comment |
Dark Is Not Evil: When Sam encounters the Automatons and Avianaut for the first time, he assumes that the Automatons are the bad guys, despite Ghostworth telling him that they sent the distress signal, because they have a huge, scary-looking ship much bigger than Avianaut's. He changes his tune when he actually sees Avianaut. |

Amnesiac Dissonance: Sam is, presently, a Manchild idiot who would make Roger Wilco look competent. However, Ghostworth's flashback reveals that he was apparently crying his eyes out before he had his traumatic memories erased. Also note his unusual reaction at the war memorial. He also built Ghostworth and uploaded his dad's personality into him. |
