* ArmiesAreEvil: The more militaristic a faction is, the more likely that it (or at least its leader) is antagonistic, even the major in charge of [[HiddenElfVillage Thunder Mountain]] during the initial pandemic. Marcus's flashback shows him implementing quarantine measures with a LackOfEmpathy and when they fail, he flees to the Valhalla Sector and remorselessly becomes their enforcer. Additionally, one of his soldiers spreads the virus into the bunker [[DeathByMaterialism while looting dead bodies outside]].

* WhamShot: The pilot has some hooded monks showing Thunder Mountain scout Simon something that was covered by a tarp. He's horrified, and refuses to tell his companion Colin what it was. A flashback from "Things Left Unsaid Part 1" shows why he got so upset. [[spoiler:The monks showed him the corpses of two victims of the new form of [[TheVirus the Big Death.]] One of the victims was a baby, meaning that the virus —which once spared children—will now kill ''anyone'' who is exposed to it.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The statuses of various {{One Shot Character}}s, allies and enemies alike, are sometimes unclear after their sole episodes. For instance, in "To Sail Beyond the Stars", William is never seen again after he and Kurdy split up while running from the Burners, and in "The Touch", the fate of the murderous WastelandWarlord isn't shown after his people learn of his crimes and turn on him.

* ClosestThingWeGot: Most people handling jobs with any specialized skills are fairly self-taught, given how they were kids when nearly all of the world's adults died. One such example is Reese Davenport from "The Bag", who sells his skills as a doctor. The limited skills he has come from being made to watch his emotionally distant doctor father at work before the Big Death and reading a medical book.
* TheElitesJumpShip: The U.S. government officials who caused the Big Death while trying to make biological weapons promptly fled to one of the only bunkers capable of surviving that as almost all other adults in the world died.
