* [[Alas, Poor Scrappy]]: Owen, twice. His first death arguably got him [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]].

Line 24:

* [[Running the Asylum]]: Here's a challenge -- find a review that ''doesn't'' compare this show to [[Fan Fiction]].

* [[The Scrappy]]: Owen, especially in series 1.

* [[Strangled By the Red String]]: Owen going bananas over Diane after knowing her for all of a week. The overly romantic light that Jack and his relationship with the real Jack Harkness was painted in might count too, as they only know each other for a couple of hours. Ianto went from wanting Jack dead to being his lover in a few episodes with little on-screen development.

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Owen uses a cologne that gets people interested in him in the first episode. A high-tech date rape drug, in other words. [[Fridge Horror]] for some... And immediate horror for others. Has to be chalked up to [[Early Installment Weirdness|first episode weirdness]] to have Owen be anything other than a villain.

* [[The Woobie]]:

** The 'cash cow' from Meat. Also the main alien from spin-off novel [[Nothing Is Scarier|'Into The Silence']]. The latter also counts as a [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]], and the way in which it finds refuge is oddly [[Heartwarming Moments]][[Tear Jerker|warming]].

** Practically all the cast do this at some point.

* [[Writer On Board]]: The show tends to come off as aggressively atheist. Jack refers to religion as superstition and rants about how primitive cultures cling to anything that denies the randomness of existence. It's repeatedly stated that there is no afterlife, and anyone with a belief in some form of deity is shot down as either naive or just plain wrong.
