Added DiffLines:

* HarsherInHindsight: The final episode reveals a sinister piece of legislation that allows the government almost unlimited power to invade people's privacy. While it was a good plot point at the time, it comes across as eerily prescient of the Patriot Act.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The ThemeTune captures [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XPXiY4ncCE&t=0m32s the suspenseful tone]] of the series very well. [[EarWorm It's also really catchy]].

We\'re zapping Needs More Love, as per Ask The Tropers.


* NeedsMoreLove: A weird inversion as when it aired the show was fairly popular and liked by critics. However UPN was apparently a suicidal network.

* {{Narm}}: "A Rough Whimper Of Insanity" portrays TheInternet as {{Cyberspace}} with flawless photo-realism, which can be accessed by BrainComputerInterface. HollywoodHacking comes into play later, and it gets even more hilarious.



* {{Paranoia Fuel}}: Oh dear god, where to begin?
* VindicatedByHistory: ''Nowhere Man'' had a dense, continuing plotline which was full of baffling, sometimes borderline surreal mysteries and twists, designed to spur debate among viewers. The network hated this, on the grounds that it was [[{{viewers are morons}} too confusing for viewers.]] A decade later, ''{{Lost}}'' would become one of the biggest hits in TV history by using a similar format.
