I recognized the terrain where they were to sell the medicine. It's the Alabama Hills west of Lone Pine, 45 minutes south of me.
It's been a film location for hundreds of movies and TV shows forever.
Something that occurred to me this evening at dinner was how this episode connects back to the previous Niska episode in that, in both episodes, stolen medical supplies are at issue. Seems that controlling a black-market business in stealing and reselling medical supplies may be a major part of Niska's racket.
If Mal had been at the top of his game, he might have realized that reselling stolen medical supplies on the planet over which Niska was in orbit could be a move with greater than average risk.
