Line 19:
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: {{spoiler|Fairhaven becomes obsessed with immortality as a result of watching his older brother die a horrible death from old age at ''sixteen'' thanks to progeria.}}
* [[Hot Scientist]]: The cops questioning Nora perk up and try to be suave with her when they are shocked to see a rather attractive young woman after the stream of "geek" types they've been interviewing.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: {{spoiler|Leng's ultimate motivation. He wished to extend his own life to have the ''time'' to figure out how to wipe out humanity. When he witnessed what nuclear weapons could do, he abandoned his quest realizing that the horribleness of humanity would eventually destroy itself.}}
* [[Immortality Immorality]]: Pendergast is given the reasoning that the immortality formula can only lead to disaster. If it is held by the few privileged, the masses would eventually revolt in demanding it's wide availability. If it is widely available, it would lead directly to overpopulation. In either scenario, the potential for horrible people to gain extra decades and even centuries to ply their evil is unacceptable.
* [[Jack the Ripoff]]: The modern murders are pegged as copycat killings of the original 1880s murders.
