** It also becomes a bit of a FunnyAneurysmMoment when we learn at the end of "Episode Eight" that One was married and his wife was murdered. Presumably, Catherine Moss liked surprise hugs.

* When the crew discovers they're eating worm meat, One and Four are disgusted while Three keeps eating. Although they don't remember at the time, One and Four come from privileged backgrounds and are probably used to finer food. Three, on the other hand, has a hard-knock background and takes whatever food he can get when he can get it.

* There must be some form of birth control available on the ''Raza'' given that Two sleeps with both One and Three without any worries, but we never see it. Of course, depending on how sensitively her nanites are programmed, it's possible Two ''can't'' become pregnant, given that sperm and embryos are technically foreign bodies, but she didn't know that at the time.

** And One may have saved Five from being sold off to god-knows-where by replacing Jace Corso, who was certainly nasty enough to have voted to keep her off the ship, unless of course he saw the practicality of Six's "she's good with tech" argument and figured they could always space her later if she was too much trouble, and/or wanted to piss off Portia (whom he didn't seem to get along with the universe where he ''did'' join the crew). Without One's vote in favor, Six and Four would have been outvoted, assuming Four would have even bothered voting against the majority in that circumstance.

** Actually, the crew as a whole are strangely incurious about whether or not they have any living relatives (parents, siblings, cousins, significant others, kids), which any of them could well do since the wanted files they recovered at the end of "Episode One" weren't biographies.

* At the beginning of the series, the adult crew have no way of knowing whether Five is a crewmember, a stowaway, whether their original selves kidnapped her, or what. You would think they would have at least one conversation amongst themselves where they discuss the possibility she has parents out there who are looking for her, and that when they board the space station in "Episode Four" that they would make it their first priority to use its database to look for any information on her and her family. Instead, everyone seems to take it for granted, without saying as much, that she's an orphan, and they're [[RightForTheWrongReasons only accidentally proven correct]] by her dreams in "Episode Six". For that matter, they aren't shown considering that she might be related to one of them (which even a blood test wouldn't disprove, since adoption is a thing).

* Alexander Rook lured the crew to a planet with a Dwarf Star research facility in "Episode Twelve", but didn't yet know that Two was suffering from memory loss, so he should have expected her to flee as soon as she saw the very prominent Dwarf Star logos on the outside of the building.

* Each of the six human crewmembers turns out to have two names in one way or another. One: Jace Corso and Derrick Moss, Two: Portia Lin and Rebecca, Three: Marcus Boone and Titch, Four: Ryo Tetsudo and Ryo Ishida, Five: Das and Emily Kolburn, Six: Griffin Jones and Kal Varrick. This is no accident but part of the overarching theme of the series about identity, and shows that when the crew apparently learn who they are at the end of the first episode, it's only the beginning of the story/scratching the surface.

* One supposedly doesn't have any skills with fighting (although as noted on the main Series page, this is an InformedFlaw that never actually hampers him) or computers, but if you were going to infiltrate a ship of dangerous mercenaries, wouldn't you make sure to ''get yourself'' some of those skills so that you don't give yourself away? It's not as if Derrick Moss couldn't afford the instructors.

* If the crew are guilty of multiple counts of murder, why wouldn't they be on death row in Hyperion-8 already? We know that the death penalty still exists, because Kierken said the crew would get it if they were found to be connected to Iriden-3, but their pre-existing crimes should be bad enough.

* If the crew are guilty of multiple counts of murder, why wouldn't they be on death row in Hyperion-8 anyway?

* The series seems not to notice this at all, but technically when One and Two start their intimate relationship at the end of "Episode Seven", it's QuestionableConsent. At this point, Two still thinks that One is Jace Corso ''sans'' memories and One knows that he's not. Two doesn't learn that he's someone else until "Episode Eight", and One doesn't tell her that he actually found out that he's specifically Derrick Moss at the end of "Episode Eight" until "Episode Nine". Perhaps partly mitigated by the fact that it was One's personality that Two fell for, not Corso's, regardless of what One's real given name and backstory were, but still, mixing sex and deceptiveness is not good in general, and Two initiated the relationship thinking that One was a former criminal like herself and thus someone who could relate in that sense, which he knew wasn't true.

* If the crew retained their base knowledge unrelated to specific memories, like what a bird is, what a human being is, what a spaceship is, etc., then for Two that really should have included the fact that she was an ArtificialHuman, since she's known that her entire existence pre-mindwipe. She shouldn't have assumed she was a regular human when she'd never believed that before. She should have known intrinsically that she had nanites the same way the others knew they that they had femora.

** From a structural standpoint, why have the stasis pods dispersed throughout the ship instead of in one central location? Especially since in the graphic novel they ''were'' all together?

* After learning that One is not Jace Corso but before learning that he's Derrick Moss, how is it that none of the crew consider "undercover cop" (what ended up being Six's storyline) as a possibility? That would seem to jump out right away and it's a bit contrived that no one thinks of it. Going undercover is the sort of thing cops ''do'' and One has been the most outspokenly ethical crewmember from day one (no pun intended). The G.A. would be among the few obvious candidates to have both the resources and inclination to infiltrate a crew of dangerous criminals by SurgicalImpersonation (in fact, there's no one else in the galaxy other than the G.A. who would have a ''known'' motive for doing so before we learn of Moss's frankly insane revenge plan), and One made the rendezvous in Corso's place because the latter's safehouse was compromised by a G.A. raid. If anything, having the characters discuss the possibility and then it prove to be just a RedHerring would have made it more of a surprise when Six ''was'' one.
