*** The song itself should get special notice, since it legitimately sounds like a 80's pop song, as well as being a catchy number in and of itself.

Bonus points for pulling off LyricalDissonance too, as [[http://tgwtg.bandcamp.com/track/distraction the words]] are actually quite dark, fitting both a destruction of Krypton and the suicide missions a few producers are undertaking.

** The very fact that eighteen internet personalities with no engineering backgrounds can convert a mid-western split-level (with "borrowed" equipment that was probably not intended for the purpose) into a spaceship capable of reaching [[hottip:Europa :which is a minimum of 600 million kilometers depending on orbits, ]] within days and with a working internet [[hottip:connection :considering that there are parts of the continental US when you cannot be hooked up to an internet service]]. Why haven't they been hired by NASA?

* Todd's Film/{{Robocop}} outfit is impressive and fitting for the character. Even better was its surprise introduction, with no hints about its nature aside from Todd's offscreen assimilation. Not even a trailer appearance.

** Even better is the fact that the crew accidentally ruined the USS Exit Strategy's lasers by putting sugar in them earlier. Luke clearly learned from this and thought ahead to bring some sugar with him.

** Slightly overlapping with CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, Luke still defends his dad after the Executor tries to insult him, saying he's "just as brave" as his father is.

* Critic has come up with a plan to stop the PlotHole, but it is obviously suicidal and quite possibly the stupidest thing that the crew has ever heard: make the hole even bigger. Their reaction to this? [[HeroicSacrifice They immediately begin following his plan, no questions asked and with no concern for the danger to themselves.]]

* A meta one noticed by the cast commentary. When Critic is talking to the Chick about what he wants, Brian mused that his "I want to matter" arc was the thing that most fans said they could identify with. Nice work for a character who was originally conceived to be a Cartman-like caricature.

* This part has one of the most beautiful moments not only of this special but one of the most beautiful moments of all ThatGuyWithTheGlasses history: The training of Luke by Oancitizen, which is shown as a beautiful refleciton about what art really is, and why making a good film ''is'' important, instead of just making movies for the money, how films impact people and ultimately, what a film ''is''. We go from the roots of modern cinema to Michael Bay, it is just a wonderful journey that is a CrowningMomentOfAwesome on its own.
