Line 28:
* [[A Boy and His X]] - An Earth soldier and his parthenogenic reptilian alien adopted child.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The Fyrene Pit Fiend appears almost immediately after the crash, and repeatedly menaces both Davidge and Jerry. The turtle-like groundrunner, the Pit Fiend's first victim, also comes in very handly both as food and as a meteor shield.
* [[Conveniently -Close Planet]]: Not only do they both crash on the nearby planet, but within walking distance of each others spacecraft.
* [[Crazy Cultural Comparison]] - Early in the relationship, Davidge quotes, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Jerry thinks he must have learned this from "great Drac teacher, Shizumaat." Davidge responds he learned it from [[Disney|Mickey Mouse]], and Jerry assumes he was a "great Earthman teacher." They also have this with Shizumaat's book that has it's own version of "do unto others" and when Davidge comments on hearing it before, Jerry replies of course, since it's universal truth.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]] - The beginning fighter scene starts out as this but turns ugly when the Drac [[Zerg Rush|ambush]] the Alert squadron. Also pretty much every time Davidge faces off against the slavemaster.
