* ChildHater: Downplayed: Carol is uncomfortable and borderline afraid of children, to the point she finds baby dolls creepy and even seeing pregnant women can trigger panic attacks for her. However, she doesn't hold anything against children, as seen when she gets along with the trick-or-treater, and even says she's not as scared of older kids and teens.

* CosyCatastrophe: For a world within a year of ending, this is remarkably pleasant. Most people have quit their jobs and daily lives in order to do whatever they want, but electricity and water are still on, grocery stores are kept running by uniformed soldiers, and while there's regular looting of other stores and breaking into restaurants etc there's very little interpersonal violence or stealing from people. Still, particularly towards the end of the miniseries as time grows shorter there is some indication of grief and despair, like when the whole office breaks into a fit of tears.

This is very out of character for the timid Carol, who lied about taking up surfing in order to make her parents happy. Surfing Carol has green eyes, and the many shots of the sky don't include the planet that dominates the sky in the rest of the series, so it comes off more like she's reading from someone else's surfing memoir.
