14 | * CharacterDevelopment: Nina turns from a cold, cynical workaholic into a more likeable character. [[spoiler: She also begins to believe in TheConspiracy.]] |
15 | * CureYourGays: [[spoiler: Apparently believing in TheConspiracy is also capable of making people straight]]. |
16 | * CaptainErsatz: [=TVMSat=] is obviously Capitan Ersatz version of TVN and Polsat, especially the first. |
17 | %%* IntrepidReporter: Beata Fido's character was intended to be this. |
