* ShoutOut: Harvey is channeling UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein in a heavy German accent, but when mentioning "ZA VORMHOLE VEAPON!" his arm lifts up in a Nazi salute before being yanked down in embarrassment. [[TheNicknamer Crichton of course]] immediately dubs Harvey [[Film/DrStrangelove "Strangelove"]].

* InsignificantLittleBluePlanet: Peacekeepers are descended from TransplantedHumans because Earth was so far out of the way and primitive that none of the relevant species had even heard of humans before. This complete lack of importance made the newly organized Peacekeepers seen as impartial and fair.



* NeckSnap: How Staleek kills the doctor that was going to finish Rygel and the baby.



* NoodleIncident: Yondalao says the Eidolons spent a great deal of time searching for a species with no ties to the others that could effectively be their peacekeeping force. They eventually came upon an InsignificantLittleBluePlanet on the outer spiral of the galaxy and made contact with the locals.



* PragmaticVillainy: Staleek couldn't care less about Rygel and the baby, but he foils Akhna's assassination attempt, as such an action would've destroyed his credibility and any chance of making a deal later.



* SkewedPriorities: Akhna is quite content to execute their prisoners and be done with it (specifically citing how Scorpius has already put one over on them in the past), but Staleek counters that Scorpius's position in the Peacekeepers means a wealth of intel that would be quite valuable during a war. He also notes how Aeryn's history as a pilot could also provide information.
* TeamSwitzerland: The reason the Eidolons opted for TransplantedHumans is because they knew using one of the known species in the region as their muscle would undermine any negotiations, creating distrust and allegations of favoritism. A species no one had ever fought or even seen before would be seen as impartial and trustworthy. According to Yondalao, the original force was held in high regard back in his day and enforced agreements to the letter.



* WeddingSmashers: To the point where it becomes a RunningGag. Every time John and Aeryn try to tie the knot, someone attacks them.

* WhamLine: Being 12,000 years out of step, Yondalao wants to take time to examine the situation rather than rush into anything. Stark starts wigging out in response to this, prompting a line directed at Crichton and Aeryn.
