Added DiffLines:

* BlatantLies: The Critchelites are pathological liars who tell Jack a completely made up history of their people to paint themselves as heroic survivalists whose ancestors turned a barren wasteland into a beautiful oasis. In reality, they are recent arrivals who simply conquered an already prosperous village and forced it's inhabitants into slavery due to their technological advantage over them.
** They also paint the Woolies as dangerous animals that ''need'' to be subjugated for the Critchelites' safety, with one obnoxiously claiming the Woolies "nearly drove them (The Critchelites) to extinction." In reality the Woolies were a peaceful and eloquent people who enjoyed a picture perfect life before the Critchelites swept in like a plague and stole all they worked for.

* YouCanTalk: Jack initially believes that the Woolies are mistreated animals and, while disturbed by their treatment, doesn't want to judge his hosts on how they live their lives.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When Jack [[HairpinLockpick uses his hairpin to pick the lock]] on the Woolie enclosure, his hair is let down and it only barely reaches his shoulders. Later episodes would make Jack's hair [[CompressedHair much longer than it looks]], going down to the middle of his back.

* BlatantLies: The Chritchellites claim to Jack that the Woolies were evil, bloodthirsty creatures that attacked their ancestors land until their species were able to tame them. The truth is that the Woolies were the original inhabitants of the land and the Chritchellites are AlienInvaders who enslaved their species to be used as menial labour.
