The Pendragon Adventure: Difference between revisions

**** He may have {{spoiler|targeted Earth at multiple points but it was the actions of the Traveler from Veelox that caused Ibara to have a second chance which Saint Dane had to target.}}

* [[Eternal Sexual Freedom]]: Averted. Bobby and Courtney pretend to be siblings in 1937 because otherwise it would raise eyebrows for them to be staying together at the Manhattan Tower Hotel.

* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Quigs can be identified by their yellow eyes. Or, in the case of Ibara's bees, the yellow glow of their firefly-like rear ends.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: A good lot of the plots are of this type.

* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Various.

* [[Lamarck Was Right]]: {{spoiler|In a way, Nevva Winter is some sort of demigoddess.}}

* [[The Lifestream]]: {{spoiler|Solara}}

* [[Longing Look]]

* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: Veelox's Lifelight.

** Sadly, there's a good bit of this going on in the final book. For example, {{spoiler|in previous books, characters had gone out of their way to acknowledge that they were traveling between territories, not planets. Then, in Soldiers of Halla, this view is revised so that it's clear to everyone that there are seven planets, and that the territories don't matter.}}

* [[Mecha Mooks]]: The dados serve this purpose well: an army that can be killed in vast numbers, but is not technically human.

* [[Near Villain Victory]]: "It's not over until Saint Dane thinks he's won."

* [[New Eden]]: Third Earth.

* [[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}}.

* [[Obstructive Code of Conduct]]: The Travelers are not to bring anything from one territory to another except their own bodies. Saint Dane holds to no such rule, and often manipulates the other Travelers into breaking it.

* [[One Nation Under Copyright]]: All of Quillan, except for those who follow Mr. Pop.

** {{spoiler|It's implied (well, pretty much said) that the clock was rewound all the way back to before each of them became Travelers, so they could life out the lives they would have otherwise had, after what Bobby says to Uncle Press just before the epilogue. So Bobby and Courtney wouldn't have had to deal with the "I'm too busy saving the world and I like Loor" deal, and gotten together.}}

* [[Single Biome Planet]]: Cloral is almost entirely an Ocean, Eelong is largely a jungle, etc.

* [[The Stoic]]: Loor rarely shows emotion. Except for when she does.

* [[Supporting Leader]]: {{spoiler|Both Mark and Courtney in ''Soldiers of Halla.''}}

* [[Three Amigos]]: Bobby, Mark, and Courtney.

* [[Time Travel Tense Trouble]]: The [[Narnia Time]] in effect between the territories occasionally causes this sort of trouble. Usually involving rookie Travelers (We're looking at you, Spader and Siry).

* [[Title Drop]]

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Bobby does this in book 6. Also, {{spoiler|Alder}} by the time book 8 rolls around and {{spoiler|Mark, Courtney, Patrick, and Elli}} in book 10.

{{quote| '''Bobby:''' ''Become Johnny Depp.''}}

* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Saint Dane's tried this ploy as well. Bobby never gives in.

* [[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.
