Notes
|
| The President is Barack Obama. |
Obama is the President-elect in real-life. |
- The President is seen in office in April 2007.
- + The timeline is purposefully made unclear, and it could be a vague "present" era.
- - The episode aired while George W. Bush is still the real world U.S. President.
- Aside from skin color, the President shares very few facial similarities with Obama.
- It seems more likely that the President was intended to be a nod to Barack Obama, but not actually be him.
- I believe his first appearance was filmed before the election, thus there was no way of knowing that he would be the president.
- + They could have filmed two versions, one with a white and one with a black president.
- - Greg Beeman states in his blog that Tim Kring really wanted to cast an African-American in the role, which implies that this version with Michael Dorn was the only one that was ever filmed.
+ The President spoke with a similar accent to Barack Obama.
- - Again, if people with the same accent were related there would be alot more relatives in the world.
|
| The President is an evolved human. |
None. |
+ He is not noticeably surprised by Nathan's revelations.
- - He may just be aware, in his high-clearance position, of things the modern public is not aware of.
- This would make for a tired, cliched, and somewhat predictable plot twist.
