** The fact that Tulip's parents are divorced, since their parents don't talk to each other, Tulip has no-one to pick her up for the camp. Her crying at her door and looking at the picture of all three of them being happy is just heartbreaking.
** Tulip's dad later texts her "Please call" with a sad emoji, showing that he's genuinely sorry. But instead of doing so, Tulip decides to go to camp on her own, feeling betrayed.

** Tulip catches a glimpse of someone getting ''dragged off the train and reduced to particals by some kind of vortex''. It scares her so much that she wants to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leave immediately]].

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Downplayed, but Tulip's redesign for the show did recieve some criticism. Especially the glasses looking more like normal glasses, rather than being infinity-shaped. Opinions improved upon seeing [[https://twitter.com/cartoonnetwork/status/1075778240185319425?s=09 the Cartoon Network sizzle reel]] on Twitter, which features a few clips from the show proper and shows that Tulip's design is now somewhere in between her pilot design and teaser design.

** The first episode gives us some idea of how far this show is willing to go, as Tulip, in her attempt to escape the train, finds herself the target of vicious, relentless, giant lifeforce-draining cockroaches. No punches are pulled; Tulip's face is shown visibly ageing as her vitality is drained from her.

* FriendlyFandoms:
** With both ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' and ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall'', due to the similar story structure of kid protagonists finding themselves in a mysterious environment, which may or may not be otherworldly.
** Tulip is also commonly seen alongside [[WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse Luz]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}} Anne]], since all three shows are scheduled for 2019 to be released and revolve around a young girl being TrappedInAnotherWorld. Some also like to throw [[WesternAnimation/TwelveForever Reggie/Twelve]] into the mix.

* EpilepticTrees: This is pretty much the show's main drawing point. How did Tulip get on the train in the first place? What does the number on her hand mean? [[AmbiguouslyEvil What are the Steward's true intentions]] and what is One-One's motivation on joining Tulip on her quest?

* JerkassWoobie: Tulip is a gruff teen, who insists that everything must have a logical explanation for its existence. She reluctantly admits that she is selfish and only wants to get home, but when guilted by One One, she does what she can to help Atticus. We don't even know why she's on the train, only that she can't get off to get home because it's in the middle of the desert.

* OlderThanTheyThink: ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' features an episode where the main characters wind up on a train with an infinite number of carriages, containing puzzles and challenges that lead them onto the next carriage. WordOfGod claims that, before he pitched the show, he was gutted to learn that ''Adventure Time'' had already used a similar premise, but the crew were kind enough to allow him permission.

* CounterpartComparison:
** Tulip has been compared with both Dipper and Wendy from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''. The former for being both being {{Adorkable}} [[BadassBookworm Badass Bookworms]] trying to solve the mysteries of the place they find themselves in filled with [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]] (also both have something involving a number on a hand, though in Dipper's case it's on [[TomeOfEldritchLore Journal 3]] and not on his hand), and the latter for being a RedheadInGreen. Wendy and Tulip also share a trait of having an unusual middle name that starts with a B (Blerble and Beetleguise, respectively).
** Other people have also compared her to Wirt from ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall'', being a [[BadassBookworm brainy but tough]] teenager with something of an InsufferableGenius personality lost in a strange, desolate landscape that has a strong (albeit only metaphorical in Wirt's case) connection to trains, and [[AgentScully refuse to accept the fantastical/impossible reality]] of what they're dealing with. Both of them are also accompanied by two diminuitive companions, one upbeat and one downbeat (Glad-One and Sad-One vs. Greg and Beatrice), and both spend their pilot episode fleeing a large monster.

* NightmareFuel: The SDCC Trailer is pretty spooky, in no small part from how Tulip's mom keeps calling for her daughter, not knowing that she's vanished without a trace. The slow turn of Tulip's hand to see the glowing numbers is also agonizing to watch (unless you saw the pilot).

** Tulip's brief HeroicBSOD when she thinks she's solved Atticus's problem,only to get no answers. She laments how she could stay on the train for years and not get any means of reaching home.
** Atticus getting hurt when confronting the "monster," and he lets out a doglike whimper after getting thrashed into a wall.
