Line 28:
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: Fenric. Takes over Millington's body, then Judson's, then Sorin's.
* [[The Grotesque]]: The Ancient One, the head Haemovore.
* [[Kill'Em All]]: Because it's not [[
* [[Kneel Before Zod]]

'''Fenric:''' Kneel if you want the girl to live!<br />
'''Doctor:''' [[Wham! Line|Kill her.]] }}
* [[Immune to Bullets]]: Bullets slow the Haemovores down, but can't kill them.
* [[It Won't Turn Off]]: The ULTIMA machine.
Line 49:
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: The Doctor's habit of not telling anyone else what's going on comes back to bite him big time.
* [[The Radio Dies First]]: Enforced
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: The eyes of every person Fenric takes over turn red.
* [[Shoot the Dog]] / [[Break His Heart to Save Him|Break Her Heart To Save Her]] / [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: The Doctor tells Fenric that he only took Ace in because he knew Fenric's curse was inside her, all while insulting Ace and making her cry. He had a good reason, but ''ouch''.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: 1940s computing is surprisingly accurately shown, and so are most of the details of period cryptanalysis. German cryptography really did depend on rotors, as shown, and the rotor diagram on Judson's blackboard is extremely simple but essentially accurate. On the other hand, translation of an ancient script is ''not'' "decryption", and the [[wikipedia:Prisonerchr(27)s dilemma|Prisoner's Dilemma]] name-checked by the Doctor and Judson in part 1 is not an algorithm but a well-known problem in game theory.
Line 58:
* [[Temporary Love Interest]]: Sorin is Ace's love interest for about...30 minutes.
* [[Those Two Guys|Those Two Girls:]] Jean and Phyllis. They don't really do much, at least not while they're alive.
* [[Three
* [[To Know Him I Must Become Him]]: Millington has his office decorated with Nazi emblems and furnishings as a means towards this trope.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Both the British and Soviet forces know that Haemovores are running around the area and killing people. Clearly, the logical thing to do is start attacking each other. In defence of the British, they're commanded by Millington, who is quite quite mad.
