Trivia
The filming of some of the CTY Industries segments were shot at the Plaza of the Nations in Vancouver, BC. The sign can be seen when the chase is occurring outside the lab building toward the dock outside.

Goofs
Jack tells Trenton that Izzie wants to finish her law degree before they have children. However, she later passes the bar, meaning that she would have already had a law degree.

Quotes
[last lines]
The Control Voice: Time is a river, winding steadily through the landscape of tomorrow. There are those who would steal a glimpse around the next bend and those who would fight the current, but the wisest are those who turn their eyes from the waters and seek out a fellow traveler to share in the journey.

Getting...better?

Although the story still isn't all that great, at least they don't completely waste their two leads - Josh Brolin and David Warner, both of whom are really good here, even if David Warner is leaning hard into his typecasting as a shifty businessman. The story itself is very Stephen King's The Dead Zone with the twist of a VR Project that can see the possible future rather than someone with tactile clairvoyance.

While the story could easily have been filled out to feature length without risking too much, they did pretty good in filling up an episode of this series.

Honestly, though, I'm starting to wonder if nostalgia isn't doing a LOT of heavy lifting in my favourable memories of this show.
