Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Cole in the series has a ''much'' better working relationship with the scientists running the time travel project than in the film. The film version was held prisoner and considered little more than a tool. In the series Cole is allowed a great deal of personal freedom, the shelter allows his best friend to live with them to make him amicable, and he is kept in the loop about their plans and they hear his opinion on them.

* DrinkingGame: Cole is shown to have made a drinking game in the future about Jones's speechifying. It includes at least taking a drink every time she uses the word "mission".

** In the series finale, "The Beginning" [[spoiler: after Cole erases himself from the timeline and all the loops are unraveled, a new timeline is created where there is no plague, no Army of the 12 Monkeys, and no time-travel. Cassie leads a normal life as a doctor, Jennifer becomes Markridge's CEO, Deacon opens a bar, Katarina and Ellen live happily with Hannah, and Sam is still born to Ramse (and presumably Elena as well).]]

**[[spoiler: Cassie also tells alternate Deacon that he is a good man near the end of "The Beginning, Part II" - this confuses him, because at that this point in his timeline, he only knows her from the CDC recording, whereas she has had considerable history with him earlier along her timeline.]]

** "After" is one big StableTimeLoop. [[spoiler: Jennifer finds a photograph of a motel room with dead KGB agents in 1966 who were trying to buy 'a weapon' and the words "Climb the steps, ring the bell" written on the wall in their blood. Believing that the KGB men were buying the weapon built by the Primaries, Cole and Cassie jump back to 1966. But Zalmon Shaw and his men show up and Cole is poisoned by the Pallid Man's younger self. Cassie and Jennifer then travel back a little earlier in a bid to save Cole, and enlist the aide of their old ally FBI agent Gale. In the end, it turns out that Gale is the one who killed the KGB agents and Jennifer scrawled the words on the wall in their blood, so that it would catch her younger self's attention. Also, Cassie manages to get her hands on a cure for Cole's poisoning but must wait for her younger self to see him dying and splinter out before giving it to him.]]

** In "The Beginning" [[spoiler: Cole ends the series trapped in the 2010's of the AlternateTimeline. However, given that Cole literally isn't supposed to ''exist'' in this timeline and as such has no 'native' time period, its certainly not a normal example of this trope.]]
