* [[Badass Grandpa]]: The slug turns Admiral Quinn into this, as he beats the crap out of Riker, throws Geordi through a door, and Worf over a table.
* [[Bloodier and Gorier]]: At least as close as the PG rating would allow. We do see a man's body blown open and [[Your Head Asplode|his head blown off]].
* [[Body Horror]]: Good '''God,''' the mother-alien hiding underneath Remmick. And before that, we "get" to see Remmick's head explode. This is ''not'' your average ''TNG'' episode.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Everyone affected by the slugs.
* [[Fake Defector]]: Riker fakes being infected by the slugs so he can get into the conference room and help Picard. It fooled ''everybody,'' Picard included.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: An extremely, extremely longtermlong-term version of it. The signal sent to the Delta Quadrant would be followed up on not in ''[[Voyager]]'', but in the ''Delta Rising'' expansion of [[Star Trek Online]]. (NotThe countingnovelverse theEU ratherinstead nonsensicalconsidered versionthem ina theTrill novelverseoffshoot EU,in wherecontradiction to the writersSTO apparentlyplot. thoughtGiven "Wellboth they'reare parasites[[Broad thatStrokes]] gocanon intoto humanoidsthe televised series, justit likeis Trillhard symbiotes...to [[Idiotsay Plot|mustwhich beis actually canon. related]]!")
* [[Spotting the Thread]]: A key tell the people with the parasites are not themselves (aside from the telltale neck protrusion that is not visible unless you know where to look) is problems with memory. Quinn winds up tipping Picard off something is wrong when he refers back to when they first were introduced and Quinn's response is completely wrong.
