* AmbiguouslyEvil: The whole situation seems a bit too suspicious to be coincidence. Greta, meanwhile, seems a bit too reluctant to tell Thom the whole truth. The ambiguity only gets stronger after the reveal of ''what'' Greta actually is. It's a horrifying eldritch creature that may or may not have caused the ship to go off course, but why is it so keen on keeping Thom happy?]

* ReallyGetsAround: It really doesn't seem as though Greta was his only "fling", but it sure seems to be his best one. [[spoiler: This is no coincidence.]]

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Despite claims to the contrary, Greta seems motivated solely by a desire to help the crew as best she can, a fact which is further illustrated in the novel where-in her ship was the first to crash. Even the creator of the episode [[https://twitter.com/pmjeepers/status/1118948350672297984 says]] her intentions are good, though due to her alien nature the results may be unintentionally, horrible, but that is more a case of BlueAndOrangeMorality than malice.
