The Episode Title "Naked and the Dead" is a variation of a biblical phrase"Quick and the Dead", where quick is an Old English word which means alive.
Naked and the Dead is a novel by Norman Mailer about his experiences in the Second World War which also received a film treatment, The Naked and the Dead (1958).
