1 | '''Basic Trope''': An unexplained phenomenon used as a major plot point IN SPACE! |
2 | * '''Straight''': The Starship ''Future Hope'' is sucked into a [[UnrealisticBlackHole "black hole"]]. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': The black hole is, in fact, [[OurWormholesAreDifferent a wormhole to another dimension]]. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': A previously unknown phenomenon [[TheRadioDiesFirst knocks out communications]] for a few minutes, so ''Future Hope'' does not get an important update. |
5 | * '''Justified''': All sorts of weird things can happen in an unfamiliar environment such as outer space |
6 | * '''Inverted''': |
7 | ** Being sucked into the black hole is a BigLippedAlligatorMoment, not a major plot point. |
8 | ** The StarTrekShake inducing plot point is something a little less...out there. |
9 | * '''Subverted''': The crew manages to pull the ship out of the gravitational pull of the black hole. |
10 | * '''Double Subverted''': Only to wind up in a tailspin and crash land on a WorldOfWeirdness. |
11 | * '''Parodied''': A road sign near the black hole reads, "Major Plot Point Ahead!" |
12 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Sometimes these events are major plot points, sometimes minor or side plot points, sometimes a BigLippedAlligatorMoment, sometimes not used at all. |
13 | * '''Averted''': Plot points are things like BlackAndWhiteMorality and other more "mundane" plot points. |
14 | * '''Enforced''': "You know, a lot of stuff can happen in space that just can't happen in any other setting..." |
15 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Captain, we're being...sucked into...some sort of cosmic void..." |
16 | * '''Invoked''': Someone challenges the authority of TheCaptain, causing the crew to veer off course when they aren't paying attention. |
17 | * '''Exploited''': SpacePirates take advantage of the crew's diverted attention toward the problem at hand to sabotage the laboratory. |
18 | * '''Defied''': |
19 | ** The writers choose to stick to more mundane plots. |
20 | ** The crew never gets lost or sucked into black holes, always avoiding them well in advance. |
21 | * '''Discussed''': "There's a black hole ahead, but we can avoid it by going into hyperspace, Captain." |
22 | * '''Conversed''': "Why are these people always getting sucked into black holes?" |
23 | * '''Played For Laughs''': The black hole is, in fact, someone's overpowered [[WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife vacuum cleaner]]. |
