  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Ariel lying restrained in a hospital bed under the influence of drugs, babbling to himself, apparently under the impression he's talking to God, despite being an atheist. He insists "if you want me to go old testament, I'll go old testament," presumably meaning his behaviour is going to get much worse, but it doesn't. Once he's out of there, he goes back to normal (for him) and whatever he was talking about is never mentioned again.
  • Ho Yay: Gaines and Scotty explicitly. The ship has been christened Artty.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Fabian McCallum as Spike, five years before he being cast as the Elf Thondir from The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
  • The Scrappy: Spike. Between somehow not picking up on the very obvious signs that antagonising Ariel is an incredibly bad idea, his bordering-on-homophobic jabs at Scotty and Gaines for not doing enough to help his mother (who is only in the situation she's in throughout the series because of Spike's actions), and the fact that up until the last episode, pretty much every scene with him is spent with him either complaining about something or being smug about his hacking abilities...it's not all that surprising he tends to be the least popular of the main characters.
