* SpaceWhaleAesop: One episode talks about how spreading rumors is wrong. The catch is that they acted like [[ItMakesSenseInContext photoshopping a pop star's head onto a dinosaur]] is on the same level as lying about them scamming charities.And yes, it's played dead straight, with Buzz [[WhatTheHellHero being chewed out by all his friends]], feeling overwhelming guilt after selling the [[TabloidMelodrama photoshop job to the paparazzi]] and apologizing profusely to the pop star face to face.

** Liam from the first episode of season 2, ''"The World According to Liam"''. Despite his Asperger's Syndrome setting him back a degree, he proves fundamental to solving the episode's mutant bee problem, and even learns the group's [[SecretKeeper secret]]. Yet even though they sit together for lunch at episode's end, he never shows up or gets mentioned again that season. Had he did, he would have no doubt proven further useful in solving various episodes' problems in the future, and in addition, his debut episode's Aesop would have been better reinforced via consistency, and Liam himself would not have had the unfortunate fate of coming off as a mere Aesop plot device (and the show could have used more recurring characters aside from Fiona's sister). Not to mention he was made to be such an extreme exaggeration of autism that he wound up more irritating (especially with his [[MachineMonotone robotic monotone voice]]) than endearing.

** An even better example is Peter. We see him in the first episode, joining Veloci's company willingly and getting an an injection of what's implied to be the same liquid that gave the Dino Squad their powers. His eyes turn into dinosaur eyes. . . and then the scene cuts to the protagonists, and he's never seen again. It would have been interesting to keep him around, not just because it would have given Veloci a henchman who wasn't a faceless goon, but also because it would have given the series a villain with the same powers as the heroes.
