* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Just how affiliated is Zhuang Yan with the PDC? She continually attempts to motivate Luo Ji do do his job and [[spoiler: she eventually allows herself and her child to be entered into hibernation by the PDC until he comes up with a masterplan]]. Luo was more or less manipulated by the PCD to fall in love with her before even knowing she existed. It's possible she was a PDC agent already at that point. [[spoiler: Her having left him by the time of Literature/DeathsEnd could be seen as a case of YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness]].

** First is Rey Diaz's plan to stop the Trisolaran invasion: [[spoiler:threaten to destroy Earth's solar system -- as in, ''[[HurlItIntoTheSun de-orbit every single planet into the sun]]'' -- using strategically-placed hydrogen bombs unless Trisolaris calls off its fleet]]. Small wonder that [[spoiler:he got stoned to death in his native Venezuela, where he'd previously enjoyed a HundredPercentAdorationRating, as soon as word got out]].

* CatharsisFactor: After two books of the Trisolarans being [[AliensAreBastards untouchable, evil bastards]], it's ''immensely'' satisfying to see [[spoiler:Luo Ji finally turn the tables on them]] at the end of ''The Dark Forest'', [[spoiler:getting them to call off their invasion by threatening to SummonBiggerFish and sic them on their homeworld]].
* ItWasHisSled: The [[CosmicHorrorStory Dark Forest Theory]], which was the big twist of book two, is by far the most talked about aspect of the series.

** Second is the sequence in which the "droplet", the first Trisolaran probe to reach the solar system, [[spoiler:[[CurbStompBattle slaughters]] Earth's entire space fleet (two thousand [[MileLongShip stellar-class warships]], each powerful enough on their own to flatten continents) without getting so much as a scratch. The text describes the massacre, and humanity's [[HopelessWar complete inability to resist or even escape]], in horrifying detail]]. Most shocking is the fact that the probe [[spoiler:isn't armed with any conventional weapons: it just takes MadeOfIndestructium to its [[RammingAlwaysWorks logical extreme]]]].
