Line 2:
* [[Complete Monster]]: The Crixorum. He [[Mind Rape|brainwashes]] {{spoiler|The Big Guy}}, turning him into a radical leader Hollow Earth insurgents, [[Batman Gambit|all the while feigning being in a drug-induced coma.]]
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: "Monsoon".
{{quote| '''Will''': H? How many fingers??<br />
'''Henry''': Mmmm... Tuesday.<br />
'''Will''': Eh, he's gonna be fine. }}
** "Chimera":
{{quote| '''Henry''': I was having this really wild dream - [[Love Interest|Erica]] was [[Star Wars|Princess Leia]] and I was doing this thing with my lightsaber-<br />
'''Magnus''': ''Whoa''! }}
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: "If you ever do that to me again, I will shoot you myself." The friendship between Henry and the Big Guy is pretty much one of these all over, all the time.
Line 12:
* [[Die for Our Ship]]: Inflicted on Clara Griffin by those who are against the Will/Clara ship. {{spoiler|You can all relax now, she dies during the second half of the 2nd season opener.}}
** Then Abby Corrigan showed up... man, Will can't get with ''anyone'' without fan backlash against the poor girl.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: John Druitt, especially after his [[Cry for Thethe Devil]] moment in "Haunted". Tesla too, although not quite to the same extent.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Tesla.
* [[Fan-Preferred Couple]]: Even though Helen/Druitt is canon, you're fairly hard pressed to find someone who doesn't ship Helen/Tesla. Including Tesla.
* [[Ho Yay]]: Druitt and Watson. Also qualifies as [[Foe Yay]]. Watson also seemed to have quite a bit of affection for Will, and vice versa. (Then again, Watson ''is'' played by [[Highlander (TV series)|Peter]] [[Even the Guys Want Him|Wingfield]].)
** [[Les Yay]]: Helen and Ranna. Oh, so very much.
*** Les Yay: At the end of "Monsoon". Surprisingly enough, Helen reciprocates!
Line 28:
** Tesla isn't a scrappy. That's thanks to the fact of a character that has more depth than Ashley and Kate put together (bit of stereotypes in themselves) and the great acting of Jonathon Young.
* [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]]: [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|Helen/Nikola]] vs [[Love Makes You Evil|Helen/John]] vs [[Dry Docked Ship|Helen/James]]. Meanwhile, [[Mentor Ship|Helen/Will]] shippers are roundly mocked, and [[Les Yay|Helen/Ranna]] shippers are thoroughly ignored.
* [[Special Effects Failure]]: As a [[Sci Fi ChannelSyfy]] original series, the show expectantly runs into this. However, it's not the low-budget CGI (which is surprisingly decent) that does it for fans, but the goofy-looking muscle suit that the lead actor wears when he's turned into a hulking freak.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: The reaction of some fans to the new opening theme.
* [[They Just Didn't Care]]: One is tempted to think they didn't do research with their original claim about the Arthur mythos that makes the morrigan a creation of Morgan Le Fay but actually they had to do some research to get that far, so one shall guess they just did not care.
* [[Values Dissonance]]: A little over a hundred years ago, Helen and the rest of The Five hunted down a dangerous man who attempted to kill most of London. He also had Dissociative Identity Disorder, and thus wasn't fully responsible for his behavior. Nevertheless, Helen did her level best to kill him in cold blood in order to protect society, believed she had succeeded, and is still pretty okay with that. Will, a modern psychologist, is appalled.
* [[What an Idiot!]] / [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: [[Ascended Fanboy|The Adjuster]]. {{spoiler|Apparently, at no point after getting his [[Clingy Costume]] [[Clothes Make the Superman|with associated]] [[Flying Brick]] [[Stock Super Powers|powers]] did he draw the obvious [[Spider -Man|Venom]] parallels and worry about [[Power Degeneration|the suit being harmful to his health]].}}
** {{spoiler|Given how it's stated that the suit won't go off until you actually want it off, it's probable he didn't care.}}
* [[The Woobie]]: Henry.
