My unknown fact? The original script called for magic *stakes* to be the major problem in South America, as they annoyingly build tiny fences around their victims and then poke them to death. Quinn naturally wants to get his hands on these stakes just in case they run across another vampire world.

However, once they decided to air "Slither" before
"Stoker" that plot point went out the window. Instead, a line was inserted into "Stoker" where Maggie chastises Wade for not letting them bring weapons (namely, the stakes) from one world to the next. Again forcing a change was "Dinoslide", aired between the two episodes and thus making the continuity between them seem stilted and pointless. So then they just threw something together with snakes and that's how we got "Slither".

That reply title line really would have looked better in front of "The Breeder". But then again so would anything else.
