Improvised Bandage: Blake uses her sleeves to make bandages for wounded Tucker, but that's too little, too late.

Visionary Villain: Gibson is simply sticking to his original mission objective, or at least as close as he can under the circumstances. This means securing as much ground for the return of Keplers' as possible, and if all fails, at least restore order before he dies of old age.

Wasteland Warlord: Gibson, the last survivor of the first expedition back to Earth, rules over the "Muds" as a benevolent dictator, but it doesn't take much to make him violent, and he views his people as little more than breeding stock for when his fellow residents of Kepler-209 arrive.

Black Guy Dies First: Blake (a white woman) and Tucker (a black man) are the only survivors of Ulysses 2's disastrous landing. Soon enough, only Blake is left.

comment
Broken Pedestal: After pretty much drilling into young Louise the importance of self-sacrifice and the overarching goal of saving people on Kepler, it turns out it was her father who intentionally jeopardised the original mission to Earth due to a sudden change of heart. Blake is thoroughly disillusioned with her father as a result, after having spent her entire life celebrating him as a heroic figure.

 The Colony (2021) / int_954ad71c
comment
Evil Colonialist: The main reason why Gibson is the villain - he treats Earth as territory to be re-colonised by Keplers, and the fact that it is still populated by what's left of humanity on the surface doesn't concern him. They're just an obstacle that should be removed or at least rendered docile.

The Needs of the Many
 The Colony (2021) / int_9a3b7208
comment
The Needs of the Many: Kepler seems to have developed this sort of ideology where the collective survival of its inhabitants is a priority over anything else and especially individual people, right down to the oft-repeated "For the many" salute. This does start causing friction where the Earth turns out to be still habitated by survivors of the world-ending cataclysm.

Downer Beginning: The re-entry capsule fails and crash-lands, seemingly in the open ocean. The commanding officer dies and Tucker is badly wounded. All while the Opening Scroll tells you how vital their mission is.
