- TriviaThe aerial shots of the ambulance driving through the mountain road are an obvious nod to Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" featuring similar framing of Jack's VW driving a similar road with a sound-alike music piece reminiscent of Dies Irae composition used during it.
- GoofsWhen Agent Bright charges Henry, she informs of him of his rights by reciting the Police Caution used in the UK. Los Angeles is in the US, not the UK, so she would recite a Miranda Warning.

Featured review
"Don't Ask No Questions, Don't Get No Lies...
Don't Raise No Objections, Ain't Got No Eyes."
Aside from getting a Zero out of 10 score for entertainment value, the problem with an increasing number of shows like this (and Season 4 of "True Detective" as another example), is that they delve into such an abyss that the writers can never find a way out. Meaning no worthwhile resolution is possible.
The only remaining choices for these writers who've painted themselves into a corner are either to attempt, in one fell swoop, to try to give a shorthand explanation of the underlying reason(s) for everything that happened in the previous episodes (à la True Detective) -- unsatisfying at best, laughably poor at worst; or continue to leave everything hanging & unresolved, giving rise to more questions and contradictions -- as was done here. The final shot of episode 8 is a quintessential example of inanity.
Both methods are marks of storytelling amateurs flailing away.
