Other mistake: Captain Eureka losing his finger makes absolutely no sense. He doesn't cry out in pain, there's no blood, and where the finger ended up is completely illogical. The finger didn't just sever on its own; it's shown that severing only occurs when passing through objects. Captain Eureka goes through a wall that is a good fifteen feet away from where the finger is discovered, and it is implausible to think it could have rolled there on its own.

Marshall Jack Carter: Let's not shoot the crazy end-of-the-world machine just yet.
Trivia: When Allison and Jack are talking about their relationship and marriage is mentioned, Allison says "is it so inconceivable?" This episode features Wallace Shawn (as Dr. Hughes). Shawn starred in "The Princess Bride" where his character was known for saying "inconceivable."
Question: I've been re-watching this show, and have noticed this in nearly every episode. In scenes inside GD, there's always one person, a background extra, who seems to have clear plastic wrap over their clothes. Do you know what that is all about?
Chosen answer: It's basically just a type of suit that's made for whatever special project they're working on. No different than a lab coat, hazmat suit, fire coat, etc.
