* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The keener eared viewer would have noticed that the traditional English melody 'The Parson's Farewell' had become a bit of a signature tune for the series. Just as [[spoiler: we see Flint set sail for the Urca and Gates agree to let the crew kill him after they take it]], the music launches into a heavy rock rendition. It is possibly the most awesome thing that has ever happened featuring a lute.

* TheOtherDarrin: Roland Reed replaced Jannes Eiselen as Dufresne in Season 2 after Eiselen was diagnosed with brain cancer. Fortuitously, the change in actor roughly coincides with some character development, so the "new" Dufresne looking different is less jarring. Eiselen survived the removal of the tumor, but surgery and recovery prevented him from meeting Season 2's production schedule, and Reed has kept the role since.
