- TriviaEach episode's title is an anagram, providing part of an ongoing message. The pilot's title, "Woe Has Joined", rearranges to "Who is Jane Doe".
- Goofs(at around 26 mins) The tattoo that was covered up is identified as a Navy SEAL tattoo and it was pointed out that special operations service members would not have fingerprints in the federal database.
The government training that someone goes through is not classified. Their missions might be, but their training is not. Therefore, if someone joined the Navy, or any other branch of the armed forces, there would be a publicly accessible file on them, regardless of what military occupational specialty or duty assignments they may have had and their fingerprints would be in a database accessible by the FBI. Furthermore, to date, there have never been any female Navy SEALs.
Also although Navy personnel (and sailors in general) are notorious for getting tattoos, actual Navy SEALs would not tattoo SEAL imagery on their bodies. Doing so would violate operational security and prohibit them from serving in plainclothes. It would also endanger SEALs made prisoners or hostages and make them subject to abuse or severe interrogation.
- Quotes
[Dr. Borden interviews Jane Doe for the first time]
Jane Doe: I didn't even dream last night. I was really hoping I would, you know? I thought maybe it would... I just... Someone did this to me, took away my whole life, and I can't do anything.
Dr. Borden: I got you a coffee and a tea this morning. Which would you prefer? Well, go ahead. Try them.
Jane Doe: [Jane takes a drink from the left cup of coffee and then the right cup of tea] Uh, I like this one. This one tastes like grass trimmings.
Dr. Borden: There you go. Number one, you remember what grass trimmings taste like. And two, you figured out you're a coffee person. You're not helpless. We're defined by our choices. You just don't remember yours. So, keep trying new things. See what your body remembers. Or make new choices. The more you make, the less helpless you'll feel. Even if nothing ever comes back you can still find yourself.

I think people, including myself, tuned in because of the supposed mystery that surrounded the marketing, and rightfully so. The show looked pretty cool thematically and visually. But it turns out to be rather silly. The FBI are portrayed with a certain amount of ineffectiveness. Not only is there consistently not enough man power in the field, but they bring in the mystery girl out in the field as well. It just doesn't make much sense.
The mystery behind the tattoos is also pretty much revealed in the pilot which is a mystery in and of itself. Because for people like me who thought the 'twist' or the 'answer' was stupid, we now have no reason to come back and watch. So overall it was a pretty lame episode for a likely lame show.
