The Pendragon Adventure: Difference between revisions

Line 110:

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Bobby's first screw up was the turning point for Denduron. {{spoiler|[[Everything Is Better With Explosions|Tak]] while discovered by the rebels, had not been able to be used in huge amounts besides pea-sized amounts for their slingshots. However, due to Bobby bringing his flashlight with him from second earth, had made the rebels find a way to harness more Tak to create a Bomb.}} Yeah, [[Sarcasm Mode|Nice Job, Bobby.]]

* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: {{spoiler|Whenever Saint Dane "dies" he just turns into smoke and reforms elsewhere.}}

* [[No Paper Future]]: Third Earth prominently features voice-controlled supercomputers with holographic displays. The one real book on display in the New York Library is a copy of ''Green Eggs & Ham'', to serve as a reminder.

* [[Not Quite Dead]]: {{spoiler|Loque, ''Raven Rise''}}

* [[Not So Different]]: This happens ''a lot''. Makes even more sense when you learn about {{spoiler|Solara}}.

Line 134:

* [[Refusal of the Call]]: Elli Winter was supposed to be the Traveler from Quillan, but she turned down the position because she felt she wasn't ready.

* [[La Résistance]]: The Milago people in ''The Merchant of Death'', the revivers in ''The Quillan Games''. The Yanks in ''The Soldiers of Halla''.

* [[Ret Gone]]: The fate of any Traveler.

* [[Ret-Gone]]: The fate of any Traveler.

* [[Ripple Effect Proof Memory]]: All Travelers have it, as does anyone who is on another territory at the time, which is good when things start changing severely in the latter half of the series.

* [[Rousseau Was Right]]: {{spoiler|Solara, the spirit of mankind formed by the existence of sentience, is usually good in nature. In order for Saint Dane's plan to fully work, he needs to change the nature of humanity itself}}.

* [[Sci Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]]: Out of the infinite number of habitable planets in the universe, technological civilizations arose on only seven. Six of these civilizations are exclusively human. Just let that sink in.

** {{spoiler|Given the nature of Halla, it is possible that the people who created the universe did this intentionally}}

** {{spoiler|That may very well be. Still doesn't make it any less ridiculous, though.}}

Line 158:

* [[Totally Radical]]: The worst parts of the books.

* [[Tournament Arc]]: The Quillan Games' Grand X.

* [[Tricked Out Time]]: The Travelers destroy the Hindenberg. Otherwise, German spies would have stolen secrets to the atom bomb and won WWII.

* [[Tsundere]]: Aja to a certain extent.

* [[Unperson]]: What happens to Bobby and possibly the other Travelers when they begin their journeys. In Bobby's case, his records are stricken from any school or government database, his phone number (complete with graffiti) is stricken from the phone book, heck, even Bobby's ''house'' is erased from existence, leaving an empty lot where the house once stood. The only records still around are people's memories of the Traveler and their journals.

Line 172:

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: In many fanart pictures of Saint Dane, he is drawn as an almost exact replica of [[Final Fantasy VII|Sephiroth]]. That is until he becomes all powerful and all his hair gets burned off. However, the book describes him as old and unattractive in his white-haired and bald stages. In ''The Soldiers of Halla'', with all his new energy, he looks young and handsome and his hair returns, but it's black.

* [[Write Back to The Future]]: The setup for ''The Never War''.

* [[X Meets Y]]: This has been described as [[Harry Potter]]'s American cousin meets ''[[Stargate]]'' (the whole franchise) meets ''[[The Time Tunnel (TV)|The Time Tunnel]]'' meets ''[[~~Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|~~Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'' with bits of ''[[Back to The Future (Film)|Back to The Future]]'', ''[[The Matrix (Film)|The Matrix]]'', ''[[Planet of the Apes]]'', and ''[[The Godfather (Film)|The Godfather]]'' thrown in for good measure.
