** Seeing DemonicPossession performed by ''angels'' sure is an interesting change of usual pace and perspective, but what about real LegionsOfHell which is bound to exist within the movie's setting? One thinks they would really try to involve themselves in the conflict, on either or maybe even on both sides.

** The scene in the Diner, where Michael tries to talk Gabriel down, Gabriel himself is holding back tears, it's very clear that Gabriel, despite Michael defying their father to try and save humanity, still loves his brother deeply. [[spoiler: The sequel series {{Series/Dominion}} makes it even more deeper by revealing that Gabriel and Michael aren't just brothers, they are ''twin'' brothers.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The concept of a badass angel coming down to Earth in an attempt to stop God and his heavenly armies from wiping out humanity is very intriguing... too bad it's executed into a generic ZombieApocalypse plot of people stuck in a place fending off from the outside monsters.

** Michael is actually the angel usually used for doling out God's judgment in the Bible, while Gabriel is usually the angel that is the deliverer of good news (i.e the message to the virgin Mary). A viewer who know these traits beforehand will see that the movie has a special ironic streak to it.
