| 1 | * HarsherInHindsight: The network executives objected to a scene where a prisoner is tortured, saying that Americans would not do that. A few years later such torture had become such a fact of life in the War on Terror that it had [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique become its own trope]]. |
| 2 | * HilariousInHindsight: |
| 3 | ** Rodney Rowland plays a [[PeopleJars vat-grown Marine]] in this show. Several years later, he plays a [[RunningGag series]] of cloned {{Red Shirt}}s in ''Film/The6thDay ''. |
| 4 | ** One of the rejected nicknames for Chigs in the pilot? [[Series/TheWalkingDead Walkers]]. |
| 5 | ** Given Vansen and Damphousse, it's apparent the Marines have opened combat jobs to women in the {{Verse}}. As a side-effect of UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror, in December 2015 Defense Secretary Ash Carter ordered all combat jobs opened to women starting in 2016, despite resistance from USMC General Joseph Dunford. |
| 6 | ** "Eyes" has a brief mention that a far-right party led by Nicholas Chaput was responsible for France seceding from the UsefulNotes/EuropeanUnion. 20 years later it was actually France's traditional frenemy Great Britain that wanted out, led by the right-wingers of the UK Independence Party. France's subsequent presidential election had the anti-EU party get only a quarter of the vote total in the first round, enough to make it to the runoff but not enough to avoid a trouncing by pro-EU center-right candidate Emmanuel Macron. |
| 7 | * NightmareFuel: In one episode, the Chigs are testing a weapon that basically ''weaponizes'' NightmareFuel. It causes your deepest fears to be cranked up to eleven. The only way the squad is able to escape is by marching in lockstep out of the weapon's area of effect. ''Through a minefield''. It helps them overcome their fears because [[ThePowerOfFriendship they trust each other that much]]. |
| 8 | * SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The space CGI for the series holds up pretty well for TV even twenty years on, though budget constraints obviously mean a lot of StockFootage. |
