Line 17:
* [[Batman Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Schmidt's arms deal was arranged only so it could be thwarted by Anna and give the Austrians and Germans an excuse to go to war with Serbia. It fails if either Anna dies, Schmidt cancels the deal, or Cath pushes the train on to Constantinople}}.
* [[Big No]]: {{spoiler|When you blow the whistle at the end}}.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Although French, German and Russian dialogue has subtitles, there are none for Serbo-Croatian or Arabic, neither of which Cath knows. Also, although Cath can speak Russian, he apparently cannot read Cyrillic script and needs one of the Russian-speakers to translate the fairytale for him.
* [[Bilingual Dialogue]]: Done to the extreme.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Tatiana. Let's start with the fact that her grandfather is a Czarist, and her lover is an anarchist bomber and say [[It Got Worse|it only gets worse]] from there.
Line 44 ⟶ 43:
** Kronos is also particularly mysterious. His descent and what title he has to be addressed as "his excellency" is unclear, along with how he knows what's ''really'' going on in general, including knowing Cath's name and that he masquerading as Whitney from the outset, or why (aside from an passion for knowledge) he wants anything to do with the Firebird.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: "Still angry about Cuba."
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: George Abbot, bumbling British businessman... and spy. Also applies to Cath. All of the French people on the train (except François, the little boy) assume he cannot speak French. This lets him eavesdrop on their conversations very easily.
* [[Orient Express]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|A fictionalized account of its final run]].
* [[Police Are Useless]]: The Orient Express has to leave the station on time. Even when a body was found near the tracks. Even when every passenger on the train has been located except one.
