MISTAKES/GOOFS

CREW: When Sarah enters the restricted area and walks up to the hazard suits, a crew member can be seen in shorts and striped shirt behind the chain link fence to the right.
CHAR: When Sarah tells Carl she's from Elgin, he recognizes it as being close to Corpus Christi. Elgin is actually just outside of Austin.
CHAR: Sarah pronounces the Texas town name "Elgin" with a soft "g"; it's pronounced with a hard "g".
GEOG: In the alley where the time traveler appears, the awning of the local men's store lists a phone number with a 212 area code. This is the code for New York City (Manhattan) but the show is set in Los Angeles (downtown area code 213).
CONT: When agent Ellison is talking to Charley as he and his wife are leaving, he puts a Bible under his arm, then it goes to a shot from behind him where the Bible is missing, then it goes to another shot then back to a shot from behind where Ellison is putting the Bible under his arm again.

TRIVIA

Busy Philipps was over eight months pregnant during the filming of her scenes.
Adding to the past cast and crew nods, we have the line "Mister Henriksen's class?" from John Connor to Riley when they first meet. Lance Henriksen played Detective Hal Vukovich in _Terminator, The(1984)_, and was James Cameron (I)'s first pick for the T-800 Terminator in the first movie (with Arnold Schwarzenegger applying for the role of Kyle Reese!). Cameron changed the actors' roles, applying their talents to two other characters (Henriksen giving Schwarzenegger the "Terminator" role, and taking the Detective's role over) before filming.
John Connor says the line "Mister Henriksen's class?" to Riley when they first meet. Lance Henriksen played Detective Hal Vukovich in The Terminator (1984).
John has an English Teacher called Mr. Henriksen - A reference to Lance Henriksen of The Terminator (1984).
