* ArtisticLicenseNuclearPhysics: Oliver was looking at a nuclear explosion ''through a telescope''. You're not supposed to look at the sun through a telescope, certainly not a nuclear explosion. That eye should be at the very least temporarily blinded - or more realistically - permanently.

* AppendageAssimilation: The aliens can take human brains and use them as processors for their war machines. If damaged, they just grab a new brain. It looks like the rest of the body is melted down in the motherships (they throw them into a glowing pool).

In the sequel a character falls in and reacts to it like water; it then "flushes" its contents into the sky.
