* TheRemnant: Both Phoebus and Thalan. The war they are fighting is long since over, as is the civilisation they are from. In fact, even their ''bodies'' are dead, but the two still will not give up trying to kill the other before their consciousnesses fade way and they die for good.
* SayMyName: [=McKay=] shouts “Elizabeth!” as she faints.
* YouAreAlreadyDead: The reason for the escape pods imprinting mechanism. When the pods occupant is dead, or so near to death that resuscitation would kill them anyway, the pod beams their mind into the next person to open it - either as a way to say goodbye, or give a report on the circumstances that led to using the pod - before their mind fades away in a day or so.
--> '''Phoebus!Weir''': Then for all intents and purposes, I am already dead.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Thalan at least is surprisingly diligent about not hurting anyone except Phoebus; at one point he's even shown setting Ronon's gun to stun to knock out Teyla, then switching it back to kill for Phoebus.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Thalan at least is surprisingly diligent about not hurting anyone except Phoebus; at one point he's even shown setting Ronon's gun to stun to knock out Teyla, then switching it back to kill for Phoebus. By comparison, Phoebus is willing to murder everyone in Atlantis just to kill a man who will die in a few hours anyway.
* EvilIsPetty: Moreso Phoebus than Thalan, but both soldiers insist on killing the other despite acknowledging that they'll both effectively be dead in a few hours anyway, because they want to go out a winner.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: After finding out that the chances of reviving the woman in stasis are unlikely, Weir talks wistfully of what they could learn from her. A few seconds later, she is hit by a beam that imprints the woman’s personality into her body and it turns out she’s a homicidal, revenge-driven maniac who is willing to put the whole of Atlantis at risk to kill one man.

* DefiantToTheEnd: Notably, despite being imprinted much earlier, Phoebus took a lot longer than Thalan to fade from existence and, according to Sheppard, was trying to fight against it until the very end.

* AndIMustScream: The imprinting technology effectively isolates the host’s consciousness within their own mind while the imprinted consciousness has complete control of their body; during which time the host personality can see and hear everything the imprinted personality is thinking and doing. As Weir described it:
-->'''Weir:''' The entire time I was shouting to everyone, but nothing I wanted to would come out of my mouth.



* BottomlessMagazines: Averted. Phoebus tells Teyla the only reason she didn’t shoot her is she didn’t know how many bullets she had left.
