* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: A handful of major characters have been KilledOffForReal over the course of the series, but when [[spoiler:Allison is killed in the Season 4 midseason finale mere feet away from a TimeMachine, it's no mystery that Jack is going to wind up back in time and SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong.]]

Evil Is Sexy TRS; this has become an objective, in-universe trope.


* EvilIsSexy: Beverly Barlowe. The town's therapist, played by the lovely Deborah Fiorentino, who channels a cool, aloof sexuality. Even [[AmbiguouslyGay Vincent]] admits he's thought about making a pass at her.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The end of the first episode of Season 2, ''Phoenix Rising'' sees Henry stating how Jack is now living in a timeline where he and Alison won't be together or meet the child they were having. Come the series finale, not only are Carter and Alison married but are expecting meaning that he '''will''' get to meet that child afterall!

** Nathan coming back from the dead in "The Ex Files". Since he is ultimately revealed as an illusion in Jack's head, Nathan is not able to interact with any other characters, most notably Allison (his former fiancé) and Fargo (who wound up with Nathan's old job).

* HarsherInHindsight: Henry’s and Beverly conversation in "Force Quit" is a lot harsher once we find out that that timeline's Henry used to work with her

* BrokenBase: The new timeline in season 4. Some of the fandom enjoy the fact they're strangers in a strange land, while others pointed that several relationships get StrangledByTheRedString (Jo/New!Zane, Henry/New!Grace), and the question that, if the last 4 years have been effectively retconned, why should we even ''care'' about these alternate timeline inhabitants, because it's not ''our'' Eureka anymore?

* FriendlyFandoms:
** With ''Series/Warehouse13'' and ''Series/{{Alphas}}'', thanks to the SharedUniverse.
** A minor case with ''Series/{{Fringe}}'' thanks to the odd StoryArc parallels in the later seasons. Both shows focus on an AlternateTimeline in Season 4 and begin Season 5 with a TimeSkip to a BadFuture.

Added DiffLines:

* AuthorsSavingThrow: A minor example, but after Kim's death characters still refer to her by her married name, Kim Anderson, for the first two seasons. Given her husband was a villain who used LaserGuidedAmnesia to manipulate and exploit her for years, it's unlikely she would want to keep his name. When a clone of Kim returns in Season 3, the character is given a maiden name to be referred to by, Kim Yamazaki.

** Carter's gleeful reaction when he learns that someone robbed a bank so he won't have to deal with any {{Technobabble}} in "Up In The Air", and TheReveal of what actually happened shortly after.

* GrowingTheBeard: While the first season is still well-liked, the show was definitely finding its footing. Stark and SARAH are absent from the pilot, the first few episodes tease that Beverly is involved in some nebulous evil conspiracy before essentially dropping her from the show until the season finale, it takes several episodes to get the ball rolling on the MythArc involving the Artifact, and Fargo and Jo (who would both go on to have significant CharacterDevelopment in later seasons) are fairly one-note side characters.

* Anvilicious: "Blink", the DrugsAreBad episode that thoroughly hammers in the point that schools and corporations may tacitly encourage people to turn to drugs to cope with the pressure to succeed, but at the end of the day doing drugs is ''never'' ok and anyone who does is a villain.
