Series

  • Development Hell: Season 3 is stuck in it since 2011, while the series officially was never cancelled. It's been alluded through the agencies working on the show Season 3 was deemed too risky after the Darker and Edgier nature of Season 2 almost ended with a law suit.
  • Serendipity Writes the Plot: One of the biggest drains on first season's budget was the fact it was filmed in downtown LA and it required substantial effort to isolate the area around the warehouse to maintain at least an illusion of isolation. To make things cheaper and just plain easier, second season was set in Louisiana bayou due to how remote and isolated the area was by default, while adding additional challenge to the survival scenario.

Video Game

  • Technology Marches On: What is a future space colony doing with a bunch of 1980s-looking desktop computers? This caused a bit of Fridge Logic even at the time.
  • Urban Legend of Zelda: The entrance is due northeast, but "people came up with an incredible number of methods to find the colony, most of which were wrong."
