12	* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler: In the final episode, the Brats manage to destroy the machine the Hosts use to control the Eye, sending the Shock forces into disarray, and Duncan gets into contact with his grandfather and learns where he is. But as Lavana points out, the Hosts have only gone into hibernation, and Vigar escaped with Faboo, meaning the Brats' mission isn't done yet.]]

19	* InsaneTrollLogic: In "The Acceptors", the Brats try to save a cult called The Acceptors, who accept anything, including the destruction of their own planet. When the Brats try to save them, pointing out that the Acceptors have to accept their salvation, this puts the cult in a conundrum; how to accept two things that contradict each other? The cult leader concludes that the best way is to destroy the Brats' ship, so they only have one thing to accept- destruction! When the cult's members flee, leaving only the leader, he realizes that since a cult can't have one member, there is no cult, and if there is no cult, he doesn't have to accept destruction, and flees as well.
20	* IWillFindYou: The Brats are mostly trying to find their lost families, whom they became separated from while trying to escape from the Shock.

30	* TotallyRadical: The writing's attempts at things teenagers might say can be so bad it embarrasses the viewer on their behalf sometimes, like when the brats find their hideout, and Triply exclaims "This place is so cool, it makes cool look uncool!"

31	* TwoGirlsToATeam: The boys are Zadam, Duncan, and Ryle. The girls are Triply and Lavana.
32	* WingedHumanoid: Lavana is a humanoid with large butterfly wings on her back of the fairy-like variety.
