* NotSoDifferent: When talking to Catherine, Mustafa speculates on the aliens' motives. He concludes that, along with coming to take our planet, they simply might like killing, as many humans have.

** Averted with what's happening in the UK. Sarahand Tom encounter surviving British soldiers securing Hammersmith from the scout bots near the end of the 1st season. These survivors become more prominent in the 2nd season.

* AdamAndEvePlot: [[spoiler:It turns out that all of the aliens are descended from Emily and Sasha's child. However, this is kind of inverted with the fact that the humans try to ''prevent'' this by going back in time. Also, unlike many examples it's a plot point that they have harmful mutations (though ascribed to Emily and Sasha having genetic disorders, realistically inbreeding alone would do it in enough time).]]
