** Jason's InUniverse CreatorBreakdown early in the film. To see a jovial-if-arrogant star who at first seems to embrace the fandom in contrast to his less-enthusiastic co-stars, has [[DespairEventHorizon his positive outlook shattered]] after listening to the gossip of two non-fans about the negative effects of the show's fandom and how it tainted the actors' careers (which is sadly revealed to be not completely unfounded), then lash out at his fans. He even eventually [[DrowningMySorrows succumbs to alcoholism]] at his own home as he pathetically tries to find his comfort zone again, even watching old episodes of his show. Jason was probably thinking "IWishItWereReal" for his ''Galaxy Quest'' television fame to be really worthwhile. And eventually it does for him when he realizes how his show inspired an alien race to turn it into a real experience, thus making him as giddy as a child when his dream comes true, allowing him to gladly [[BecomingTheMask embrace his television role for real]].
