* You know how [[Attempted Suicide]] is [[Played for Laughs]] at [[
** At the end of the [[Silent Hill]] Dead/Alive review, we learn the origins of the Magic Gun. {{spoiler|It is made of the soul of a tortured little girl. A girl ''tortured by her parents to revive an ancient god''. Upon learning of this, and how he has been using the Gun for so long, an already weakened Linkara is mind-raped to the point of believing that he was the girl's father and tries to shoot himself with the Gun. He only survives because the girl's spirit in the Gun sees he's worth saving, and doesn't shoot.}}
*** {{spoiler|"They didn't love me." After Linkara goes through an ominous book full of scrawled angry text that sets up some ominous foreshadowing, of all things it's that one little line, written plaintively in the corner of the page that packs the biggest emotional gut punch.}}
Line 18:
** Oh, hell, even right before that, when he {{spoiler|cries out "LIZ!" and rushes forward to save her, only to be blocked by the Entity...}} Lips will tremble and eyes will water.
* After reviewing Electric Tale of Pikachu, he {{spoiler|gives up as he sees no way to defeat the Entity}}, stands up, and a sadder rendition of his theme song plays as he slowly takes off the Ash-esque outfit he wore all episode and replaces it with his own outfit- even replicating camera angles of putting on his coat and hat seen in his opening credits. He just looks so...''defeated''. The worst part, however, is {{spoiler|what he says to Nimue:}}
{{quote|
{{spoiler|'''Nimue''': The emotion... is shared.}} }}
** The magic gun is absorbed by the Entity.
*** However, if you stay for the credits, it says that {{spoiler|the Magic Gun also came back after the Entity's death}}.
*** Linkara's desperate, hopeless reaction to losing her. That isn't the look of a man who lost his best weapon, he treats her taking with the same gravity as Liz being taken.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130405031730/http://thefoundary.blogspot.com/2011/11/lewis-and-i-have-parted-ways.html Lewis and Liz have broken up as a couple.] It has been hinted that the split was amiable, and that they will remain friends, but it's still pretty sad.
* The duplication of {{spoiler|Spock's death with Pollo. Particularly Iron Liz calling Linkara "Lewis" to snap him out of suicidally running in.}}
** Note that {{spoiler|no one has ''ever'' referred to Linkara by his real name before this.}}
Line 30:
** This troper will admit that he rolled his eyes when that started. But the moment {{spoiler|Liz called him by his real name}} I lost it.
** This exchange between Pollo and Linkara {{spoiler|as the former slowly dies from radiation after saving Comicron-1 from Mechakara.}}
{{quote|
{{spoiler|'''Linkara:''' He's not you.}}
{{spoiler|'''Pollo:''' You said you were afraid that I might become like him. I hope this proves otherwise.}}
{{spoiler|'''Linkara:''' You didn't have to prove anything. You're nothing like him, Pollo. You're my friend.}} }}
** Pollo never backed himself up, because he said he it wouldn't be "him"; it would be like a clone, a different person. You ever wonder why Linkara never tried to resurrect anyone via cloning after attempting it with Spoony {{spoiler|(and why he didn't offer it as an option when Ma-ti died)}}? ''That was Pollo's influence.''
