** There are "link" devices that act as a combination cell phone and video camera with internet access, and they can be voice operated. A characters wears such a device to a wedding so she can stream the event live to relatives that couldn't make it. While nothing exactly like the link exists yet (it was vaguely described as hooking over someone's ear), all of these capabilities are achievable with smartphones, and livestreaming events online is a common practice.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: ''Mutation''[='=]s cover art [[https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1468433783l/343175._SX318_.jpg features Kubrick]], a character who had his skin removed and replaced with a translucent film, rendering his muscles and organs visible. Mercifully, the cover is not that graphic, but you can still through the skin on his face. Kubrick's pose subtly conveys his discomfort with him moving his hands along his now unnaturally smooth skin.



* SpecialEffectFailure: The cover art ranges from "pretty good" to "obviously just a Photoshop filter". Compare Kubrick on ''Mutation's'' [[https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1468433783l/343175._SX318_.jpg cover art]] to 2Face on ''Nowhere Land's'' [[http://img1.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n11/n55007.jpg cover art]].

Even the oceans appear to be unaffected.

* NightmareFuel: The entirety of Tali's SanitySlippage [[spoiler:by the Precursor's echo]]. It starts off with just headaches and blackouts. Then her negative emotions start getting the better of her as she starts seeing hallucinations everywhere. ''Then'' [[spoiler:it actually starts talking, taunting, and manipulating her, using her own memories and repressed emotions against her as it causes her to lash out against the crews and work to spending them all to a specific coordinate (heavily implied to be Delta Halo where the Gravemind is) under the guise of her thinking it's the only way she can kill it.]] Luckily, she manages to break through it, but it provides some ''very'' dark imagery.

* TheChrisCarterEffect: Infamously. While the first half of the series is pretty tightly plotted, once Te is defeated and the treaty is signed, the second half of the series increasingly begins to fall apart. Character arcs go nowhere, there's a ''lot'' of {{Plot Hole}}s, lots of unanswered questions (Why [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands do they have super powers]]? Who or what is the Ancient Enemy? What happened to the Shiprights?), and the plot becomes increasingly incomprehensible and confusing leading up to a GainaxEnding. The series even seems to be aware this is happening; Jobs repeatedly insists he saw Earth ''break apart'' into pieces in the first book, and he did, but somehow Earth is intact and still has people living on it.
