| 2 | * When Ethan says he'll go after the disk even after Jim calls "abort", Jim panics. At first you think he's afraid of losing more agents. Sure, he was calm when Jack died, but now maybe the emotion is catching up to him, and maybe he's closer to Ethan and he's really afraid of Ethan getting killed. But in reality, Jack's death was part of Jim's evil plan, whereas Ethan disobeying orders is ''not part of the plan''. Jim thinks Gilitzen has the real disk at this point, and he'll get it when Kreiger kills Gilitzen. If Ethan tracks Gilitzen and recovers the disk, then the entire scheme is foiled and Jim will never get his $6 million payout. He's not panicking because he might lose more agents; he's panicking because he might lose ''the money''. |
| 3 | * The opening credits show a montage of images of the plot and the faces of Ethan's initial team. It's meant to look like the opening credits of the original television show, which shows scenes from the entire episode during the opening credits. This helps sell the idea that Ethan's initial team is the main cast and not a bunch of {{decoy protagonist}}s and [[FaceHeelTurn secret traitors]]. |

| 6 | * Secretary Kittridge sent Hunt's [=IMF=] team to retrieve a stolen list of {{Code Name}}s as part of an internal "[[TheMole mole hunt]]" - and was completely unsurprised when Hunt was the SoleSurvivor, whom he thus believed to be the mole. He effectively ''sacrificed the entire team to catch a single mole.'' The whole "disavow any knowledge" meant the loyal team members were expecting to stake their lives on their talents without a net, but sending them on a SuicideMission without their knowledge? Granted, he was really pissed off afterwards at the deaths and there was really no other way to expose the mole, but dude, that's cold. |
