    Season 1 

Episode Four

  • After the casino manager slaps Five, Two springs into action and singlehandedly demolishes an entire room full of security goons with her bare hands. Crosses over into Tearjerker territory when Two realizes she just murdered a room full of men right in front of a young girl. It puts a serious dent into the trust that Five was building towards Two.

Episode Six

  • An Offscreen Moment of Awesome takes place in Six's memory when we see him just after he has stolen a Galactic Authority destroyer right from under their noses with less than half a dozen men.

Episode Eleven

  • After being spaced and somehow not dying, Two sabotages the ship in a way that forces Wexler to send Vons out onto the hull to repair it. She kills Vons, enters the now-open airlock, and proceeds to retake the ship with a little help from Five while all the male crewmembers are still locked up in the vault.

Episode Twelve

  • The Android breaking into the Dwarf Star Technologies research facility and kicking major ass to save Two, all while suffering from the debilitating effects of a dampening field which is rendering her internal nanites useless and all the male crewmembers are hovering in the sky onboard the Marauder waiting for good news. Once the Android deactivates the field, Two kills her labcoat captors with a bonesaw and she and the Android set off several explosions.

    Season 2 

Kill Them All

  • Five is just wall-to-wall awesome in this one.
    • She calls Chief Inspector Shaddick an "incredible bitch" right to her face.
    • The Title Drop. Five has been brought to the Android in an attempt to force her (at gunpoint) to order the Android to allow access to her memories. Five confirms with the Android that the latter will do anything she asks, then Six cuts the power to her restraints.
    Five: Kill them all.
    • She grabs Three's BFG and uses it twice, the second time interrupting Four's fight with the Ishida envoy sent to retrieve him (Misaki). Even Four was surprised.
  • The crew manages to wrangle several independent escape plots into a single working plan with minimal communication, culminating in their escape from a prison no one's ever escaped from.

We Voted Not To Space You

  • Android (after a personality upgrade) wipes the floor with a mark she planned to kidnap and his two goons. And when the bartender pulls Two Shots from Behind the Bar, the Android draws a pistol and asks "He really means that much to you?"

Wish I'd Spaced You When I Had the Chance

  • Five has been kidnapped and is currently trying to hold her captors at bay with a spoon. One of them mocks her choice of weapon, so she buries it in his ear before kicking his ass.

Sometimes In Life You Don't Get To Choose

  • The Android's Big Damn Heroes moment when she uses the Blink Drive to make the Raza appear right on top of the imperial palace and threatens to lay waste to Zairon's capital if the crew is not returned, saying that she's been instructed to disregard the risk to them that would be caused by bombarding the city.
  • Followed immediately by Five single-handedly rescuing Hiro and thus saving the crew.
    The Empress: Is this all of them?
    The Seer: The entire crew, except the girl. But she's of little consequence.
  • Topped off by Ryo's dark Awesome Moment of Crowning in reclaiming the throne of Zairon as Emperor.

But First, We Save the Galaxy

  • Five showing off her fighting skills against the man who pulled her into a side room (although it turns out to be Three) and cementing her status as a Little Miss Badass.

    Season 3 

Being Better is So Much Harder

Welcome to the Revolution

  • After an entire episode spent trying to prevent violence and find a peaceful solution, Six has finally had enough — and executes the General in front of his own men.

All The Time in the World

  • This is really a crowning episode of awesome for Anthony Lemke as Three. Seriously.
