* AcceptableTargets: The villains practically read like a checklist for right-wing undesirables. The Marlboro Man is a deranged bigot and unabashed sexist whose main weapon is his personality power. Jacob, a repressed misogynist, lets loose as a murderous psychopath when his wife, whom he blames for everything gone wrong in his life, gets infected. Carol is a puritanical, hyper-religious nutjob who runs Wyndham like a police state when she [[TyrantTakesTheHelm takes power]]. Her most aggressive sycophant is even sporting a Confederate tattoo tramp stamp.

* CriticalResearchFailure: John meets the Storeys when he's hired as a sign language interpreter for deaf children at their summer camp. John explains that he knows sign language because his mother was deaf. Since John is English and his mother Irish, it's unlikely that they communicated in the American Sign Language (ASL) that Nick and the other children would use. British Sign Language (BSL) is almost mutually unintelligible with ASL, as BSL uses both hands and ASL only one, so they're very different from necessity. Irish Sign Language (ISL) is closer in that it only uses one hand, but is actually closer to French signing than any other English language, and doesn't overlap much with ASL in any of the particulars. So, while of course it's far from impossible that John picked up ASL somewhere along the way, he almost certainly wouldn't have used it at home to communicate with his mother.
