Space: Above and Beyond/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Between the bits of "skin" that have flaked off from lack of maintenance and the fact that they all have crosshairs in place of ordinary-looking irises and pupils ([[Fridge Logic|even the]] [[Sex Bot]] [[Squick|models]]) the Silicates invoke this trope pretty heavily.

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Wang is the one Asian guy in the squadron. He is often portrayed as being nervous or afraid, is unable to issue a Marine Corps [[Battle Cry]] during the pilot episode, and is the guy who gives a false confession while being tortured, and later {{spoiler|collaborates with a group of Silicates and secretly gives them some of his squad's sparse and much-needed equipment in order to prevent the confession from being used against him.}} Joel De La Fuente, the actor who played him, complained about this.

** Also, when an almost unstoppable alien enemy force finally decides to negotiate, you don't get all irrational and emotional, endangering the talks. And you ''especially'' don't allow the negotiator to get killed. Geesh...

*** Even more so when said negotiator outright tells you they know all about your "war ending" battle plan and only enter into talks because it might damage their holy breeding grounds.
