These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
An example of his onscreen cruelty, when he tried to kill Rod's mother by tossing her out into space, he only delayed because he was trying to decide between a fast but likely painful death by decompression, or a quicker and likely even MORE painful death by dropping her in a black hole!
Surprisingly Improved Sequel: Aliens Ate My Homework' is a great, stand-alone young adult sci-fi story. After finishing it, you might not even realize there are three more books. But those three books introduce the ultimate story arc of BKR's master plan, and adds in a lot of character development and surprising revelations that manage to outshine the original story.
Ho Yay: Grakker and Snout share a room, become very emotional when the other gets hurt, and at one point Snout (who does have telepathic powers) mentions that he is "bonded" to Grakker and is thus able to pinpoint his location. It becomes even more obvious when one realizes that they are blatant Kirk/Spock expies.
