- TriviaWhile the National Guardsmen give Travis good advice about shooting the .50 caliber rifle (hold it tight to the shoulder, press, don't pull, the trigger, etc.), they failed to warn him not to put his eye against the scope. If he had fired with his eye in contact with the scope, the recoil would have slammed it into his eyebrow, bruising or even splitting it open.
- GoofsWhen holding Adams hostage, Daniel says "Ophelia is beautiful, kind and intelligent." However, when Adams replies, "Yes sir, she is," his mouth does not move.

[first lines]
Victor Strand: [Victor Strand talks to the weeping Doug Thompson in the cage fences of the military base] Fire, earthquake, flood. You bought it all, didn't you? That's not a question. I'm not asking, I'm telling you. I look at a person like you and I know. You are a buyer. How do I know? Because I am a closer. I can sell anything, everything. Ask anyone. Except, uh, insurance.
Victor Strand: [Victor chuckles, leaning on his knee beside Doug] Can't stomach it. preying on people so weak, so frightened of the future that they entrust the protection of their family to a piece of paper. To some promise of a corporation. What kind of man does that? Puts his wife and children in the hand of strangers. People he's never even met. Then one day... the man is gone. His family alone. The wolf comes to the door. And, well, no one's covered for that.

It's laughable that this show bares almost no action, and in some ways this episode was no exception. There were hints of fights between soldiers and zombies going on, but the frustrating thing was that we only heard a couple of sounds as we were forced to stare at Travis looking scared for ages. The whole "cobalt" reveal was entirely unbelievable, and I had to try hard not to laugh at the idea of that when it was revealed. One scene between Chris and Alicia was kind of fun, yet seemed completely out of nowhere. The only redeeming feature of this episode (and the only reason it's not getting one star from me) is the plot involving Daniel Salazar, which was actually effective and entertaining for the most part. Presently he's the only character I care for, and thankfully this was his episode to shine in. Although asides from that, there was nothing to enjoy here.
