* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Played straight and then subverted. Zenon's suspicions about Wyndham and Lutz fall on the deaf ears of her parents and Commander Plank. The subversion is that after Zenon tells Mark and Astrid about the virus on the space station, they believe her (somewhat), but they cannot figure out the problem.
* [[Almost Kiss]]: Zenon and Greg are sitting side-by-side, facing the same direction, with awkward silence. Zenon tells Greg if he wants to kiss her he should get over it and just kiss her. After a pause, they both turn towards each other at the same time - and accidentally smash their faces into each other.
* [[Artificial Gravity]]
* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: In the sequel that introduces aliens, Zenon deduces that the aliens are good, with no irony, because their spaceship is too beautiful for them to be evil (it looked like a rainbow butterfly thing). She was right of course.
* [[Bigger
* [[British Rock Star]]: Protozoa.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Zetus Lupetis!"

* [[Future Spandex]]: Many of the characters wear spandex and other form-fitting materials.
* [[A Good Name for
* [[Hollywood Science]]
* [[The Metric System Is Here to Stay]]: Zenon is from a space station, but when she arrives on Earth, she explodes a test tube because she was thinking in Celsius when all the instructions were in Fahrenheit. [[Critical Research Failure|In a science class]].
