Thanks for the edits. Really makes it read smoother.

There are discrepancies in the span between the first appearance of the Beforeigners and the title card. On the first day of the story, Lars has signed for a house with his pregnant wife. The Beforeigners arrive that day. Then the title card cuts to "A few years later..." But now (present day) Lars's *only* child is now 18, graduating high school. So *exactly* 18 years have passed. Further, Alf was fished out of the bay (in the past) around age 5. Now she's something like 23? So, again, 18-ish years. Even further, she lived as an adult for years in the past, achieving the rank of shield-maiden, then time-migrated, and has been around long enough to learn the language, know how to drive a car and work computers, and graduate from the police academy. That's a busy life.

Another discrepancy. In the pilot, a newscaster says the time migrants are popping up as a worldwide phenomenon. But in the final episode, we learn there's only one time hole, and it's in the Norwegian bay, and the government likely scienced it up as an experiment, and are fighting to cover it up.

I figure the discrepancies are because the pilot didn't have all the details exactly lined up, and didn't go back and correct them. Clay Emery — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clayton Emery (talkcontribs) 02:07, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

83.145.208.115 (talk) added these to the article, I've moved them here instead.

These can probably be included in the article, provided they are invoked in a more appropriate manner. Gabbe (talk) 11:15, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
