* HateSink: Victor Brown is slowly but certainly evolving in this, losing any whatsoever redeeming qualities. [[spoiler: First, it would be easy to empathize with his plight of being dragged screaming into an intergalactic war with his family as hostages, and made into a puppet, then forced to watch as the whole planet is seemingly destroyed and the human race down to a hundred specimens, and regard his irrational hatred of Nick as a coping mechanism. But then it becomes harder to forgive the escalation in his behavior: first he refuses to take part in the search effort, then he outright sabotages the [=MuTEX=] because he is convinced that it's all fake and they're doomed anyways, running the risk of stranding a crew in another dimension, and it all comes to a climax as he tries to make good on his initial threat and shove Nick out of an airlock, and when called upon it by Trudy, his best answer is to use the B-word and say it's none of her business.]]

* ForWantOfANail: Many of the Nega-verse counterparts in To Thine Own Self became different people from their primary universe counterparts as a result of a single event happening differently. The world goes on a different course because Nick and Ki decided to take over the world.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Fred taking control of Trent's body, forcing him to sexually harass Sharon, go into a meeting with a client only wearing a tablecloth, and go outside and get arrested for indecent exposure would come off as much worse if Trent wasn't a jerk without any redeeming qualities.

* PlugNPlayTechnology: While the grays say their system is largly incompatible with Earth computers and that a software interface would be incredibly complex (with their programming language in Base 3), Fooker is tasked with setting one up.
