One thing I really like about Space King is that when we do see callback jokes, they're always really competent and highlight the funnier quirks of the team. Captain has rapidly become my favorite character in the show, but I love the way it handles Bryce and how hard it contrasts to how the show handles Chestnut:
* Captain has made no bones about stating why he finds Bryce infuriating: He overengineers his imaginations and either makes them needlessly complicated or fundamentally flawed on a basic level. This contrasts with Terry, who sticks to the tried-and-true.
* The heretic at the start of Episode 3 is, like Bryce, a member of the Flame of Space King legion.
* Bryce does disgusting things throughout the episode and you quickly gather that the Captain abusing him, unlike the abuse of Chestnut (which the group partially walked back by the end of the episode after he murdered the entire Coagulators Legion), is for the most part fucking deserved.
* Bryce turns out to be why Hatemonger got tagged for looking at Psycho-boobies. Hatemonger was, in fact, innocent.
