The plot of one episode revolves around details of a "murder", which is eventually revealed to be a bunch of crows that fell out of the sky and dropped dead during the flashforward. However, we don't actually see them die, only after they're dead, and only as a flashback.

A kangaroo is shown randomly hopping around Los Angeles in the pilot after the global blackout, but presumably was eventually found by the proper people as it is never mentioned again.

One character mentions he was sitting on the toilet at the time of the flashforward, as well as in his vision. However, all that is shown is him reading a newspaper while sitting on the toilet - neither his genitalia nor the contents of the toilet are shown.

In the pilot, there are massive car accidents as a result of everybody on the planet simultaneously losing consciousness. However, the crashes themselves are not shown, only the aftermath.

In the pilot, several crashed planes are shown as a result of everybody blacking out. However, we don't actually see the crash (as everyone is unconscious), only the aftermath.

An evil character who smokes makes a joke about how only evil people smoke on TV nowadays, so naturally the fact that he is smoking means he is evil.

The central premise of the show is that the entire population of Earth simultaneously loses consciousness and experiences a vision of six months in the future. This occurs at the beginning of the pilot and is subsequently referenced numerous times in every episode. A second global blackout occurs in the finale.

One character sees herself being drowned in her flashforward, apparently as punishment for some unspecified deed.
