Trivia

The story is set mainly in 1985. During a scene in the other universe, the observers are outside of a cinema which is showing Back to the Future - with Eric Stoltz as the star rather than Michael J Fox. Stoltz was originally hired to play Marty, but was fired after filming started and Fox was brought in to play the role of Marty. See more...

Factual error: When the 747-aircraft of the fake German airline is being shown, you can see the German flag on the plane. But you also see an "N-xxxxx" registration which stands for USA. If it were a real German plane, it would have a "D-xxxx" registration.

The Cure (season 1, episode 6)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: When Charlie looks up the file on David Esterbrook, he says that the file shows that Esterbrook is directly responsible for INtREPUS' "controversial" R&D, including pre-natal gene therapy, human/animal hybridization, and viral warfare. Yet later, Olivia says she can find no dirt on Esterbrook who is, in her words, "cleaner than snow". If INtREPUS kept records of their illegal endeavours, then how come Olivia can't find them when the time calls for it?

Deliberate "mistake": Dunham comments that she works for Homeland Security. While the FBI is under the jurisdiction of the Justice Department, she works as part of a special Homeland Security task force; so saying she works for DHS is an accurate statement.
