10 Awesome Easter Eggs Hidden In TV Opening Titles

4. All The Safe Combinations - Banshee

As gloriously trashy as Banshee might've been, it also boasted one of the most intriguing persistent Easter eggs across its run.

In addition to the Polaroid images featured in the intro changing every episode according to what's happening to the show's characters, the safe combination which the dial stops spinning at also changes between episodes.

Typically these numbers relate to numerical facts about their given season. For example, the first season's numbers were "42-15-68," which accounted for the 42 deaths in the season, the 15 years the protagonist spent in prison, and the biblical passage Revelation 6:8, which was quoted by one character during the season.

Also, these sequences could be inputted on a now-defunct Banshee website for additional narrative information. Talk about deceptively smart.
