* CreatorBacklash: Sort of. The tirade against the alternate plot under WhatCouldHaveBeen was written by the author himself.
* DevelopmentHell: The author had an episode in the works for January 2013, but hasn't worked on it for ages. Eventually he decided to shelve it and rewrite it another time.
* FollowTheLeader: The author has admitted the idea for a [[http://palaeohno.tumblr.com/ Tumblr blog]] was inspired by Webcomic/{{Raptormaniacs}}.
* ShrugOfGod: Whether or not [[spoiler:Feduciucc died]] at the end of "Planet Not-Theropod".
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The author's original idea to conclude "Rise of the Maniraptors" invoked lots bizarre OutOfCharacter moments. It basically involved Vegid suddenly wanting to kill the sea scorpions and fish]], with Sampson and her [[ConflictBall getting into an argument]] about timeline altering and what is humane, with Kollin joining in the fight complaining how much of a {{Jerkass}} she is. Then, seeing the maniraptors as aliens, the scorpion and fish armies decided to team up to destroy the invaders, while they are still arguing. Eveeryone but Lora tries to break up the fight, with her having a [[HeroicBSOD breakdown]] from the stressful events. They return to the present, with Vegid still being a {{Jerkass}}, decides to [[FantasticRacism use the Silurian creatures as experiments]]. Cyryl then explains her behaviour, then they leave. Jeff meets [[spoiler: Rob like in the final version]], but he gets ignored with nobody remarking about what they learn about Jeff, and Lora runs away realising that Sampson isn't [[OutOfCharacter helping her in her stressed state]]. Thankfully, the author came up with a better conclusion than this.
** Apparently the second part of "Planet Not-Theropod" was originally going to involve a parody of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls''.
