** But not as Savvy as [[TokenMinority Malcom]] who went as far as [[BlackFace Whiteface]] and [[CrazyPrepared wearing a suit of armor,]] to avoid ending up like [[Creator/StanleyKubrick Kubrick's]] [[Film/TheShining version]] of [[TheBlackDudeDiesFirst Dick]] [[DeathByAdaptation Halloran.]]

* AccidentalInnuendo: As he puts it, "I of course am too sophisticated to make any jokes about a tiny little boy talking to a big black Dick but, for the record, I'd like to show you how many opportunities I had to ''make'' a joke." ''(Cue fifteen seconds' worth of dialogue fitting this trope)''

* AllPeriodsArePMS: Snarked on and gender-inverted, as when Critic acts like an abusive dick to Rachel, she snides that 'Aunt Flo' must be in town for him.

** In an example that only makes sense if you've watched the Reloaded reviews, Critic aches for some cupcake vodka when he's starting to suffer from the boredom. That was his DrinkOrder in the PlotHole.

Added DiffLines:

* ShowDontTell: For some odd reason, the mini-series has this idea that ''explaining'' the dangers that lie within their new home, rather than letting the audience ''witness'' said dangers, was a good way to unnerve the audience. [[spoiler:It isn't; if they know the scare is coming, it may lessen the impact of the fright upon seeing the scare.]] The Critic even begs the series to do this.

* VillainousBreakdown: Upon realizing that the mini series and by extension Stephen King did something better than Stanley Kubrik [note] Namely Jack's character. In the mini series we watch Jack transform from a loving but troubled father and husband into an unhinged killer, while Jack Nicholson appears to act the same way at the start of the movie that he does at the end [/note] that he goes into a state of numb shock. Sitting down and eventually freezing to death like Jack in the movie.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the commentary, Doug says he considered asking Noah Antwiler to do a sketch as Jack, due to his resemblance to Stephen Weber, but then figured the video was long enough already.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: During their discussion about the BlackDudeDiesFirst Trope, both Malcolm and Critic agree that the first ''AliensVsPredator'' film isn't a perfect movie, but doesn't deserves the amount of fan hate that it got.
