At first it may seem odd that pirates and bounty hunters dress as elegantly as the princesses and emperors. But the narrator says, at the very beginning, "Water is the only thing left of value." Gold, jewels, and fine fabrics are probably cheap trinkets in this world, where water is what defines rich from poor.
Why the Space Herpe hatched from its egg in the first place: the inventory warned that the egg must be kept away from moisture. The ship is carrying tons of water.
No wonder Karina has such a feisty personality; look at the nanny who raised her!
The scene where Roscoe swings down from a rope and kicks Wendon's head off, revealing that his body from the neck down is artificial. We are never told how Roscoe knew this. But if you've been paying attention throughout the movie, you don't have to be told; Roscoe is a robot expert. Even a regular person can tell that something seems off about Wendon's body and how he moves; Rosco probably knew all about this sort of prosthetic body, and how to detach a living head from it.
The fates of the three sections of Jason's first pirate ship, after splitting up. It might seem contrived for the section containing the lead characters to get captured, while the secondary characters escape to reunite later on, and the third section containing nameless extras is destroyed. But Maida is the ship's main pilot—and one who would later prove capable of maneuvering through the Time Warp, at that! It's expected that the vessel with her at the helm would have the best chance at out-maneuvering the Templars, while the segment with the presumably least experienced, lower ranking pirates would have the smallest chance of survival.
The one-eyed thug at the bar wasn't "insisting" on a "dance" with Karina just to be a creep. As we learn in the next scene, he's a bounty hunter. He was trying to take her into custody to collect the reward on her head!
It may seem like a Deus ex Machina that the villains entered the Time Warp one degree off-course, but it actually should have been expected; they were trying to board the pirates' ship! The right thing to do would have been to enter the Time Warp directly behind the pirates, matching their exact course, and worry about attacking them after the trip through the Time Warp was finished. But Zorn foolishly tried to do both at once, kill the pirates on the way to the Seventh World. His haste and overconfidence is what killed him and his crew.
The audience is glad to see Nanny, Killjoy, and Zeno alive and well at the end, despite having died in the Time Warp. But if everyone who died in the Time Warp is restored to life once the ship is out of it, then that should include the Space Herpe!
