* [[Apocalypse How]]: Class 5. The destruction of both Peace Platforms destroys the atmosphere of Earth, killing off all life.
** Before the [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]] shown in ''Tomorrow's End'', the original apocalypse only destroyed one of the Peace Platforms, devastating the Northern Hemisphere only. Perhaps a Class 0.5
* [[After the End]]: The Year 2500.
* [[A Little Something We Call "Rock and Roll"]]: Irene Kelly tells Alana that maybe there are things that she can learn from 1990, in the scene after Jenny Kelly plays her some music on the radio which Alana and they both start dancing in the shop.
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: The people of the thirty-first century use telepathically-controlled "Transducers" to do most things, from the elimination of manual labour to healing wounds to blowing things up.
* [[Blasting It Out of Their Hands]]: A variant: instead of using a gun, a Transducer is used to heat the gun up, forcing Silverthorn to drop it.
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]: Alana, Silverthorn, Jenny {{spoiler|and later Lorien and Nik}}
** Played straight with Alana but subverted with Silverthorn. Though his future is more advanced, it is also resource scarce and largely corrupt. With the time machine's databanks, his own knowledge, and his ruthlessness, he takes to the early 90's like a pirahna in a goldfish bowl.
* [[Meanwhile in
* [[Only One Name]]: Everyone in the future.
* [[Our Showers Are Different]]: Alana's time has a "shower" that consists of a band of light running up the body. It even removes 20th-century permanent hair dye because it is recognised as dirt.
* [[Portal to
* [[Power Incontinence]] - What happens when emotionally unstable people use Transducers
* [[The Quincy Punk]]: Spider, Mr Silverthorn's chauffeur/henchman.
* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]: The premise of the second season.
* [[Timey
** To elaborate: Tulista goes to the year 2500, and returns with Silverthorn. Silverthorn takes Alana back to 1990, where he alters history with his own ruthlessness. Despite this, his own time remains unaltered. After a battle leaves Silverthorn and Jenny both injured, Alana's forced to take them both back to the year 3000 to heal. ''This simple act'' should have been impossible, as the 3000 from whence Alana hails should no longer exist. Nevertheless, it happens, setting up the temporal paradoxes to be resolved in the [[Sequel Series]].
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Alana's "Smog it", Silverthorn's "scragger".
