* CoolTeacher: Mr. James Rooney, Jenny's scence teacher, who takes a liking to her mother Irene and joins the group of Alana's allies. Jenny even tells Alana that the schoolgirls call him "Mr. Spunkarooney"[[note]]a "spunk" in Australian slang is someone hot[[/note]], and [[LiteralMinded Alana cluelessly greets him this way the first time she meets him in class]].
Added DiffLines:
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: The Mind Link, where two Transducer users merge their beams to generate far more powerful effects, is not exactly ''forbidden'', but is definitely dangerous and not done lightly. Because Transducers are psychic tools, it runs the risk of doing mental damage to inexperienced users if they can't maintain their discipline. Lorien is forced to Mind Link with Alana for the first time to rescue Silverthorn and a boy who'd fallen into the surf and were being dragged out to sea by a riptide, lacking the strength to pull them back in on her own, and Lorien rates Alana's successful performance as sufficient to make her a fully-qualified user. [[spoiler:At the climax, Alana doesn't have the strength to push the camera drone with PJ attached far enough up into the atmosphere to reach the nuclear bomb-loaded transport before it destroys the remaining Peace Platform and dooms the southern hemisphere, so she's forced to link up with the inexperienced Jenny to save the human race.]]

* HumansArePsychicInTheFuture: {{Subverted|Trope}}; Alana claims that the Transducers require the use of ESP to function.function, but it's not something unique to people from the year 3000 as Jenny trains to use one in ''Tomorrow's End'' and actually manages become quite proficient very quickly. Apparently all humans have ESP, but they need the Transducers to channel it

* VillainsBlendInBetter: Alana has a lot of trouble adapting to the 1990s, but Silverthorn takes to them like a piranha in a goldfish bowl. Justified by Alana and Silverthorn being from significantly different backgrounds, such that Silverthorn has spent his whole life adapting to unfamiliar and hostile circumstances in a way Alana hasn't. Also, Silverthorn has a significant advantage in having access to the time machine's databanks. He's also from a much closer time period than Alana, only 500 years in the future rather than 1000.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: The final episode is called ''Kings of the dinosaurs'' because the power-hungry villains are stranded in a very remote past with no one to "rule" except dinosaurs (as the kids gleefully point out). However, it is said that they were sent to the year "5 million BC", which is ''sixty million years'' later than non-avian dinosaurs went extinct. However, no dinosaurs are actually shown, so the kids making the "dinosaur" quips may just be woefully ill-informed about the true extinction date of dinosaurs.

* EverybodyHatesMathematics: Amusingly, James describes the time capsule as a decahedron, elaborating that that is a "twelve-sided figure", only to be corrected by the policeman that the word for a twelve-sided figure is ''do''decahedron. In fact, the time capsule is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girl_from_Tomorrow#The_Time_Capsule rhombicuboctahedron]], which has [[EntertaininglyWrong not twelve]] but ''twenty-six'' faces and twenty-four vertices.

* IdiotBall: Alana may only be a teenager, but she seems to be ''very'' ignorant about the past. Dropped into 1990 from 3000, she initially thinks doors aren't "working" because they don't automatically open to her as she is used to. A person from our time may be used to automatically opening doors in (say) the entrance to supermarkets, but would hardly expect any doors to have the same mechanism if dropped into medieval times around the year 1000.

* AerithandBob: People in the year 3000 tend to have euphonic names that cannot readily be etymologized based on current English: ''Alana'', ''Tulista'' and ''Lorien'' are among the examples turning up over the two seasons. However, the inventor of the time machine has the already-existing name ''Bruno''. In the year 2500, names are based on more recognizable elements, like ''Silverthorn''. A second-season 2500 character is called ''Nik'', presumably just a simplified spelling of Nick (for Nicholas?)
