- An announcement broadcast on the Behemoth says the Civilian Accountability Committee's assistance desk is open "24 and 2/3 hours." This is the length of a Martian day. The Behemoth is operated by Mars, so it uses the Martian day.

S04E09 Episode aired 13 December 2019
- According to definitions.net a saeculum is a length of time roughly equal to the potential lifetime of a person or the equivalent of the complete renewal of a human population. The term was first used by the Etruscans.

Cibola Burn
S04E10 Episode aired 13 December 2019
- Brian George played Arjun until 3rd season and replaced by Michael Benyaer for 4th season
- Right after the scene with Avasalara saying that Gao has a great campaign narrative, Bobby Draper is scrolling through the names on her device. She comes across the names A. Wesker and G Freeman. These could be names of videogame characters Albert Wesker from the Resident Evil series, and Gordon Freeman from the Half Life series.
- When Bobbie enters the warehouse to warn Esai's crew, the camera never cuts until Bobbie drags Leelee through the airlock. The entire scene is one continuous steady cam shot, more than two minutes. Or at least it is shot to appear that way; there is likely one stealth cut just before Bobbie gets up from lying in the airlock after the explosion.
