- Alas, Poor Scrappy: Debbie is annoying but her death is a real Tear Jerker.
- Arc Fatigue: The time spent in Raffles during season three is generally agreed to be much less interesting than the camp episodes.
- Moral Event Horizon: Several:
- Verna and Miss. Hasan hoarding desperately needed food and medical supplies. Verna giving eggs and milk to her cat while her fellow prisoners starve is particularly painful.
- Lillian informing on Rose which kicks off a chain of events that leads to a painful death for the latter.
- Yamauchi keeping back medical supplies from the camp.
- Nightmare Fuel: The situation by itself is pure nightmare fuel. A specific example is Maggie's description of Blanche's death by beri-beri.
- The Scrappy: The ever hysterical Debbie. Yes, her behaviour is realistic. No, that doesn't make it any less teeth grinding to watch.
- Special Effect Failure: The make-up artists did their best to make the women look starved and overworked, but they all still look remarkably healthy under the paint.
