Trivia:

Season 1 begins and ends the same: "Sometimes it seems like it happened to someone else, like maybe it was a story I heard. Even though I know it happened." Max says it atop the Space Needle in the Pilot and Logan says it atop the Space Needle in the season finale.

Goofs:

Continuity: In "The Berissford Agenda" Logan acts like it's the first time he's met and seen Joshua. This is false because he saw Joshua before in "Two".

Quotes:

Ben: Nothing went wrong with me! I'm doing what I was made to do, what we were taught to do!
Max Guevara: Hunt people down to perform amateur dental surgery? I must've missed that class.

Wish it could have survived, but needed better writers.

The pilot was awesome, and the first season was great. We couldn't wait to watch it every Friday. Jessica was excellent for the part and played it extremely well. The supporting cast also did a great job, and the characters and plot was working very well.

When the first season ended, we couldn't wait for the second season. Unfortunately, as the second season progressed, it appeared that the story writers were running out of steam. It seemed to me that they made a wrong turn with the plot along the way, and they couldn't seem to find a way to get back on track. It was an awesome show, it definately had potential, and it is unfortunate that it had to end like it did.
