Trivia
At about the 55 minute mark, you may notice that the billiard balls are arranged as the Alaska flag. 'Big dipper' and north star.

Goofs
Clark said that they obtained the DNA of the microorganism in the permafrost and that they had "Cracked it." (i.e., figured out how it could be used). However, he and his team continued to drill for more. This is unnecessary. If you have a sample of a microorganism, you can grow lots of in culture. Alternatively, if the cells were not viable, their DNA can be 'amplified' (artificially replicated in vitro). There was no need to keep drilling for more or polluting the water supplies.

Disappointing end... did not stick the landing

My wife and I really enjoyed episodes 1 to 5. Great characters, great mystery. But the conclusion just felt weak. The Navarro conclusion was okay although unnecessarily ambiguous. The conclusion to the main mystery was unsatisfying. Without adding spoilers, it seemed out of the blue and unsupported by earlier episodes, the sort of ending a hack writer tosses in at the end when they have to tie things up rather than something the writers knew was the underlying solution from the beginning.

Overall, very disappointing. 7 for the Navarro ending. 3 for the main plot. 5 overall.

Loved all the characters though. Wished they had a better finale.
