Line 1:

* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: [[Summer Glau]] and [[Keith David]]? You mean we get [[Firefly|River Tam]]/[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles|Cameron]] and [[Modern Warfare|Sergeant Foley]]/[[Mass Effect|David Anderson]]/[[Gargoyles|Goliath]]/[[The Princess and the Frog|Doctor Facilier]] on the same screen together? ''Hell yes.'' And [[Bear McCreary]] is doing the score!
** [[Bear McCreary]] has more resources to work with, namely a live traditional studio orchestra to match the retro orchestral scores of superhero movies (which in themselves are retro homages to early Hollywood action movies, which in turn are inspired by late Romantic symphonies and tone poems). On ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' and ''[[Caprica]]'' he was fairly limited to whatever unconventional instruments he could find or play himself, which led to a much more musically unique (for US TV) soundtrack.
*** Perhaps a remnant of ''BSG'', ''The Cape''{{'}}s theme opens up with a brief erhu (Chinese bowed instrument used frequently in the score to BSG) passage.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Chess, and by extension Peter Fleming, though the latter has shades of [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] to him. It's hard to tell whether Chess and Fleming are a case of a split personality.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [[Bear McCreary]], duh. And a two-disc soundtrack album to boot!
** And in a crossover with [[Fan Service]], La-La Land Records has this troper's eternal thanks for including [http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_full_width_scaled/hash/a0/eb/a0eb91955280ce1de51985b9f28023de.JPG this]{{Dead link}} in the booklet.
* [[Jerkass]]: Rollo
**
* [[Large Ham]]: [[Keith David]] as Max, the bank robber with a flair for theatrics
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Raia. Orwell too, with some her disguises and outfits.
Line 14:
* [[Too Good to Last]]: Cut from 13 to 10 episodes, then canceled, due to ratings for the first episode being okay, then tanking for subsequent episodes.
