Notes and Trivia[]

  • This episode runs for 52 minutes and 29 seconds.
  • The title originates from Kala viewing Wolfgang as a demon sent to her by the gods, as well as some sensates dealing with their personal demons. It could also refer to the Fatboy Slim song "Demons" that plays over the infamous orgy scene.
  • The following locations appeared in the episode:
  • The psychic intercontinental orgy was filmed during Miguel Ángel Silvestre's first day.[1]
  • When asked why only certain sensates participated in the orgy, J. Michael Straczynski clarified by saying, "Scene was about the eroticism of sex and exercise; the others weren't. And 9 am [San Francisco] is 1 am Seoul, so Sun was asleep. Though Capheus did get a bit of a ripple effect watching the movie, he wasn't engaged in exercise so wasn't pulled in." [2]
