Line 30:
* [[Dawson Casting]]
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|Megan after killing almost everyone in Valhalla, followed by [[Driven to Suicide]]}}
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: In "The Question", Mr. Smith offers one guaranteed miracle from God if Marcus, Kurdy, and Jeremiah ask for it and wait at an appointed place in time. {{spoiler|In the end, Mr. Smith is the only one to do so and the only one to receive his miracle. Then again, bringing someone [[Back
** Note that, as with everything else Mr. Smith does, the question of whether this was actually divine intervention or not is deliberately left open.
* {{spoiler|[[Disaster Democracy]] and [[Divided States of America]]: the US government has been undercover in Valhalla all this time.}}
Line 47:
* [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]]: The religious group from "Journeys End at Lovers Meeting". Did they actually [[Ascend To Another Plane Of Existence]]? Or... {{spoiler|did they kill everyone out on a boat, to keep the miracle illusion?}}
** See also: literally everything related to Mister Smith. Every miracle or instance of divine intervention he witnesses always has a convenient mundane explanation, even if it's a somewhat unlikely one.
* [[Mission
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]: Lee, Megan, Libby}}
* [[Mysterious Past]]: Mr. Smith, most likely a [[Dark and Troubled Past]] too."I have some issues ... One of thousands. Would you like to hear them alphabetically or in order of psychic trauma?"
Line 60:
* [[The Pornomancer]]: Jeremiah himself, who manages to sleep with virtually every woman he encounters over the course of the series.
* {{spoiler|[[President Evil]]}}
* [[Rage Against the Heavens]]: One of the best ones ever, after a particularly heroic and innocent person dies. This rant is directed at Michaelangelo's ''Genesis'':
{{quote|'''Jeremiah''' ''Are you happy? Are you satisfied? That's how it works, isn't it? You set us up, you take someone like him, and you give him hope, so you can take it away again? What did he do to you? What did any of us ever do to you? What did the whole fucking world do to you, that we deserve all of this? What, the locusts and the death of the firstborn wasn't good enough for you anymore so now it's the death of the eldest? Death of heroes? You know what? Fuck you. Because we're not just going to lay down and die here anymore. You want to finish off the job? Come down here! Do it yourself! You send the angel of death, you better give him one hell of a big sword, 'cause I tell you what; we are going to kick his ass right back to the great white fucking throne! And then we're coming for you. We're coming for you. ''}}
Line 68:
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Theo
* [[Sassy Black Woman]]: Theo again.
* [[Screwed by the Network]]: Season 2 was split in half by the network, with the two halves airing months apart (Initially the second half only aired in Canada). Fans and viewers were mostly kept in the dark about the fate of the remaining episode. Creator J. Michael Straczynski eventually got so fed up with the amount of control the network was exercising over the series that he declared he would not be involved in any further developments.
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: Megan and Marcus, one of the worst cases when you think about it.
* [[Stargate City]]: They even use the [[Stargate SG-1|SGC]] as their HQ!
Line 77:
* [[Those Wacky Nazis]]: Specifically, ''neo''-Nazis; several different groups of them are encountered over the course of the series, and it's mentioned in a throwaway line of background dialogue that one particularly powerful neo-Nazi group controls almost all of Montana.
* [[Typhoid Mary]]: Megan; she even [[Lampshade Hanging|explicitly refers to herself as such]] at one point.
* [[Unlimited Wardrobe]]: Where the heck does Libby get all of those [[Fan Service]] outfits? Heck, where does all of Jeremiah's unlimited ''paper'' come from?
* [[Walking the Earth]]: As much of it as can be reached from their home base on a single tank of gasoline, anyway.
* [[Wicked Cultured]]: Sims
