Coming to you live from the past

Red bonds with Green by talking about how they were once a lowly intern too who got by on stealing pizza crusts (and Green goes "woah you can do that?") This comes back later both when Purple reveals the shared internship is the origin of all their problems with Red, AND during backpack check when Green tips over their backpack to reveal it's now full of stolen pizza crusts (which Red pretends to be disappointed in.)

Yellow and Brown's game of "we both answer the question with the same thing at the same time" falls out of sync when Yellow answers flakey salt for favorite pizza topping and Brown says none. Flakey salt of course comes back both in the emotional fallout of Yellow's death and in the manner by which Red and Purple defeat the imposter.

Black complains to Blue that MIRA gave them no equipment except a microscope they have no use for. The microscope is what Black later users to confirm the alien residue on the cracked ore.

Lime tries to open MIRA's 'weapons' storage only to discover it's actually the 'weird aprons' storage. Later when Yellow is lecturing Cyan and Purple about being in the freezer, Yellow tacks on "And have you been messing with our weird aprons?"

Orange opens with the trustball fact of having two pairs of shoes: one for normal wear and one for when they're feeling sumptuous. At the very end, Purple is keeping Heracle's body in the 'sumptuous' shoebox.

I rewatched the series and I decided I would be soooooo fucking mad if I were Green. They played a genuinely perfect imposter game WHILE carrying the entire team alone because they were paired with the most useless possible imposter partner, who got exactly one kill (OF the guy Green was successfully deflecting sus on) which was witnessed by, to quote, God and everyone, making Green partnerless for no net gain.

In fact I only started sussing Green mid-series BECAUSE they were playing such a perfect imposter game, such that it would be the most interesting narrative choice for it to be them. Without metagaming this, IN context, Green should never have lost the vote against Purple. Green had Purple dead-to-rights and Purple had nothing, and it was only because the consistently-destructive ex-situationship dumpster-fire disaster dynamic (affectionate) between Purple and Red aligned in single-braincell energy just long enough to accuse Green for no TRUE fumble of their own.
