* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: "Beyond The Beyond", which takes a sharp turn away from horror and into a closed-circle murder mystery at a convention for an InUniverse [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]] {{Expy}} with no supernatural elements, to the point that Randi's lycanthropy isn't even mentioned.

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: "Don't worry, there won't be another full moon for months!" says Randi, the ''werewolf''. Making it more confusing, Ian correctly states that Randi has four weeks until the next full moon earlier in the same episode.

** Then, Ian starts writing a screenplay about his life, but to make it more appealing to Hollywood executives, he reworks Randi into a big breasted blonde and turns their UnresolvedSexualTension into her being full-on TeacherStudentRomance. Randi promptly tears it up in disgust.

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: In "Can't Keep A Dead Man Down", a Hollywood studio's interest in Ian's book immediately goes to his head. He even goes so far as to believe the university would willingly ''get rid of the library'' to give him a bigger office. His ego is deflated when the head of his department arrives and tells him he'll no longer be getting a salary because of it.

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: "Don't worry, there won't be another full moon for months!"

The attraction deepens when she discovers that she does not metamorphose into a werewolf when she spends the night of a full moon with him.

* DenserAndWackier: Post-retool the supernatural became a lot less grounded in their mythological roots. For instance, the first retool episode featured cave-dwelling trolls turning themselves into humans with a chamber made of nuclear-powered copy machine parts so they can live above ground ''simply to get better TV reception''.
