* DifferentWorldDifferentMovies: The ElaborateUndergroundBase contains books, music and technology from the AlternateHistory it's originated from -- such as the novelisation of ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'' by Creator/StanleyKubrick and ''Creator/RayBradbury''; however, this serves to weaken the perspective of those inside it and get them to accept its reality. At one point, Jeperson begins to think he's going senile because of it.

Asskicking Leads To Leadership is the new name of the trope.


* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: The long-departed native Skerrans were a matriarchal society in miniature, with leadership being up for grabs if any woman could best the current leader (Droning) in a no-holds-barred fight. [[spoiler: Stacy winds up becoming the new Droning when she defeats Miss Kill, although she certainly doesn't intend to claim the title of a frigid island with nothing but nasty goats and worse memories.]]
