The show later introduced:
* Elmira: [[Cute Monster Girl]]/[[Green-Skinned Space Babe]] member of the evil Spung species. {{spoiler|[[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter|Daughter]] of the team's [[Arch Nemesis]], Warlord Shank.}} [[Ascended Extra|Was going to be a main character]], [[Demoted to Extra|but the network kiboshed it]] and [[Executive Meddling|shoved in]] Suzee.
* Warlord Shank: [[Big Bad]] played by [[George Takei]].
* Suzee: Catalina's "imaginary" friend from season 1 was really an alien girl living in a different dimension. [[Teen Genius]], can perform [[Astral Projection]], can breathe any atmosphere, and all the boys like her.
Line 38:
* [[The Bridge]]
* [[Bullying a Dragon]]: Harlan does this to Radu, rather a lot. Given that we've [[Beware the Nice Ones|seen what he's capable of when an alien virus drives him over the edge]], it's a damn good thing for Harlan's welfare that Radu's a [[Actual Pacifist|harmless]], [[Adorkable|socially-awkward]], [[Dojikko|somewhat klutzy]] [[The Woobie|sweetheart]] rather than the [[The Brute|violent savage]] Harlan seems to think all his species are.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Thelma, expect everything she does to be [[Hilarity Ensues|off-the-wall]] and of marginal usefulness.
** Catalina appears to be one at first, habitually talking to her imaginary friend Suzee. It turns out Suzee is actually real.
* [[Curse of Babel]]: Catalina is the only one who knows why the ship is under attack in the same episode that she loses her voice from practicing her sonic scream powers.
* [[Data Crystal]]
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Nicely averted by the actors who played Catalina, Bova, and Rosie, all of whom were 13-14 during the first season. Radu and Suzee were borderline; both actors were 19-20 during the second season. Played deadly straight with Walter Emanuel Jones who, several years earlier, had been too old for his role in ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' and, well, hadn't gotten any younger since.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Rosee says that on Mercury, they always look on the sunny side of the street and both sides are the sunny side. Well; not at ''once'', but you do got to give her credit that she knew Mercury wasn't Tidally locked.
* [[Disney Death]]: Catalina in the first season finale.
** This was actually a case of [[Executive Meddling]]. Catalina was supposed to die, and be replaced by the recurring character Elmira. Nick thought that she was too alien, and they were forced into having Catalina trade places with Suzee. Other examples of Nick's meddling was moving Davenport and Goddard into the background in season 2.
Line 57:
** [[The Hero]]: Harlan, in his own mind at least ("Thinks he knows it all"/"Leaps before he looks").
** [[The Lancer]]: Bova ("Acts like nothing's funny")
** [[The Smart Guy]]:
*** Season 1: Catalina ("Talking to the wall")
*** Season 2: Suzee ("Smarter than a million books")
Line 97:
** Goddard was actually healed by the penultimate episode and was present for the it and the finale. He makes up for his absence by single handedly saving the crew from the Doppleganger.
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Part of the reason Catalina had to be written out was because Jewel Staite had a commitment to the Disney Channel/Family Channel (CA) series ''[[Flash Forward (TV series)|Flash Forward]]'' (no relation to [[
** Actually, he originally envisioned having Catalina stay dead and have Elmira take her place on the Christa. However, Nickelodeon intervened and squashed that. Some believe this is why Suzee was so much of a [[Creator's Pet]] was that they had to cobble her character together at the last minute.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Harlan and Radu.
