* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Captain Quasar was disliked for the fact that he mainly shows up in unfunny {{Cutaway Gag}}s that have ''nothing'' to do with the episode, and he has no defined personality besides being a bit of a {{jerkass}}. This episode [[SalvagedStory salvaged the concept]] by giving Quasar a main role, portraying him as more sympathetic and involving him in a plot with more characters.
* SalvagedStory: The Quasar and Pat-Tron segments get a major revamp in this episode through both characters' recharacterization. Quasar goes from being an obnoxious MilesGloriosus to a more emotional and dramatic FishOutOfWater compared to Pat-Tron's family, making his character more entertaining and sympathetic. With most of the conflict focusing on Quasar's misguided attempts to impress one of Pat-Tron's relatives, Pat-Tron's LethallyStupid nature is dialed down. While he does cause trouble at the start, he's mostly out of the story after it and even manages to save Quasar in the end. It also helps that their appearance is the main story this time around, rather than being {{padding}} to a completely unrelated one. In the end, the episode did a lot to [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap redeem both characters]] for most fans.

Captain Quasar was disliked for the fact that he mainly shows up in unfunny {{Cutaway Gag}}s that have ''nothing'' to do with the episode, and he has no defined personality besides being a bit of a {{jerkass}}. This episode "Blorpsgiving" [[SalvagedStory salvaged the concept]] by giving Quasar a main role, portraying him as more sympathetic and involving him in a plot with more characters.
** In the old crew episodes, Pat-Tron is just an [[LethallyStupid irredeemable moron who actively endangers Quasar in all of his appearances]], while refusing to admit that he's doing anything wrong. "Blorpsgiving" dials down his stupidity in the second half, has Quasar confide in him more, and even has Pat-Tron come to his rescue in the end. Notably, the end of the episode is the first time Quasar has said ''anything'' nice about Pat-Tron.
