| 1 | * AngstWhatAngst: Nic is rather blase about [[spoiler: getting roofied and nearly sexually assaulted by two female cultists]]. His lack of reaction becomes even more weird when we later learn that [[spoiler:he was abducted as a child and held in a dark room by someone heavily hinted to be a child molester.]] |
| 2 | * AntiClimax: Nathaniel Carter is built up as someone of significance and possibly an antagonist, given how Cameron Ellis adamantly refuses to give Nic any information on him and emphatically claims he's not "someone [Nic] wants to meet", as well as Nic's extended investigation into Carter's background, his mental breakdown, and connection to the Parzevela industrial complex. In the last two episodes of Season 2, the Complex is burned down but Nathaniel is alive and claims to be the mysterious Navigator... [[spoiler:and gets himself killed in the season finale because it turns out he wasn't]]. |
| 3 | * ChrisCarterEffect: Most of [[https://www.reddit.com/r/PNWS/ the subreddit]] feels ''TANIS'' has devolved into this, with more and more subplots and mysteries introduced but never resolved or tied together. |
| 4 | * DenserAndWackier: Of a sort, in comparison to ''Podcast/TheBlackTapes'' - ''The Black Tapes'' deliberately skirts the line of MaybeMagicMaybeMundane by having one of its main characters act as TheSkeptic at all times. ''TANIS'' has repeated incidents that if true (as Nic can be slightly prone to being an UnreliableNarrator due to Tanis-related SanitySlippage) defy all scientific explanation. |
| 5 | * MorePopularSpinoff: Of ''Black Tapes''. While both have their fans and crossover between the fandoms exist, ''TANIS'' helped flesh out TheVerse and even got greenlit for a TV series. |
| 6 | * SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: A bonus episode makes it clear that [[Podcast/TheBlackTapes Dr Strand]] won't ever appear in ''TANIS'', in spite of fellow ''Black Tapes'' character Alex having a supporting role. |
