  • Complete Monster: The Horde. One notable example is their practice of the "Highdive", where they'd eject large numbers of captured humans outside the Earth's atmosphere, allowing them to burn up in re-entry so watchers on the ground could see the streaks representing their burning forms.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Many fans felt that the series went downhill after Peter Gillis was replaced by James Hudnall. Hudnall shifted the tone from a character-driven war story to a conventional science-fiction Alien Invasion, quickly killed off Gillis' surviving characters with his own Morituri (complete with unimaginative codenames, such as the pyrokinetic "Burn"), and pulled out a Deus Ex Machina with the arriving VXX199. He also pulled what looks a lot like a political Writer on Board by turning the Padaia One World Order from people doing ruthless things in a truly desperate situation into utter monsters who were deliberately not winning the war so that arms dealers could make money.
