* AngstWhatAngst: The Frigg explains the rite to return the gods to Asgard, including the part where her brother [[KilledOffForReal actually dies]]. She all but shrugs when asked about it, and simply says he knew what would happen to him. After the rite she happily pairs off with her true love, and no mention of her brother's death is made.

unfortunate implications need citations


* UnfortunateImplications: Anders's powers of persuasion bear a remarkable resemblance to date rape, especially when some of his "conquests" talk about not even knowing why they agreed to sleep with him. It's hard to tell how much of this subtext is intentional--Anders is portrayed as a dick for using his powers the way he does, but it's never really taken to the logical conclusion.

* FridgeBrilliance: in mythology, [[DarkIsNotEvil Hel]] is depicted as half her body being alive and the other half skeletal or decaying. In season 2, [[spoiler: Eva as Hel]] is depicted as almost having two different personalities at times.
* FridgeHorror: [[spoiler:After the gods ascend to Asgard, Gaia is alone in London with nobody knowing who she is. Suzy, who was the host to Saga, is in the same boat and doesn't even know ''why'', as are any other god-hosts who don't know their situation.]]



* TearJerker: Eva expressing sorrow over her inability to control herself, [[spoiler: which occurs shortly before her death.]] She used to be a regular girl who wrote sad songs before she found out she was a goddess.
** [[spoiler: Dawn post-Agar. There aren't any words said, but you can just ''tell'' how depressed she is over losing someone she doesn't even remember.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Season three seems to be hit-or-miss with a lot of the show's fans, mainly due to the fact that some major plot elements - [[spoiler: the Godhunters, Gaia becoming Idunn and subsequent strain in Axl and Anders' relationship]] - are introduced and dropped fairly quickly with little or no fanfare.

** Amongst the secondary characters, Dawn, Anders's assistant, who always ends up cleaning up after his literal and figurative messes. Delphine could also be considered one for being the daughter of Derrick/Thor and for breaking down into tears when Axl gets annoyed with her.
