Small Details Fans Noticed From Action-Adventure Shows

Interestingly, many shows in this genre actually get creative with small details, with things like references to real-world facts, foreshadowing, and plot connections. There are also instances where certain mistakes may escape notice of the shows' editors and fans on the internet have caught on to these as well.
