• The Universal Backlot was the real home of this Cork, Ireland set.

• The rear of the van was mounted on a bearing to allow the van to pivot. A tow vehicle was used to pull the front of the van, which on the bearing, could turn on axis into the steps.

Notes

• As with those for the previous episodes of Season Two, The Heroes Interactive for Kindred was accompanied by a character map, which was essentially a portal of photos and season one histories for each of the characters.
• Heroes Interactive incorrectly stated that Claire's first kiss was with West. Claire is seen kissing Brody in One Giant Leap.
