* CompleteMonster: Vascily Popov, once we find out that [[spoiler: not only did he synthesize the Miranda virus and dupe Daisy into spreading it as far and wide as possible, but he also dug up the body David got his Spanish Flu sample from and left it in the open so that birds could spread the virus and start an epidemic]].

* TheWoobie: Amazingly, Bob Melnikov verges on this several times but never, ''ever'' crosses the line, partly due to good scripts and partly due to great acting.

moving Tear Jerker to the correct subpage


* TearJerker:
** Bob in Season 4 when [[spoiler: Nina is in the hospital after the empathy-augmentation surgery has driven her into a homicidal mania and is now threatening to kill her]]. And Sandström's pained, desperate attempts to comfort him despite their both knowing how slim the odds are that it will end well.
** Also, the whale in season 1.
** Doubling up with a CrowningMomentOfFunny is Sandstrom's talk with [[EllenPage Lilith]] near the end of season 1. "You need to be in a place that you know, with friends that you know... *wince* and with a mom that you know. ...Even if she is fuckin' nuts." David's dialogue provides the CMoF and Lil's reaction the TearJerker.
** The story David tells at his mother's funeral - in particular, the ending.

* ValuesDissonance: For [[YourMileageMayVary some]] American viewers, the tendency for explicitly religious people on the show to be shown as dangerous radicals or otherwise a little nuts is jarring. That said, Carlos describes himself as a man of faith and he is probably the most normal, nice and well-adjusted member of the cast.

* SeasonalRot: The fourth season is not as well-regarded as the first three, thanks to the ''far'' more out-there-speculative main plot (humans have a dormant pheromone-sensing Jacobson's organ, which if activated using a modified Herpes virus can give you what amounts to [[TheEmpath psychic empathy powers]]!), the [[TheScrappy bland and irritating]] character of Nina, the relative CharacterDerailment for Bob, and the [[CutShort lack of a proper resolution]].

* ParanoiaFuel: By the tankful; the series might as well be named ''101 Ways That Modern Biology Will Kill Us All (When It Is Not Too Busy Saving Our Collective Bacon)''.

* ShipTease: Caroline is just about the only woman David has interacted with outside of a strict 'let's solve this epidemic now' context but has still never appeared to be attracted to. In a second-season episode, he has a moment of being suddenly sensitive and nice and then kisses her - except that's a DaydreamSurprise and when we return to reality David is actually being even more of a dick to her than usual. Sorry, Caroline.
