Jamey Farrell's hair style is notably different in this episode than the previous one. This is obviously due to the fact that this episode was filmed quite a while after the pilot. (edit) The CTU interior seems to have gotten a facelift since the previous episode. This is due to the fact that the pilot was filmed quite a while before the series was picked up by Fox. The audible ticking clock used to bumper each commercial break is also changed. (edit) Beginning with this episode, Penny Johnson Jerald, Carlos Bernard & Richard Burgi are credited as Special Guest Stars. (edit) Beginning with this episode, the billing of executive producers Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran and co-executive producer Stephen Hopkins have been moved from the beginning of Act I to the closing credits. They're moved back later in 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M.. (edit) Music:
"Did You Forget" by Perry Farrell
"Losing an Edge" by Rocket Science
"Darker" by The Doves (edit)

Tony: You mind telling me what's going on around here tonight?
Jack: What's going on? You mean besides a 747 falling out of the sky and a threat on a presidential candidate's life?
Tony: Yeah, besides that. (edit) Palmer: Today is going to be the second most important day of my life.
Sherry: And what would the first one be?
Palmer: I think you know.
Sherry: Well, I still like to hear you say it.
Palmer: All right. The most important day of my life.... was when I hit the game-winning three against DePaul at the Final Four.
Sherry: You just lost my vote, Senator! (edit) Tony: You know, it's funny. When you came to Jack's rescue back there with your little performance... it reminded me of something.
Nina: Yeah, what?
Tony: Remember that time we came into work together about a month ago? Lisa made some wisecrack remark, and you came up with this really great B.S. story... an early breakfast meeting with District Three. I was really impressed with how convincing a liar you are. (edit) Jack: (after Nina lied to Tony to cover for Jack)That was quite a story.
Nina: Better than the truth. (edit)

Crew or equipment visible: When Jack and Richard are trying to leave the building in Dunlop Plaza, right after Jack reties a tourniquet with Richard's tie, crew members are visible to the right side of a door frame that they walk through. (edit) At Dunlop Plaza, when Jack and Walsh leave the stairwell and head into the hallway, the camera follows close behind Walsh as they turn the corner. As it follows them, you can plainly see the torso of a man in a blue shirt with his arms crossed to the left of the screen along with someone's forearm. This happens just as Walsh exits the stairwell, holding out his gun in the opposite direction and before the camera whips around to Walsh and Jack. The gun blocks the face of the blue shirt man, and only the forearm of another can briefly be seen. (edit) Although each hour is supposed to unfold in real-time, there are three minutes that are unaccounted for. This is due to the fact that the final three minutes of each hour are used for commercials, station ID and previews for upcoming episodes of 24. (edit) When Jack calls Nina from outside the parking garage, he tells her, "I'm at 2350 Dunlop Plaza, the North Garage." However, a few seconds later Tony calls up a transcription of their conversation onto his computer screen, and there is a close of the part of the text which (incorrectly) reads, "2350 DUNLOP PLAZA THE NORTH PARKING GARAGE," even though Jack said "I'm at," before this, and he never said "parking" in front of "garage". (edit) The clock on screen reads 01:44 when Keith and Nicole Palmer show up. Then, at the next scene with Teri and Alan, it reads 01:42. Since this isn't Time Bandits, the editor has assumed the latter was intended to read 01:45 and adjusted it accordingly. (edit)
