Line 72:
* [[Happily Married]]: George and Susan
* [[Human Outside, Alien Inside]]: Although they look moderately similar to humans, Tenctonese cannot metabolize cooked protein, so most of their diet consists of raw animals. See also the entries for [[G-Rated Drug]] and [[Weaksauce Weakness]].
* [[Humans Are
** The Tectonese aren't necessarily any better and the racism not only goes both ways, but exists within their own species.
** Many of the Tectonese, especially George, believe that [[Humans Are Special]] because they welcomed The Newcomers into their world, gave total freedom to a species bred to be perfect slaves, and asked no more of them then they would themselves. Racism aside that's pretty damn impressive.
Line 103:
* [[Ridiculous Future Sequelisation]]: A common gag.
* [[Rubber Forehead Aliens]]
* [[Science Is Bad]]: In episode 2, the criminal was a human scientist who was extracting a gland from his Newcomer patients in order to reverse aging in his human ones, which killed the Newcomers.

Line 118:
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Vessna basically disappears after the second movie.
** Explained in the first movie: Newcomer infants enter a cocoon at around a year old that [[Sarcasm Mode|protects the writers from having to mention them for the rest of the TV movies]].
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist
* [[Yiddish as a Second Language]]: An old doctor George and Matt interview about stolen Newcomer blood just keeps on spouting off in Yiddish. George's face as he tries to follow the conversation is hilarious.
* [[Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters]]: In the final movie, George and Susan have basically this argument about the Udara.
