Other mistake: Captain Eureka losing his finger makes absolutely no sense. He doesn't cry out in pain, there's no blood, and where the finger ended up is completely illogical. The finger didn't just sever on its own; it's shown that severing only occurs when passing through objects. Captain Eureka goes through a wall that is a good fifteen feet away from where the finger is discovered, and it is implausible to think it could have rolled there on its own.

Plot hole: Carter is apparently just learning about Feynman's Day, which Allison explains as "Eureka's version of April Fool's Day." It's highly improbable that Carter could have lived in Eureka for five years and still be oblivious of this, especially given all of the hijinks that happen.
Marshall Jack Carter: Let's not shoot the crazy end-of-the-world machine just yet.
Trivia: When Allison and Jack are talking about their relationship and marriage is mentioned, Allison says "is it so inconceivable?" This episode features Wallace Shawn (as Dr. Hughes). Shawn starred in "The Princess Bride" where his character was known for saying "inconceivable."
Question: When Jack and Jason go to talk to Todd about MACAA, Todd tells them that they destroyed it in Section 14 pit followed by a nuclear explosion. If it was destroyed, where did the version that is missing from the shelves come from?
