Line 126:
** A more literal example from Shapiro and his CIA buddies when they realise [[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
* [[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.
Line 154:
* [[UST]]: Davies says that Captain Jack's "unstated love for Gwen Cooper" brings him back to Earth. Rex [[Lampshade Hanging|comments on it]] in "Rendition"; Gwen denies it, but Rex doesn't buy that.
** It's pretty well stated in "Immortal Sins" that [[Anguished Declaration of Love|Jack and Gwen love each other]], but that there are things (the safety of Gwen's daughter, Jack's mortality) that, if threatened, they would kill each other for.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]:
** A minor plot-line surrounding a new cult that developed after the Miracle, the Soulless, seemingly vanished after the third episode. Though, Sarah, Esther's sister, in "End of the Road" appears to be a believer.
** It would seem likely the Soulless were the starters of the 45 floor club, taking the first chance they could get to end their lives by being made Category 1.
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: The world's scientists quickly find out that humanity's new immortality only applies to death itself. Injury, disease, aging, pain, and all those other trappings of life are still in full effect. No matter what happens, no matter how debilitating, [[Fate Worse Than Death|you simply DO NOT DIE]].
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: The show is focused on problems caused by the living dead, and solutions to those problems. [[Genre Blindness]] on this issue was probably enforced to preserve drama and avoid giving viewers an obvious way out of moral dilemmas.
** [[Not Using the Z Word|Category Ones]] may not chase you, but it's pointed out that living-dead can be a source of plague just as easily as the conventionally dead in other types of natural disasters.
