* CharacterCatchphrase:
** "Never give up, never surrender!" was Captain Taggart's catchphrase on the show, and de facto the show's ArcWords; unsurprisingly, Jason has embraced it in real life as well.
** "By Grabthar's Hammer, by the suns of Worvan, you shall be avenged!" and in shorter form, "By Grabthar's hammer!" for Dr. Lazarus. By contrast to Jason, Alexander is absolutely ''sick'' of saying it, and especially of having fans [[PhraseCatcher repeat it to him]].
** "Pedal to the metal!" by Tommy, the pilot.

Added DiffLines:

* VillainRevealsTheSecret: Although Jason is the one who lets Sarris in on the secret that he and the other humans aren't real space adventurers, it is Sarris who then forces him to explain it all to Mathesar in brutal detail. The tragedy is Jason was trying to spare Mathesar more torture, but the pain of the betrayal may well have been worse than what he was enduring before -- which is no doubt why Sarris did it.

Most references are not only “Warven” (as previous edit) but also “suns” not “sons”, which makes sense for a fake Sci-Fi show
