Line 48:
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: In the first couple of episodes, we meet a few of Esther's CIA Watch coworkers. In Episode 8, {{spoiler|one of them is revealed to be a [[The Mole|mole]] for the Families}}.
* [[The Conspiracy]]: The surface is still barely scratched by Episode 6
* [[Continuity Nod]]: The brainworm in the Episode 7 flashback is one of the [[The Sarah Jane Adventures|Trickster's]] [[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S4S30/E11 Turn Left|Brigade]].
** UNIT, the Silurians and the Racnoss also get mentioned at one point or another.
** And, of course, the Doctor.
Line 108:
* [[Kill the Cutie]]: {{spoiler|Poor, poor Esther... But really, of course Torchwood would kill the nice likeable character. After [[Break the Cutie|slowly destroying her]]}}.
* [[Kill the Ones You Love]]: Gwen ''technically'' kills {{spoiler|her father, Esther and (temporarily) Jack and Rex}}, as the Families are quick to point out to her.
* [["London, England" Syndrome]]: Possibly due to it being a US-UK production, both sides of the Atlantic get this treatment.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Oswald Danes. You can't deny he spends most of his on-screen time manipulating other people to his advantage. Nor can you deny he's a bastard.
* [[Man of Wealth and Taste]]: Discussed and Defied.
{{quote|'''Stuart Owens:''' You think I'm the [[Complete Monster|epitome of evil]]. The devil in a three-piece suit.
'''Captain Jack:''' [[Genre Savvy|In my experience, that's how it normally works.]]}}
* [[Murder by Cremation]]
Line 123:
** A more literal example from Shapiro and his CIA buddies when they realize [[The Mole]] is {{spoiler|Charlotte}}... and has left them [[Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb|a package.]]
{{quote|'''Shapiro:''' ''[stares at computer screen, then looks up to see the bag right next to him.]'' "Oh '''fuck'''!"}}
* [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]]: "Hey, guess what? ''{{spoiler|[[Prepare to Die|Death came back]]}}''.}}"
* [[Putting the Band Back Together]]: Well, what's left of the the band, anyway.
* [[Queer People Are Funny]]: The banter between Rex and Jack, but especially the tormenting of the steward in Episode 2.
