* ArtisticLicenceSpace: All over the place in this episode, but the biggest is easily the Planet Jackers' entire plan. Not only are planets ''tiny'' compared to stars, but stars die either because they run low on hydrogen or, for bigger ones, because heavy elements accumulate in their cores and produce less energy from fusion. If anything, adding more heavy elements from planets would make their sun die sooner.

* PlanetaryRelocation: The title characters attempt to [[HurlItIntoTheSun throw Earth into their dying sun]] in order to sustain it, like kindling to the fireplace. It doesn't seem to occur to them that they could just move their own homeworld around a healthy star instead.

Earth is stolen by the planet jackers, a race of aliens who steal planets and throw them into their sun for kindling. Zim must save the Earth from being destroyed by anyone but him.

! Tropes
* BigNo: When Zim realizes that Earth has been stolen.
* CurbStompBattle: Zim goes head-to-head with the larger Planet Jacker and is promptly beaten to a pulp.
* EyeScream: When Zim and Gir crash into the fake sky that the Planet Jackers are projecting back down to Earth, one of Zim's eyes briefly pops out of his skull. He pops in back in in the next shot.
* ShoutOut
** While Zim is standing at Dib's door, Gir [[Series/KidsInTheHall pretends to crush his head]].
** The Planet Jackers' opening conversation mirrors a similar scene in ''Film/{{Fargo}}.''
