This fanfic contains examples of the following tropes:

  • And I Must Scream: What Rhadamanthys subjects his host, Luis, to - being devoured alive by fire ants that sound like all the girls he's brutally murdered.
  • Asshole Victim: Rhadamanthys usually selected criminals who had committed grave sins as his hosts. The host would be mentally tortured for their crimes, both satisfying Rhadamanthys' sense of justice and allowing him to satisfy the sadistic side of his Goa'uld nature discretely.
  • Bilingual Dialogue: Between a Repliclank Prime and anyone else.
  • Blade Below the Shoulder: The Jaffaclank has a buzzsaw in its forearm.
  • But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Hilariously lampshaded.
    Agatha shrugged. "Great. So I'm lost in an alternate world, an alien overlord wants me as his Daedelus, and the fate of the Earth depends on my work. No pressure!"
    "Definitely Tuesday." Samantha grinned. "Agatha? Believe it or not, this is where it gets fun."
  • Call-Forward: Jacob to Sam: "Did you blow up a planet yet?"
  • Celebrity Paradox:
    "I've already received spec proposals for ad campaigns," Brian continued, brandishing several folders. "Chiat/Day definitely wants in on this one."
    "Why not Phil and Kaja?" Alec said. "I saw some doodles Phil did when I stopped by his booth at Norwescon. They'd fit Agatha's style to a T."
    "They're independent comic book artists," Brian said. "They can't handle a national advertising campaign."
  • Fun with Acronyms: Mk II "Military Assault Xenomorph Infantry Mechanism".
  • Groin Attack: '"If a Jaffa male strays," Teal'c said grimly, "and comes to his wife with the belief that he may be with her without consequence? He knows that the knife is always hidden somewhere. And Jaffa women are very adept at wielding it."'
  • Headdesk: Daniel's first reaction to snaked Jack.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: The general result of the Heterodyne Boys confronting villains.
  • I'll Pretend I Didn't Hear That: Teal'c about Agatha planning to suborn the telecommunications grid.
  • Missing Steps Plan: The "grand plan of Sparks".
    Step One: Epiphany
    Step Two: Brilliant invention based on principles forbidden to God and Man
    Step Three: ?????
    Step Four: SCIENCE! and the groveling of your detractors at your boots.
  • Mushroom Samba: Daniel turns into an uber-hippy after drinking coffee from Agatha's coffee engine.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Agatha's reaction after destroying her own locket sinks in, and later, when she learns of what happened in the fallout of her building her jetpack.
  • My Little Panzer: Agatha models a Ha'tak converted into an amusement park that retains its firepower.
  • Naked People Are Funny: Daniel strips while under the influence of Agatha's coffee - something that other people on the base don't let him live down.
