| 1 | * FakeAmerican: British-Canadian Scott Speedman as Lieutenant Commander Kendall and Australians Daisy Betts as Lieutenant Grace Shepard and Daniel Lissing as SEAL James King. |
| 2 | * FakeNationality: Zigzagged all over the place with Nepali-Australian (and ethnically German-Tibetan) Dichen Lachman as an Australian-raised island native. Also, American-born Sahr Ngaujah, who is of Sierra Leonean descent, as an expatriate Liberian drug lord who somehow found himself in the Indian Ocean. |
| 3 | ** Singaporean Chinese Chin Han as Chinese Special Envoy Zheng Li. |
| 4 | ** Averted with Frenchwoman Sophie Girard being played by - gasp! - a French actress. |
| 5 | ** The "Filipinos" being depicted in "Blue Water" are a mix. Some are actual Filipinos, but there are others who look like them. Except that they aren't. Example: One of them doesn't pronounce "Sampaloc" the right way during a conversation with King and Sam. |
| 6 | * ProductionPosse: Jay Karnes (The Deputy Defense Secretary) and David Rees Snell (Hopper, the injured SEAL) followed creator Shawn Ryan over from ''Series/TheShield''. |
| 7 | ** As did Robert Patrick (the COB) from ''Series/TheUnit''. |
| 8 | * RomanceOnTheSet: Scott Speedman and Camille de Pazzis got together in real life. |
| 9 | * ScrewedByTheNetwork: Creator/{{ABC}} has a lengthy history of failure on Thursday nights at 8pm[[note]]Except for ''Series/UglyBetty'', ''30+ years'' of failure, to be exact.[[/note]], a timeslot dominated in the fall by ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' and, to a (much) lesser extent, ''Series/TheXFactor''. So, naturally, they placed ''Last Resort'' in that very slot. The ratings were about as low as one would expect, and only got lower as the season progressed. After finishing last in the timeslot[[note]]That includes Creator/TheCW; the fact that ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' is one of two shows on the whole network capable of beating even the dregs of the Big Four series in the ratings speaks to how low both that net and ''Last Resort'' are rated.[[/note]] twice in a row, [[http://www.deadline.com/2012/11/last-resort-666-park-ave-cancelled-abc/ ABC finally announced the show's cancellation]]. |
