* VillainsActHeroesReact: The Terran Federation is conflicted by rebellion and civil war, a prime opportunity for forging alliances with some of these rebels or breakaway factions to oppose Servalan. Yet the crew is going along with Avon's quest for personal vengeance because they're bored and there's nothing else to do. Meanwhile Servalan is working to establish a dynasty and increase her [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority strength and authority]] by seizing the Liberator. According to the next episode, there's a rebellion brewing on Earth that will be quashed because of Servalan's quick response in mustering her forces, without any opposition from the Liberator. One can't help thinking that our heroes lost their drive along with Blake.

* ClonesArePeopleTooClonesArePeopleToo: Averted with probably the most casual and realistic treatment of this trope in any SpaceOpera. Cally and her sister Zelda are depicted just like real-world natural twins, independent individuals with their own personalities and motivations who just happen to look identical. The episode does, however, depict one hard-SF big disadvantage of large-scale cloning -- lack of genetic variation leading to lack of disease resistance and vulnerability to epidemics.
