91	After ''Reunion'', the series will restart into a new series featuring the [[OriginalCharacter Original Characters]] of Line Hopper, while removing a majority of the Buffy and Doctor Who elements and characters.
92	----
93	!!The tropes appearing in ''Adventures of a Line Hopper'' are:
94	%%* AlienInvasion: Happens frequently.
95	%%* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Torchwood frequently and the Slayer Institute in ''Bringer of Death''.
96	%%* BluffTheImposter: Used frequently in ''Line Hopper'' [[spoiler: to weed out Elizabeth. It doesn't work.]]
97	%%* CoolShip: The TARDIS [[spoiler: and Oliver.]]
98	%%* CrapsackWorld: The Universe that the Time War is sealed away in [[spoiler: that also happens to be the universe Elizabeth comes from.]]
99	%%** The Axis is some sort of trans-dimensional quarantine for these, allowing them to burn out on their own. [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E4Inferno The Doctor has visited it before]].
100	* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Allison]] in ''Four Five Six''. [[spoiler: Almost all of the major characters on the real world side of The Years That Never Were. They did in fact actually die, but everyone killed comes back once time is reversed.]]
101	* DistressedDude: The Doctor gets kidnapped/brainwashed/etc a handful of times, and usually either has to be rescued or has to carefully make use of TimeyWimey to get others to help him escape.
102	%%* DeathIsCheap: A given in a series with both time travel and [[RealityWarper Willow]].
103	* DoppelgangerCrossover: Though they never meet, Spike and John Hart (both played by Creator/JamesMarsters) are both recurring characters.
104	* EvilMeScaresMe: [[spoiler: Buffy and Elizabeth.]]
105	** [[spoiler: Though more insane than evil, Dawn is terrified of Tenth!Seo and decides to leave First!Seo for a time because of it.]]
106	%%* EvilTwin: [[spoiler:Elizabeth to Buffy.]]
107	%%* FieldTripToThePast: A staple trope to the Whoniverse.
108	%%* AGodAmI: [[spoiler: The mindset of Tenth!Seo.]]
109	* AGodIAmNot: Played for laughs in the epilogue of "The Seventh Segment," where after five thousand years [[spoiler:Glory's Minions]] ''still'' think that the Doctor is God despite his "first commandment" being "What? No! I'm not God! StopWorshippingMe!"
110	* GodForADay: [[spoiler: Tenth!Seo gets a taste of Glory's true power in her home universe.]]
111	%%* HappilyMarried: Donna and Shawn Temple-Noble
112	%%* HandicappedBadass: Xander [[spoiler: and Willow in Elizabeth's universe.]]
113	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Seo flings herself off of the bridge of the Valiant near the end of the Year that Never Was in order to prevent the Master from using her to kill Martha Jones.]]
114	* TheIncorruptible: The Doctor may do horrible things [[TheNeedsOfTheMany to prevent worse tragedies]], but he will ''always'' take the course of action that leads to the best possible outcome, and will ''always'' attempt to TakeAThirdOption before taking the LesserOfTwoEvils. It's implied that part of this is because he feels guilt over ''every'' atrocity he commits, no matter how justified or unavoidable. So much so that [[spoiler:even as a vampire, he still tries to do the right thing and ultimately pulls a HeroicSacrifice despite lacking a soul.]]
115	%%* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Part of the main plot of ''Irkoli''.
116	* LackOfEmpathy: The reason why [[spoiler: the PowersThatBe]] refer to The Embarrassment as such- a being of their strength [[spoiler: having a human soul]] is considered an embarrassment to their kind.
117	%%* LeParkour: Frequently employed by Buffy and Seo.
118	%%* LetsGetDangerous: Seo often does this.
119	* [[spoiler: PatchworkKids: Seo, who is essentially a combination of Buffy's skill with The Doctor's intelligence, with a combination of the love of life and adventure from both. Her first incarnation is even described as looking exactly like Buffy with the Tenth Doctor's eyes and dimples. Justified, in that Seo was purposefully designed by the Monks of Dagon to incorporate the best traits of the two in order to combat Glory.]]
120	* TheMeddlingKidsAreUseless: Since the author strictly follows any canon events, characters from Buffy/Doctor Who will always find themselves unable to make a difference in any pre-established Doctor Who/Buffy episodes.
121	* MentalAffair: How Time Lords usually have sex. Later [[spoiler:Seo and Xander]] break up because [[ExoticEquipment he lacks her telepathic abilities]].
122	* PowersThatBe: The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Powers That Be]] from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. [[spoiler: Also Seo's adoptive Father, Bad Wolf/The Embarrassment/The Entity.]]
123	* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Only three enemies have this particular mark on their rap sheets, and all three die (or worse):
124	** The Master (well, MindRape, which is considered the standard Time-Lord equivalent of sex)
125	** Bilis Manger (who is thoroughly insane and convinced that [[spoiler:Seo]] is his lover, despite the fact that apart from a one-night stand they've never had sex [[QuestionableConsent without him telepathically manipulating her into it]])
126	** Razor and his allies (soulless vampires whose actions [[spoiler: push the Doctor into committing genocide against all vampires on Earth]])
127	* TakeUpMySword: [[spoiler: Seo promises to uphold Buffy's world-saving after she believes that she's left her to die in another universe.]]
128	* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:Seo is the mind of Glory, in other words she is the TRUE Glorificus while the one Buffy faced was merely the shell of her body.]]
129	* TrulySingleParent: [[spoiler:Rose Tyler/Bad Wolf]] created the Entity [[spoiler: AKA the Bad Wolf, AKA The Embarrassment]] out of [[RealityWarpingIsNotAToy uncontrolled raw reality-warping power]] and [[spoiler: the wish to protect the Doctor- hence why the Entity looks like nine.]]
130	* TykeBomb: The reason why Seo is so dangerous. ''The Most Dangerous Alien You'll Ever Meet'' has the Torchwood team explaining to Gwen that despite being raised properly, Seo has too much power and potential for destruction for a teenager to handle (therefore making her [[TitleDrop The Most Dangerous Alien You'll Ever Meet]]).
131	%%* TwoLinesNoWaiting: The plot(s) of ''The Years That Never Were''.
