- TriviaThe steampunk taser crossbow was designed by MythBusters (2003) Adam Savage. At the end of production, Max Landis sent him a hero prop version as payment.
- GoofsThe soldier character Hugo Friedkin is repeatedly addressed as Corporal, yet referred to as Sergeant in the credits. His uniform looks more like a Captain, with appropriate captain's bars, which would be more suitable for the authority position which he obtains as the series goes on.
Featured review
I will keep this short. You should watch this because is is sharp, funny, well written, well acted and engaging on many levels. Yes - I know it's nothing like the books. BBC UK tried that and it failed. Nobody has ever come close to doing Douglas Adams justice on screen because the insane intricacy and sheer scale of his stories make it impossible. BBC America has been very clever. They have taken the core concept and characters and done something utterly different with it. It is its own thing and stands on its own merits, which are many. If you are a person who gets terribly upset when a script is not faithful to the source material down to the last semi-colon, this show will make your brain implode. If, like me, you can let go of those expectations and enjoy what it is, rather than what you would like it to be, you might just enjoy it as much as I do. I love the books too and if I want the books, I read the books. This is a TV show and a pretty damn good one. If you can't separate the two, this is not for you. Try the UK version - but it ain't half as much fun.
