Line 212:
* [[Feed the Mole]]: One of Jack O'Neill's plans for dealing with known Collective agents in the SRI. Played with at the climax of the story, when things become so confused the reader can't be sure who's trustworthy and who's not.
* [[Filk Song]]: Several are provided as part of Castle's end-of-chapter author's notes.
* [[Forced Meme]]: Alex enlists Willow's (and Buffy Summers', and an entire team of people's) help to replace a growing meme she doesn't like ("tera-" as a general intensifier prefix, for good or bad things equally) with one she does like ("tera", meaning "really really good"). Unlike most examples of this trope, the effort succeeds to the extent that most people seem to have entirely forgotten the earlier usage.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: {{spoiler|[[The Iron Giant|"You stay. I go. No following."]]}}
** There are dozens of other examples as well, such as {{spoiler|the repeated mentions that the [[The Cracker|black-hat hacker]] known as "P$ychon4ut" is safely behind bars}}. Or that a character was adopted.
