Adaptational Villainy: Rockwell is a conniving snake in both continuities. But in the game, he initially befriends Helena over their mutual love of science, while in the series, they get off on the wrong foot very quickly.

comment
Plot Armor: Mei Yin is plausibly an even match for Nerva, even with the size difference, as they have both been fighting their entire lives. Helena, on the other hand, is a squishy modern woman with almost zero training in sword fighting, and so should have been killed even more quickly than the Red Shirts. Instead, she holds her own against him for a while and survives.

comment
Artistic License – Paleontology: The series naturally retains the inaccuracies made by the game, but also has a few additional ones which stand out. A Leedsichthys manages to kill a megalodon, even causing it to bleed with a bite. Leedsichthys was a filter-feeding fish with thousands of tiny teeth used for sifting through the water for plankton not unlike a whale shark. The Tyrannosaurus in the series have three-fingered hands, rather than the two-fingered hands both their real and game counterparts had.
