• Crowning Moment of Funny: Even after 90% of humanity is dead or enslaved, Bostonians can still take comfort in the Red Sox' 2004 comeback against the NY Yankees.
• Designated Villain: Pope, as far as the leadership of the 2nd Mass is concerned. True, way back in the second episode he took the main characters hostage. True, he gave away the position of the 2nd Mass... though he was probably under pressure to do so. However, when it comes down to it, he hasn't really done much else to deserve being kept locked up nonstop and treated the way he is - what with the humans having bigger fish (like an alien occupation), to fry and all.
• Freud Was Right: The best way to incapacitate or kill an alien is to jam something long and hard in their mouth.
• Fridge Horror: When Anne and Lourdes dissect the Skitter and realize that the Skitters may once have been harnessed kids. Or at least harnessed-something.
• Hot Teacher: Tom Mason was a History professor before the aliens arrived.
• Jerkass Woobie: Weaver. After we find out what happened to his family, it's hard not to forgive him for his Jerkass tendencies.
• Jumped the Shark: The point at which Anne's daughter started developing Psychic Powers, or thereabouts.
• Tear Jerker: The entirety of the Ricky subplot in the episode Grace, though it may not be as sympathetic for Mike considering his irrational actions.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: For a television series at least, the special effects are quite good.
