- Accidental Downer Ending: Following the intertwining lives of several characters that are all propelled by plots of cover-ups of extraterrestrials among us, assassination attempts on the president and investigations in mysteriously disappearing loved ones — the show used an unusual amount of flash-backs and a few different timelines to develop its characters, but in doing so it also managed to confuse its creators, not to mention its audience which lost interest by the time the first season concluded — the second season was cancelled with no longer any hopes of resolving many of its mysteries.
- Playing Against Type: Anyone who has seen Zeljko Ivanek (Blake Sterling) in anything else immediately identifies him as the villain...except he's actually a Reasonable Authority Figure.
