Recap / Godzilla The Series S 1 E 1 New Family Part 1

Go To

Godzilla is killed and the world is saved from his threat. Nick Tatopoulos however is unsure about that and returns to Godzilla's nest to find an unexpected surprise.


This page contains the following tropes:

  • All Animals Are Dogs: Right when Nick tosses his jacket away to distract him and closes the door, the big and monstrous marine iguana by then, lightly scratches the door, walks in a circle, lies down, and starts moaning/whining, which is a behavioral trait that is likely no different than any other dog that will likely do similar actions and misses their owners.
  • Cliffhanger: The military arrives to attack Godzilla Jr who flees into the ocean to escape. Nick watches in horror as Godzilla Jr is seemingly killed by them.
  • Fun with Acronyms: When Craven introduces N.I.G.E.L (Next-Millennium Intelligence Gathering Electronic Liaison).
    Randy: Wouldn't that be Nmigel?
  • Give Me a Reason: Nick asks this to Elsie who is about to call the military on Godzilla Jr.
    Nick: Why the rush to destroy your only living specimen?
    Elsie: Common sense.
    Mendel: Past experience.
    Randy: 23 billion in property damages from his old man.
  • Immediate Sequel: The episode takes place right after the end of the 1998 film where Godzilla dies.
  • Militaries Are Useless: Nick lampshades their inability to find the Godzilla infant and fears the movie's events will be repeated all over again.
  • Oh, Crap!:
    • Nick and the others has this when the Godzilla infant has grown considerably bigger than they expected.
    • Audrey and Animal, when they accidentally awake Godzilla Jr.
  • Properly Paranoid:
    • Nick warns Hicks to have his men check Madison Square Garden in case the jets' raid missed any of the Godzilla eggs. He's proven correct.
    • Downplayed. Audrey correctly suspects her boyfriend is hiding something from her. However, this is less about her thinking he possesses a giant monster as a pet and more wary of Elsie being too close to Nick.
