* GrandFinale: "Stalemate". Bohdi Li faces the Warlord of Arr and destroys him for good with a laser blast powered up by being channeled through his signal ring. Without the Warlord's power to sustain them, his minions disappear, apparently for good. Both sides charged the crystal at the same time, though, and the episode ends on the heroes reflecting that even though they defeated the Arrians for good, there's no such thing as light without darkness and they'll always have to be watchful for new enemies.

* InsertSong: Action sequences tended to have a recent popular song playing over them, even if they were wildly inappropriate for sci-fi laser battles ("[[Music/MichaelJackson Don't Stop Till You Get Enough]]"?). The first episode alone had "Footloose," and "Sussudio" by Music/PhilCollins.

* InformedAttribute: Mandarr was actually a Photon Warrior from Earth who was captured and brainwashed into service by the Arrians, and Bhodi/Chris really looks up to him and wants to bring him back into the light. It's a pity only one episode does anything with this and the rest just treat Mandarr as a bad guy with a name, since it's easily one of the most effective episodes of the show.

* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Disturbingly, one episode ("Think Quick") reveals that Soldarrs are actually brainwashed inhabitants of conquered planets. Nothing is ever said about them disappearing back to the fortress when they die, making it even worse.
