* While Alan is frustrated at how Archer has inconvenienced him thus far, he quickly changes his tune and brightens a bit when Archer clues him in that the Commandos attacking him can only mean the gorgonites were ''not'' destroyed.

* The scene with Archer [[MundaneMadeAwesome looking through Alan's computer]]. The music score itself encapsulates how precious knowledge and learning are for the Gorgonites.
** One image of the Yellowstone Park gives him pause, as it bears a striking resemblance to the Gorgonites' homeland. Archer is in awe that finding his homeland is indeed a possibility.



* While Christy and her brother bicker, she does look genuinely upset when Alan tells her that the toys she came to buy for him are gone.

* In an odd way, the implications that all of the other Commando Elite besides the ones at the local warehouse will be repurposed for actual military missions at the end, giving them a chance at a nobler path than just continuing their pointless, one-sided war against the Gorgonites or being deactivated for something that isn't really their fault.
** Generally, in his greedy own way, Gil Mars recommending Larry get in touch with the Military, as he sees he has potential to apply his talent elsewhere. In a different movie, he would've fired Larry for creating the whole mess in the process. Instead, he simply points Larry in the right direction.

* During the scene where Alan and Archer find the Gorgonites, Archer basically introduces them each. Slamfist is the first to exclaim how their leader is still alive. When it comes down to Insaniac, Alan gives a bemused smile, as though already open-minded to his nuance.
