* Chapter 02 is basically '''HesBack: The Level.''' When the asylum BJ has been staying in is being purged with Anya being hauled off after her parents have been murdered for trying to intervene, he throws off a fourteen-year coma and brain damage ''through sheer rage and hatred for Nazis'', ventilates the officer responsible with a steak knife and proceeds to butcher every Nazi Commando in a RoaringRampageOfRescue.

No meta moment, see this query.


* A meta one for both the writers and for Tekla's voice actor, Carla Tessara. The "consciousness" monologue is golden:
--> "(Surprise, surprise.) You have a brain, a brain is a biological computational device running on electrochemical process. Your consciousness is an emergent property of said process. (A blank face like that of a baby.) In other words: you are electrochemical process. Fundamentally, you have experience of continuous existence. You are you, at this point in time. The same you as you were in the past and... you have sensation of riding along this continuum of being you, into the future. Do you follow me? (Doesn't look like it.) Continuing: On occasion the brain may be subjected to trauma... temporarily discontinuing electrochemical process. Such as a boxer being knocked out. As this occurs, the brain is no longer running. It's electrochemical, consciousness generating, process. Hence consciousness is lost. You lose consciousness. Pay attention now. At this point in time, your consciousness, all that is you... your continuum of being you has caused to exist in the physical world. Now, moments later, the electrochemical process may start up again... allowing consciousness to emerge out of the information stored in the brain. But I wonder. Where are you in the meantime? (No, he's too stupid.) Must we not assume that at the point when consciousness is lost, the person dies? If a new consciousness appears or not in the same brain is entirely inconsequential to the dead consciousness. The new consciousness is simply a new person. Because it emerges from the same brain it has access to all the memories and cognitive structures as the dead consciousness, so it thinks it is the same person. But in actuality it is just an impostor. Inheriting the body and brain from the previous, now dead, inhabitant. Yes? (Like talking to a child.)"

** Credit to Tekla too if you play her side of the story. Despite being a [[NonActionGuy Non-Action Girl]] backed into a corner, she takes out ''eleven'' EliteMooks with a pair of pistols and says she killed seven others earlier. She even has the corpses stacked like firewood. And when she goes down she takes a couple more with her, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness breaking her]] [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre predictive model]].

Added DiffLines:

* There's a moment just before the FinalBoss, but after the [[spoiler:Wyatt/Fergus]] robot. Blazkowicz' final goodbye to his old friend has been said, where Deathshead himself arrives, showcasing his own mighty mechanical fighting machine. Almost immediately, he opens fire on Blazkowicz, but doesn't hit him, because the machine man Blazko just put down is between the two of them, leaving him unharmed. This is awesome for two reasons: One, because [[spoiler:Wyatt or Fergus]] got to [[DyingMomentOfAwesome protect Blazkowicz one last time]], and two, because it makes an amazing metaphor for the blind flaws of the Nazi ideology that Deathshead embraced: killing and destroying, to the exclusion of all else, completely kneecapped by its own hatred.
