted expediency more than it did discretion.
  • Why the hell didn't Isis stop the school bus from overturning? Yes, it would have exposed her secret identity in front of Rick Mason, but it would have ensured that Rudy would have survived. For someone who is always preaching about personal responsibility, she took a helluva risk by waiting until after it tumbled down the incline. Moreover, she has a dirt-eating grin on her face after she sees that Rick and Rudy are okay.
