* {{Anvilicious}}: "The Great Banning" - it's message is that SesquipedalianLoquaciousness isn't bad, and that people have the right to act as intelligent as they are. Thankfully, the author was cautious about using this theme in the episode.
** "Permian Safari is Nudist", particularly Kollin's rant near the end.
* AssPull: Characters need to achieve an objective? No problem! Just get one of the numerous devices created by Vegid given to them!
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The alien attack in "Permian Safari is Nudist".
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Of the few readers that the series has, Kollin has proven to be the most popular character.
* GeniusBonus: Too many to list. The author explains most of these in the author's comments.
* JerkassWoobie: Feduciucc. [[spoiler:"Planet Not-Theropod" reveals that he is frustrated with only being known for his unorthodox views in science and not his humanitarian (so to speak) work. In addition, after Djhey breaks him by introducing him to [=BANDits=], he ends up feeling so conflicted about his beliefs that he volunteers to perform a HeroicSacrifice.]]
* {{Squick}}: The tentacles that Jeff actually ''buys''.
** At the end of "Planet Not-Theropod", [[spoiler:Djhey Pterus is described as being a "bloody pool of flesh, feathers and bone". And he's still alive!]]
