History Recap / FilmRerollGalaxyQuest

* HereWeGoAgain: When Jason is trying to get Broms to understand that her creators wanted to to give her charges what ''they'' wanted, not what ''she'' thinks they wanted, Jon announces that Jason suddenly finds himself [[RunningGag in his bathtub]][[note]]in reality, it's a near-perfect replication, with the colors brighter, and the sensations more potent[[/note]].

** When Joz admits she was hoping the costume Gwen found for Sir Alexander to get him back into the play was a giant [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Nana]] costume[[note]]and that, given they play they are performing is a Carol Churchill work, it could be a ''talking'' dog[[/note]], Paulo cracking "Whose bones do you think those are?" causes Jon to decide on the spot that the character that goes with that costume is the Ghost Dog.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: During Part 4, a [=NYPD=] cop shows up at Spirit Gum Theater; Arthur goes to talk to him, and he reveals to Gwen that he was asking about her and Sir Alexander. While everyone clocks that was in regards to Jason, Fred and Tommy's disappearances, at the end of the campaign, Jon reveals it was ''actually'' in regards to [[KilledOffscreen Guy getting murdered by a mugger]].

** [[invoked]] Kara gets ''legitimately upset'' when Jon tries saying Sir Alexander Dane and Gwen had gotten [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer Frosty's]] at Dairy Queen.

** Discussed: When Paulo asks if Jason and Tommy had seen ''Film/TheMatrix'' by the events of the movie, Kara tries to argue that ''Galaxy Quest'' was set when they filmed it, only for Jon to point out it takes place in the summer of 1999, while Andy puts the arguement to bed by finding out ''The Matrix'' came out in March.

** When discussing his recent audition for a Creator/QuentinTarantino movie, Sir Alexander Dane mentions he was asked to recite his {{Catchphrase}} from ''Galaxy Quest'', which convinces him they never actually intended him for the part, and were just fans.

* MovingTheGoalposts: Inverted: When faced with the prospect of doing his {{Catchphrase}} at the Dairy Queen, Kara decides to roll Will to see if Sir Alexander Dane can resist:

* ProductPlacement: Sir Alexander Dane manages to get a free Blizzard from Dairy Queen due to some clever repurposing of his {{Catchphrase}}, much to Kara's delight.

* RageBreakingPoint: The argument Sir Alexander Dane and Gwen get into towards the end of Part 2 over his seeming lack of professionalism causes him to accuse ''Gwen'' to be the real problem (for the crime of ''asking him to be more professional''), which causes Gwen to snap [[TantrumThrowing and throw both a full glass of cosmopolitan, and a pack of cigarettes, at him]].

** In almost poetic bit of coincidence, it's only when the [=LAPD=] cop Gwen is talking to is asking who ''else'' went with her to New York that everyone abruptly remembers [[WhateverHappenedToTheMouse that Guy is supposed to be in New York as well.]]

* DidntSeeThatComing: After getting stuck in the Morass, the crew of ''The Protector'' launch a missile hoping that its shockwave will launch the ship out of the NegativeSpaceWedgie and not blow it apart in the process. Nobody expects the Morass to ''freeze the fireball in place'', which is what actually happens.

** When Jason comes across mirrored text in one of the ready rooms (a perfect mirror image of the normal ready room set), Paulo rolls IQ to try and figure out what's going on. Jon greets his failure with "Doesn't look like anything to me," a phrase from Series/{{Westworld}} that serves as the androids' stock response to seeing something [[PerceptionFilter they've been programmed not to see]].

--->'''Kara''': [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY!]] It's Ant- She's Antone Ego!
--->'''Jon''': [[NotEvenBotheringWithAnExcuse It's Ant- It's Female Antone Ego.]]

* SettingRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Upon "realizing" he traveled back in time to when the show got cancelled, Jason decides to try and "change the script" in order to patch up his relationships with the others, and try and get ''something'' worthwhile off the ground for all of them. After he and Tommy snap out of it "by" 1988, he openly admits he wanted to fix things, with Tommy admitting things weren't ''great'' for him back then.

** After Mort accidentally makes the cops think Sir Alexander is a murderer, Kara calls out Jon for [[Recap/FilmRerollTheMightyDucks once again]] railroading her into going to jail, as [=DM=] or not. When Jon protests that that was ''[[OnceDoneNeverForgotten one time]]'', Paulo brings up [[Recap/FilmReroll when Kara briefly played Tom]].

* DareToBeBadass: As Gwen causes some chaos be openly resisting arrest, Sir Alexander decides to rile up the crowd enough to go after the cops (which results in Addison [=DeWitt=] going on stage to beat up a downed cop):

* NotWhatItLooksLike: When Jason tries to explain to Tommy that the situation they're in is similar to ''Film/TheMatrix''[[note]]meaning they are being kept in simulations to enduce bliss so they can be used as batteries[[/note]], only for Broms (becoming alarmed[[note]]since she knows about the movie, as she knows what her charges know[[/note]]) to explain she ''isn't'' doing that

** As a result of Guy getting DemotedToExtra in Part 2, he's completely absent in Part 3.

The year is 1999. Eighteen years have passed since the cancellation of [[{{Homage}} the hit sci-fi series]] ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Galaxy Quest]]'', and although the show maintains a steady fanbase to the point of there still being a long-running fan convention, only the main lead Jason Nesmith is riding the high of having been on the show. Guy Fleegman is the only other one clinging to the show like a liferaft, despite only being on one episode (where he ''died''). The rest of the crew? They absolutely ''despite'' both the show, ''and'' their leading man.

** The way Fred decides to reveal to Malthazar that [[WasItAllALie Galaxy Quest was just a show, and the crew were actors]] isn't particularly kindhearted, with him bringing up the concept of people pretending to be other people for entertainment, and openly asking if he noticed any lists of names[[note]]meaning the credits[[/note]] in the "historical documents". Kara openly compares this to someone trying to justify cheating on their spouse. "She knew what she was signing on for!"
*** It only gets worse when Fred openly decides to fully submit to the LotusEaterMachine, and rope the remaining Thermians into it, and implicitly letting Sarris to continue rampaging unabated. The last time Fred sees Malthazar, [[WhatTheHellHero there is a fleeting look of betrayal on his face]].

* WasItAllALie: When Fred meets back up with Malthazar in the LotusEaterMachine while at the former's cabin, the second he asks why Broms called him "Fred", Andy decides that Fred is going to break the illusion, and tell Mathazar the truth about ''Galaxy Quest''. To say Mathazar becomes heartbroken would be an understatement:
-->'''Jon''': (to Andy) [[WhatTheHellHero Roll to break Malthazar's heart.]]

** When Fred decides to accept Broms' offer to remain in the LotusEaterMachine, he talks her into letting the remaining Thermians aboard the ''Protector'' in as well. Broms allows Fred to see Malthazar one last time, in his true squid form; for a brief moment, there is a look of sadness and betrayal on his squid face... before he's distracted by the visage of a female Thermian, and a bunch of baby Thermians. Fred is more annoyed with the silent accusation than anything else.

** This ultimately extends into the MetaFiction, as Guy's [[WhateverHappenedToTheMouse complete disappearance from the plot]] after Episode 1 is only brought up in passing and only ever as a joke. [[WhamLine Until the very end]], that is.

** Ironically, at the samae time, ''Tommy'' is missing from Part 4, but no one notices.

*** It only gets worse when Fred openly decides to fully submit to the LotusEaterMachine, and rope the remaining Thermians into it, and implicitly letting Serris to continue rampaging unabaited. The last time Fred sees Malthazar, [[WhatTheHellHero there is a fleeting look of betrayal on his face]].

** When the cops rush towards Sir Alexander on stage, and he manages to scare one of them into fainting, the other opts to instead grab his partnet and leave, vowing to come back.

Broms allows Fred to see Malthazar one last time, in his true squid form; for a brief moment, there is a look of sadness and betrayal on his squid face... before he's distracted by the visage of a female Thermain, and a bunch of babie Thermians. Fred is more annoyed with the silent accusation than anything else.

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Once he fully realizes he's in a LotusEaterMachine, Fred voices a lingering hang-up he has: Is he going to stay the same forever and never age, or can he die if he wants to? Upon being asked this, [[NotWhatThisLooksLike Broms puts Fred into a psychiatrist's office and, acting as his therapist, asks if he's contemplating suicide.]] But once Broms stresses that there's no ''reason'' to die, or feel the negatives of life, Fred decides to stay.

* DareToBeBaddass: As Gwen causes some chaos be openly resisting arrest, Sir Alexander decides to rile up the crowd enough to go after the cops (which results in Addison [=DeWitt=] going on stage to beat up a downed cop):

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: "Demers, you remember [[CallBack blue goo]], right?" "''[[BluntNo No.]]''"
