*** The bugs in general continuously demonstrate that, in spite of humanity's arrogant assumption of superiority, the bugs are better fighters, have superior numbers, and their leaders have far superior intelligence, compared to the humans in this movie. And this is a species that demonstrates no technological advancement whatsoever, to the point that no evidence is even given for how they managed to attain space travel in the first place.

When it's over she hears clapping and looks up to see the rest of the squad, including their hard-nosed veteran commander, acknowledging the show.
* Five Words: Higgins with a Missile Launcher. The timid reporter even manages to nail a Hopper threatening Lieutenant Razak. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfFunny.

* Carl's psychic duel with a Brain Bug, with [[YourHeadAsplode impressive results]].
* Rico and [[ColonelBadass T'Phai]]'s BatmanGambit in "And Then There Were Two", followed by them teaming up against the GiantSpider.
* The episode "D-Day" gives pretty much everyone a [=CMoA=], but special mention goes to T'Phai, for killing three Warrior Bugs...with three bullets. Bear in mind that you normally need to put half a magazine into one of those things to take it down.
** More proof of T'Phai's badassery. In "The Face of Truth", after [[spoiler:he's freed from his Control Bug and the Roughnecks are storming the Xylon mine]], they tell him to sit tight while they handle things. During battle, Lieutenant Razak is hit by constrictor spray. Higgins goes to help him, but a skinny is sneaking up on them from behind. Abruptly, the enemy is zapped with an X-ray blast. The Roughnecks look up to see T'Phai sitting on a ledge above them, holding a gun nonchalantly.
