[edit] Spoiler
Regarding this subject under the spoiler section:
- "The show’s final episode revealed that Digger, one of John’s closest friends, was in fact a mole and the true leader of the Phoenix Organization.[citation needed]"
Citation needed? Such information is revealed in the last episode. How much more of a citation do you need?
I'm going to remove the "citation needed" bit, unless someone feels the need to argue the factual outcome of the final episode. 199.101.11.104 17:56, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, I don't think it indicated anything so conclusively. It could have been a masked man, a clone, a twin... it was a cliffhanger ending, so we don't know how the situation would have played out. Stick an "apparently" or something like that in there and it would be better, I think? Шизомби 01:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Continuity Errors
Would it be appropriate to place continuity errors on this wiki page? I've noticed quite a few... one of the more convoluted ones (of which I'm quite proud) is thus:
1. In Idaho, John Doe appears in a fake America's Most Wanted segment in which he asks the viewers if they can identify him; one of the memories he mentions that he has is that the song My Funny Valentine means something to him. This little fact was not mentioned at all previously in the series.
2. At the end of Idaho, rather traumatic events prompt John Doe to go on a vacation, leading to Manifest Destiny. In this episode, he meets Rache Penbroke.
3. In the middle of Tone Dead, John Doe is apparently inspired by the musical theme of the episode to find out if any songs trigger recollections. He discovers that My Funny Valentine reminds him of the smell of ragweed.
This is a rather deranged error, and frankly it cannot be explained away by saying that the episodes were not aired in order; he discovers that My Funny Valentine means something to him as a direct cause of stating on public television that My Funny Valentine means something to him. 12.107.17.179 04:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- The song My Funny Valentine is the song he first starts playing on the piano in the pilot episode. His inner dialog suggests "It's one thing to know the notes, it's another thing to feel them. Like they know you, like from something before, piercing through. A memory. A beginning. A place to start." ~enjerth 209.181.152.98 05:56, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Colorblind
Something that is not mentioned at all in this article is the fact that John Doe was colourblind. On the other hand, he could see only a few people in colour, and he assumes that those people have something to do with his past. Maybe someone could add something about it.

[edit] Missing time
Along with being colorblind he also has periods of "missing time" especially in the early episodes. He goes on automatic still walking around and talking but not aware and wakes up hours later.
[edit] Mike Thompson
I deleted the brackets linking the producer to someone who is obviously a different person but just happens to share the same name. W.C. 11:58, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
