Line 39:
* [[Genius Ditz]]: ''Carolinus'', of all people.
** Justified, since magic is beginning to fade.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: At Hell's Way Inn (itself a GCPTR incident), as the humans are about to turn in, Danielle mentions that they may not live to see another night. Cue her and Sir Orrin walking out [[Pre
* [[Hand Wave]]: Melisande's recovery from her strange pseudo-coma. Carolinus believes it to have been Ommadon's crown which revived her, having been brought to her by Peter after the battle, adding that her revival was foretold by prophecy. Not only was that prophecy ''never before mentioned'', but if he knew that was the case, why was he so upset when she first went into the coma?
** Practically ''everything'' about Melisande was handwaved. Who were her parents, who were murdered when she was a child? She's apparently a princess, so how did Carolinus end up as her guardian? Where exactly is the kingdom she's a princess ''of'', and who is running it? Why does she wear giant seashells on either side of her head?
Line 46:
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Both played straight and averted. There are two heroes, and one ends up with the redhead, and the other gets the blonde.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Smrgol.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Fans of [[The Seventies|Seventies]] TV will not only recognize John Ritter (Peter) as Jack Tripper from ''[[Three's Company (TV)|Threes Company]]'', but also Harry Morgan (Carolinus) as Colonel Potter from ''[[MASH|M*A*S*H]]'' (if not as [[Dragnet|Joe Friday]]'s partner) and James Gregory (Smrgol) as Inspector Luger from ''[[Barney Miller]]'' (if not as the Gorilla General from ''[[Planet of the Apes]]''). Going back a little farther, Victor Buono (Aragh) was the villainous King Tut on ''[[Batman (TV)|Batman]]''. And need one even mention [[James Earl Jones]]?
* [[I Fell for Hours]]: "Actually, it's been more like ten centuries!"
* [[Improbable Hairstyle]]: Melisande's long blonde hair is beautiful...except for the part where it looks like she's wearing gigantic seashells on either side of her head.
