Character mistake: When Samson is playing trivia with Cross' kids right at the beginning of the episode, he asks, "First black mayor of D.C.?" and the son answers, "Marion Barry." John awards him the point while his daughter asks, "Who?" Not the first black mayor of D.C., for sure, since that was his predecessor, Walter Washington. (00:03:30)
Character mistake: When Cyclops is expressing his opposition to sending his infant son into the future to cure his virus, he states he won't be like his own father and abandon his son. The problem is Cyclops' father didn't abandon him, but rather saved his life. Their family airplane was being attacked, and they were about to be abducted by the Shi'ar. Cyclops' father strapped a parachute to him and got him out of the plane before it crashed. Cyclops learned and made peace with all of this in the original series episode "Orphan's End." (00:25:04)

Character mistake: Elliot is sitting on the porch with his mother. He says dizziness could be a sign of a heart attack, or a cardiac spasm that could lead to a myocardial infarction. Elliot is an exceptionally well-informed kid who would know that a myocardial infarction is a heart attack.
