Eat the Dog: Emmet considers this while lost in the amazon with his dog Salsa, but after much consideration, just can't go through with it. | |

Genre Blindness | |
The River / int_251bbe0e | comment |
Genre Blindness: The rescue team hears knocking from inside the panic room in the Magus's Creepy Basement, and they notice that it's been welded shut from the outside, and their first impulse is to cut it open. It's not Too Dumb to Live, since the obvious mundane explanation is that Jerkass pirates welded their victims in there, but clearly nobody present has seen a horror movie. Also, let's set up camp in the middle of the jungle at a tree where someone hung a lot of creepy dolls. | |

Literary Allusion Title: For the Show Within a Show - "The Undiscovered Country, from whose bourn no traveller returns", from Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy. Appropriately enough the line is referring to the afterlife. | |

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: In the first (and only) season finale, everyone is on the boat safe and sound, ready to return to the regular Amazon river. But the Boiuna won't let them leave, and the river physically reshapes itself so they can't leave. | |

Cluster F-Bomb: Given the network though, the whole thing is bleeped out. Lincoln drops one when they find the monkey with the doll mask. A.J. lets one out when he finds out that he has to crawl into a cave to save the crew. | |

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Though the Coles' nationalities are never mentioned (and Tess measures distance in kilometers), Lincoln slips in and out of a noticeably British accent. After Lincoln is possessed, the actor just stopped caring, and his British accent is clearly noticeable. | |

Jerkass Gods: The Boiuna definitely qualifies. Sure, it has a reason to be pissed about people trying to steal its secrets, but it's also a sadistic asshole who makes it clear that it loves tormenting the crew. | |
