** It's very subtle, but when Dominator corners the duo, she refers to Wander by name, but can't remember Sylvia's. It's peculiar that she would remember the name of someone she has had little interaction with, but not the name of someone she had a night out with, right? Well, it's entirely possible that she is just ''pretending'' to not know Sylvia's name, as if to say that their night out meant nothing to her and that their "friendship" might as well have never even happened. Either way, it's heartbreaking.

* While it's portrayed in a comedic fashion, it's easy to feel bad for Lord Hater in the first part of "The Search for Captain Tim", especially for viewers who have also experienced having a missing pet. He desperately searches all around his ship and is rendered a heartbroken curled-up ball when he can't find Tim. Keep in mind, this is the same guy who hardly ever shows any sort of compassion for anyone else, which makes it even more upsetting. To rub salt in the wounds, the Watchdogs are ''happy'' that Tim is gone (likely due to Tim attacking them, so it's not like the rejoicing is completely unjustified), so Hater has nobody to comfort him.
