If I could do it again, I would. As long as people feel something, that's the great thing. It's when they are walking around not thinking and not feeling, that's tough. When you get a mob like that, you can turn them into the sort of gang that Hitler had.
—Patrick McGoohan in 1984, on the outrage that followed the series finale

Tropes used in Fall Out include:
- Evolving Credits: The final episode does not include the usual voiceover in which Number Six asks what the Village wants and Number Two replies "Information". This is because it is the second part of a two-episode story, and Number Six finally broke and told Number Two what he wanted to know in 'Once Upon a Time'.
- Mind Screw: Even more so than usual for the series. The gorilla? The missile? The Beatles's music used in the background of the big fight scene? The live rendition of 'Dem Bones'? Decades later, fans still don't know what to make of all of the elements in this episode.
