* WorthlessYellowRocks: Ryan hoards a sack full of banknotes, which he tries to use to buy off Ebony and her people when they are holding Dal captive. They are not impressed and promptly use them as fuel. Retroactively became FridgeLogic when New Zealand switched to polymer banknotes, which don't even burn, during the show's run (the show also used prop British banknotes, which were only switched to polymer many years after the show).

* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: Zoot, the infamous tyrant terrifying everyone, dies from ''falling off a railing'' early into season one. The event serves both to create plot tension (the Mall Rats know that no-one would believe they weren't responsible for his death, so they do their best to hide it) and to establish that the villains' [[TheSocialDarwinist "strength is everything"]] ideology means nothing in a realistic setting where people can die for stupid reasons, however good they are in a fight.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope
Changed line(s) 159 (click to see context) from:
** Taken UpToEleven in first season. The series takes place in a lawless, post-apocalyptic city, where civilization has entirely collapsed and people do terrible things to survive. Most characters- both male and female- have grown pragmatic and distrustful because of this, if not outright evil. And ''then'' there's [[TallDarkAndHandsome Bray]], who is [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduced]] as Trudy's protector, refusing adamantly to abandon her and her unborn child. Even though the child isn't his. Even though the child is actually the son of his tyrannical younger brother. And said brother is hunting Trudy because of this, and Trudy is [[TheLoad emotionally fragile]] at the best of times. Bray still stands up to the tribe of protagonists, saying 'If I join, so does she.' The ensuing flood of [[UnwantedHarem romantic attention]] and {{catfight}}s nearly destroys the fledging tribe.

** More "Where the Hell is Springfield" weirdness pops up when you consider the utter and total lack of any guns. Points to somewhere other than Australia, North America or Canada, which would have a lot of guns accessible by civilians in the post-apocalypse. The Locos have a police car but no police firearms (suggesting that, in the pre-tribe world, the police didn't regularly carry guns). Even when the City gets invaded by Technos with stun guns, no one dusts off their parents' old gun. Obviously it was a kid's show, but the context seems to imply a country with very strict gun control ''before'' the viral apocalypse.
** Of course, it's possible that the kids speaking and reading "English" could be a TranslationConvention, considering how generic the setting is.
