Spoilers/Speculation
dogparent:
SO excited to have a new show over which to kvell and obsess.
I had a thought (a rarity to be sure) on the Little Eiffel tower -- isn't there a theme park in Beijing China called the World? It has all kinds of international landmarks there? There's also one in Japan i think? ???

Yes, it's here and they have a replica of the E.T.--I'm not sure about the scale, though.
I'm having some problems with the coins; if any numistmatists want to chime in, feel free. The first two caps are coin details. Below the eagle (first cap) I think I see the words "twenty dollars" but I'm not sure. I've checked it against double eagles and other common gold coins here (warning: a lot of thumbnails, takes a while to load) but no matches. It shows some similarity to a Mexican gold piece, but no match there either. Since there are a lot of coins (in very good condition) in the video sequence, I'm not discounting the possibility that's it's phony production stuff, but I'll keep looking.

Finally! It took long enough. The magic phrase was a google image search for "honolulu vessel" and up pops the very first hit :doh:: the Hawaii Responder, Pier 35 Honolulu, one of 15 oil-spill vessels working for MSRC. Communications details (morse code, etc.) here (bottom of page). Compare the stack behind the wheelhouse and the ladder next to the helipad.

We have five of the teams starting in Hawaii on an oil rig service something or other. I saw shot of another five teams in the same outward facing circle (looking out to all directions of the compass??) which looks to be in a field with a New England looking farm house in the BG. So if one teams starts off in the most western state, maybe the second bunch starts off in the most eastern state such as Maine. OK, ok, I know Alaska is actually our most Western State with the Aleutian Islands stretching out almost to Asia across the International Date Line so Alaska is actually our most Eastern state as well.
