ADD TRIVIA -
In the scene where Scudder is in the room with Management and Ben, Management jumps out from behind the curtain onto Scudder's back. At one point, we see Management with a mask over half of his face. Later, no mask in on his face. Then we see the mask again. The second time we see the mask, Scudder rips it off of Management. Obviously an editting goof.

Season 1 Episode 4: Black Blizzard
ADD TRIVIA -
Lodz drinks absinthe in this episode, a common cause of blindness in the Parisian artistic culture of the late 1800s (think Toulous-Lautrec). Often called a dangerously addictive, psychoactive drug, it may be the cause of Lodz's blindness, revealed when he says to Ben, "I gave up my eyes for a fraction of what you possess."
-
After the storm when Sofie returns to her car, the driver window is open, but there's no apparent dust inside. One would imagine there'd a decent coating, and she'd at least have to sweep the seat off!
-
Since Apollonia can move objects as heavy as the trailer's door, why doesn't she shut the windows when the black blizzard hits?
-
Why, after such a major dust storm, do all the vehicles start up again so easily? Wouldn't the accumulated dust make them inoperable until they were cleaned out?
