In real life, Lance Henriksen's birthday is May 5. (edit) It is not made clear what date the term of "the final 1,000 days" in this episode is referring to - either the turn of the millennium proper or May 5, 2000. Neither option puts this episode into proper chronological order. (edit) The title of this episode "Force Majeure" means "greater force". (edit)

"You can remember,
a single deluge only,
but there were
many previous ones."
----Plato (edit)

"7" is a recurring motif in the show (7 planets will be aligned). When Frank is viewing the alignment of May 5, 2000, its time is 19:07, or 7:07 P.M. Also, Dennis Hoffman's door number is 7. (edit)
