* CompleteImmortality: Saint-Germain is heavily implied to be this. In Episode 9 his car explodes with him in it, and he shows up later completely unharmed, while Episode 10 shows that he's over 1,000 years old.



* DeadlyPrank: In episode 6, some researchers at a remote lab in Alaska haze a new recruit by telling him he's eating meat from a dead alien. He goes nuts and kills them all. Even worse, he thinks eating the meat caused him to become an alien himself and he tries to side with them against humanity, calling them his real family. An alien kills him right after he frees it from containment.

* HiddenBuxom: ''Possibly.'' When Sio was in training with Robert Capa, he made a number of mirror-image clones of Sio and tried to provoke her by unzipping one of the clone's track jackets, whereupon the clone was revealed to have a healthy D-cup. Later he uses the clones to do a fake photo shoot of Sio in a bikini for the soldiers and some helpful footnotes remark that the pictures were photoshopped, so it's unclear as to whether Capa was sincerely just screwing with her or if she's really hiding something underneath her usual attire.
