I'd love to know more of the real life backstory on PROBE.  Like, who 
decided they needed 3 Probes?  Who decided they needed a goofy back up 
Probe who hadn't completed his training -- I mean, that works for ONE 
mission, not as a format.  What was the deal with Angel Tompkins, who 
appeared a lot less than people remember, finally got a good ep and 
together with Lockwood, and then was never seen again?  And who decided 
to turn on the lights in Probe Control, revealing it to be a tiny dingy 
white brick cellar not nearly as nice as the lobby (hell, didn't they 
own that entire building??) and if they're still alive can I kick them 
in the gonads a few dozen times?
