**Northampton embodied ‘Secure’, wanting to secure as many Altered Items and Objects of Power as possible, keeping the, in the FBC.
**Trench embodied ‘Contain’, wanting to contain all the Altered Items and Objects of Power to keep them from being used.

* A file about the Oceanview Motel remarks that it's oddly named, considering it's supposedly located within a landlocked state. Now consider the final line of Alan Wake; ''"It's not a lake, it's an ocean."'' The motel's "view" is of the many intersecting realities and dimensions it can be accessed through.

** Director Trench is always smoking a cigarette in the hotline, despite constant notices around the Bureau forbidding it. It originally passes as Trench's personal ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem. [[spoiler:Until you reach the Ashtray Maze, the only Object of Power that Trench admits to using aside from the Service Weapon. In order to use an Object of Power, the user must bind to it. The Object of Power that creates the maze is an Ashtray, and a Cigarette that never goes out. Trench has been holding onto an Object of Power in plain sight.]]

** Not all of the enemies are male. Some of the guards look female (though it's hard to tell with their unisex outfits and them shooting at you), and the Hiss distorted are probably all women (given that they are wearing stiletto heels). Most of the enemies that use weapons are male, but they're also all people who had some sort of combat skills before being taken over by the Hiss, so it's probably just that there were more men with that skill set than women. The (non-Hiss) survivors are all people wearing [=HRAs=] (except Jesse, who's protected by Polaris, and Ahti, who's protected by being Ahti), so the Hiss took over "'everyone'' that was unprotected in the Oldest House. It just leaves those who can't fight floating and chanting. I believe the only female department head at the beginning (that we know of) is Helen Marshall.

* The idea that the Former was part of the Board fits perfectly with US iconography. The Former's most defining feature is its singular, radiant eye. The Board is symbolized by an inverted pyramid. What imagery combines a pyramid with a radiant eye? Hint, it's on the dollar bill.

* Jesse uses telekinesis to open containers before she even binds the diskette. She was already telekinetic due to Polaris’s influence and the disc just gave her a massive boost to the amount of weight she could throw around rather than just give her a new power. Which would be why she’s levels beyond Northmoor who had the previous record of a bowling ball, she already had an idea of what she was doing to begin with.

** Most of the Bureau staff are ''dead'' and while the surviving Rangers are doing their best, are clearly incapable of being the OneManArmy that Jesse is once equipped with the Service Weapon as well as her later telekinetic powers.

* "Threshold Kids" was a project doomed from the outset. Topher was probably supposed to be the character Dylan was meant to identify with, but they went and made Meg, the more sensible character meant to act as a guide, a redhead. You know, like the sister Dylan resents for "abandoning" him?

* The realization that this takes place in a SharedUniverse of Remedy games means and the larger backstory of the ''Control'' game that events like ''VideoGame/AlanWake'' and ''VideoGame/QuantumBreak'' are ''fairly routine events'' in the setting.
* [[spoiler: Alan Wake]] creating the Hiss results in a massive amount of dead FBC employees and threatens the entirety of the world [[spoiler: even if he also potentially made Jesse and the FBC in the first place.]] The thing is, this isn't actually out of character. [[spoiler: He made the events of the original game to contain the Dark Presence and is implied to have done the same thing with ''American Nightmare.'']]

** The Bureau had been watching Jesse for some time, so it seems like they were happy to just keep an eye on her. She may have been, as mentioned elsewhere here, a control sample to compare to Dylan. Polaris may have not led her there before because Jesse wouldn't have gotten anywhere (they've have either kicked her out or taken her), but at least part of the reason Polaris led her there during the Hiss invasion was probably that Hedron was in danger.
