    • Goofs
      Though Nick is deaf, he responds to the sound of an owl hooting by turning his head as if startled.
    • Quotes

      Stu Redman: Where's your buddy, Denninger?

      Dr. Dietz: [points a gun at Stu] Well, he's dead... They're all dead... everybody except for me and thee.

      Stu Redman: And you're here to take care of me. Is that it?

      Dr. Dietz: Hole in one!

      Stu Redman: Why?

      Dr. Dietz: Why? Because I've decided a piece of country fried crap like you doesn't deserve to live, not with so many good men dying.

      Stu Redman: Those "good men" caused this mess!

    • Crazy credits
      The film opens with white words on a black screen: This is the way the world ends/This is the way the world ends/This is the way the world ends/Not with a bang but a whimper. (These four lines are the final stanza from T.S. Eliot's poem "The Hollow Men".)
    • Alternate versions
      The US DVD by Artisan contains a few uncensored scenes which were edited for the TV release. The back of this DVD lists the run time as 366 minutes but is actually 361 minutes. The US DVD released by Paramount is the edited TV version and runs 2 minutes shorter at 359 minutes. All other DVDs in other regions contain this edited TV version but run times vary only because of NTSC to PAL transfers, not because of any added or deleted scenes.

    The Circle Opens
    The first episode of this mini-series isn't as amazing as it could be. By that does not mean it is bad! You can tell the budget is low, some acting is bad, the quality is low, etc.. But there are some amazing actors in this too. Gary Sinise is great as Stu Redman, Ed Harris was great (and surprisingly uncredited?) Overall I think the casting was great and it is very accurate to the book which I am nearly done reading. Some cuts from this episode include Fran and her mom and parts with Jess. But it's not too important so that's totally fine. I still loved this episode!
