The development closely resembles the scenes where a generic superhero is discovering his own powers (it made me think of Spiderman). Jack even acknowledges this in the bar brawl by stating it's a cliché.
The serene demeanor of Gal. Hammond (Don Davis was very well cast) is in stark contrast with the junkie behavior of the three usual suspects.
The beautiful Tokra woman is as cynic and patronizing as they come.
Nice to see the Vulcan nerve pinch being used outside the Star Trek universe.
