Line 17:
* [[Ace Pilot]]: Schwartz is implied to be this with his craft the Gamma-V.
* [[Action Girl]]: Valkyrie qualifies, as does Jenny...
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: Occasionally there will be a single page that focuses on a minor character and what they do, like Bruce and Cheryl musing, or the Space Policemen and their mishaps with the sniffer frog.
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Does these every once in a while: these include [[Tron]], [[Transformers]], [[Star Trek]], and [[Goodfellas]].
* [[Alien Abduction]]: Scouse is kidnapped in this manner at first, {{spoiler|but he doesn't end up staying on the alien's ship for long.}}
Line 37:
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]: Kind of- the Classic Space minifigures have no visors, yet we see them breathing perfectly fine in the vacuum of space. Perhaps justified; the characters are made of Lego, after all.
* [[Bar Brawl]]: Whenever the M:Tron scientists inhabit the Raven's Port bar, this inevitably happens...at least until Schwartz shows up.
* [[Base Onon Wheels]]: The Mega Core Magnetizer.
* [[Beat Panel]]
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: To get back at Schwartz for his prank in the 100th episode, Galanos engineers a situation where Schwartz is forced to watch his least favorite show, the Lawrence Welk XVI show live ('Revenge is a Dish Best Served with Champagne'). {{spoiler|This ends up backfiring on him however, as Schwartz finds himself liking the show instead!}}
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: {{spoiler|Officer Freundlich, Masoch, Mr. Marx, Gunbar, and ''Vanilla Snowball'' as the cavalry in 'House Call'.}}
* [[Bigger Onon the Inside]]: Mostly averted, as the author uses the interior of the actual set he's using; played straight for whenever The Doctor's TARDIS is shown.
* [[Big No]]: Used once or twice, as when Schwartz is the unwilling viewer of the Lawernce Welk XVI show.
* [[Biting the Hand Humor]]: In one comic, Red berates the author for not putting her in more comics despite her (supposedly)
Line 51:
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Captain Dash is like this, stealing corpses and threatening members of his own Space Agency.}}
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: In the (aptly-titled) 'Breaking Down the Fourth Wall'.
* [[Brought to You Byby The Letter "S"]]: Mr. Scouse and the other M:Tron scientists have the letter 'M' on their uniform. Similarly, the Blacktron II members have a 'B on theirs.
* [[Can't Hold His Liquor]]: Lance and Vance Gemini in 'First Field Assignment'.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: The alien leader.
Line 74:
* [[Determinator]]: Captain Dash Jefferson.
* [[Dominatrix]]: Valkyrie channels this in 'Meteor Madness II'.
* [[Dramatic Ellipsis|Dramatic...Ellipsis]]: Schwartz in the second comic of the 'Bootlegs' storyline. Or, well kind of anyway; here it's used to indicate confused silence.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Walker shows up as early as 'Locked Up', though he isn't named 'til later. In fact, there are a few characters who have exactly this situation applied to them.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Lt. Coldwell is implied to be worshiping one of these- Lord Xenu.
* [[Ensign Newbie]]: Lt. Coldwell starting in 'Blank Attack'.
* [[Establishing Shot]]: One for every location in the comic.
* [[Everything's Deader Withwith Zombies]]: The Captain Dash Jefferson zombie.
* [[Exactly What I Aimed At]]: A trick Amarillo uses in 'Fun on the Runway'.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: For a few strips (445-447), the author appeared to be having troubles with his host site. {{spoiler|In reality it's a "meta-storyline" used for framing a guest strip.}}
Line 108:
* [[Happy Flashback]]: Schwartz's memories of camping in the White Condor with his parents.
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Galanos (and Ronald) for Priscilla the ice babe.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: When Amarillo, Lt. Coldwell, and the M:Tron's scientists attempt to escape the 'Jersey Devil' dragons only to have their magnetic ship become attached to the Mega Core Magnetizer's magnets by mistake in 'Blank Attack'.
* [[Home Base]]: Every character has one. For the Space Agents, it's mainly the Inter-Galactic Command Base, with the Android Base being secondary; for the Blacktron pirates, the Alpha Centauri Outpost; for the M:Tron scientists, it's officially the Mega Core Magnetizer (though in a sense the Raven's Port Bar could count too); and for the future Space Police it's Space Police Central Precinct 78.
* [[Intellectual Animal]]: The 'Jersey Devil' dragons.
Line 137:
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: {{spoiler|Commander Valkyrie}} in the earliest strips of the comic.
* [[Secret Identity]]: {{spoiler|Valkyrie had one at first that was unknown to even the viewers. She still tries to keep hers secret from the general public in-universe, though her cover is almost blown in 'Date Night'.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Many present; among the most common are ''[[Doctor Who]]'', ''[[Goodfellas]]'', ''[[Batman]]'' and fellow sci-fi Lego webcomic [[Tranquility Base (Webcomic)|Tranquility Base]].
* [[Single Biome Planet]]: Pluto is treated as one of these in a few stories.
* [[Space Pirates]]: The Blacktron Forces have been called this a few times.
Line 163:
** Clarified a bit in the blurb for 'Bootlegs Part 22'; the author prefers to go by the title of 'Space: The Comic' so as to not interfere on Lego's copyright/"Fair Play" policies. Currently this page is still under "Lego Space: The Comic", but if anyone feels this really needs changing, perhaps we can set up a discussion in the appropriate section.
* [[Time Dilation]]: Possible explanation for Schwartz and Galanos' extended absence in 'Bootlegs'.
* [[Tomato in Thethe Mirror]]: Happens to clone-Schwartz and Galanos, though they don't much care, so downplayed. The real Schwartz and Galanos discuss this in one comic before deciding it doesn't apply to them.
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: {{spoiler|Commander Masoch. He goes out of his way to experience pain, once hunting out the Blacktron I group and taunting them just to make them hurt him! They catch on however and leave him alone- which just makes him search for ''other'' places to get his fix of pain.}}
* [[True Neutral]]: The Exploriens faction claims to be this.
