* AlienLunch: Moclans enjoy a "beverage" called opsada that grows into a parasite when ingested. It has the consistency of liquid chocolate, though Ed refers to it as "poo". It apparently is not meant to be excreted, but Ed learns the hard way that, in humans, it can.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The Valondis of the 14th century styled church, once Kelly reveals herself and explains her apparent miracle was just advanced technology, is understandably very shaken as his faith was honest. But he does understand the situation and agrees the people should know the truth. Unfortunately, his power hungry minister kills him before the Valondis can reveal it to the masses.

* OffScreenMomentOfAwesome: We are given only a hint of Issac's activities -- and, potentially, his impact on the world's society -- during his 700 years taking TheSlowPath. According to him, it's less than you'd think; they got used to him fairly quickly, and worked out their problems on their own.
