->- ''We are nothing if not absurd. We are nothing.''

* BeautifulVoid: ZigZagged as the {{Narrator}} vacillates in describing her surroundings with her shifts in mood. In "Omelet," the Narrator ambivalently [[FauxlosophicNarration meditates]] on the nature of the night sky, and whether its more apt to describe it as "beautiful," or "nothing." In context, she's musing wistfully and nihilistically in the aftermath of being traumatized by a HumanoidAbomination stalker. Subsequently, she articulates a mild fear of particularly [[NothingIsScarier empty]] vistas like flatlands, until in "Nothing to See," she's actually ''relieved'' by the pleasant way Kansas grasslands offer "[[TitleDrop nothing to see]]." Then she hears [[DangerTakesABackseat noises]] from her trailer, and her fear and isolation are underscored yet again.

[[caption-width-right:350:There are times I hate you more than any of them, Alice.]]

* NotSoOmniscientAfterAll: The whole of season 2 has the BigBad appear as such a threat because she's always stalking the narrator, knows way too much about her, and can follow her anywhere. And then during her attempted BreakThemByTalking moment in episode 10, [[spoiler: she mocks the narrator for believing she "has a role to play" as a baseless assumption- except it ISN'T an assumption, as the Oracle was the one who told the Narrator of this, word for word in an earlier episode. It seems that the BigBad conspiracy has been following everything the Narrator does, EXCEPT anything related to Prexton.]]

* EvilTowerOfOminousness: In "Omelet," the Narrator is disturbed by the strange, unreal [[AlienGeometries visual quality]] of a tower she sees incongruously jutting out of a hillside in the distance.

** In "Omelet," the Narrator [[DiscussedTrope observes]] one of these from a distance, commenting on how very creepy an EvilTowerOfOminousness looks from her vantage point driving past it in her truck.

* RammingAlwaysWorks: The black boat in season 2 episode 2 is sunk when a mundane cargo ship crushes it. Though the cargo ship starts sinking too, slowly enough for the crew to be evacuated.

* GhostShip: One's featured in episode 2 of season 2. It's been floating at the mouth of the Columbia River for over 30 years with no visible crew or anything holding it in place, and anyone who tries to investigate it disappears. [[spoiler:It's destroyed at the end of the episode when a cargo ship collides with it]].
