"To everything that was."

  • John and Victor's warm conversation as the moon approaches the Black Sun and their conversation with the "cosmic intelligence" as they go through. Particularly Victor gently protesting John's toast to "what could have been" and insisting they toast to "what was".
  • The ending of "The Metamorph". Following the destruction of her homeworld Psychon, Maya tearfully laments that on any other world, she'd be an alien. Koenig then gently reminds her that, "we're all aliens until we get to know one another."
  • Victor's farewell recording in "War Games", where he gives a brief history of Alpha, explains why humans were in space to begin with (to learn) and gives a soft plea that someone someday find the log is almost as touching as Blade Runner's "Tears in Rain" speech. The themes are so similar that Victor's speech almost feels like a forerunner to "Tears in Rain".
