- Be Careful What You Wish For: Played with. When Ro snarks that the spacies' wish of free space travel is as likely as her getting a life-time supply of chocolate, Zee offers that with his unlimited credit card, he could indeed buy it. ...before she cuts in with a carefully worded "Not all at once". Ro at least recognizes it would be too much of a good thing.
- New-Age Retro Hippie: Spacies are a kind of hippies who believe that space travel should be free.
- Shout-Out: The Spacies believe Zeta is an alien. "He's gotta phone home, man!"
- Small Role, Big Impact: Dr. Nelson Arroyo identifies Dr. Eli Selig as the one who can convince the NSA that Zeta really doesn't want to kill anymore and starts the story arc where Zeta and Ro look for Selig.
- Take That!: While pretending to be a Spacie, Ro chants "We're too bizarre, our brains are on Mars".
