** The Villengard Weapon Factories. They started off as the subject of a [[NoodleIncident ascended Noodle Incident]] in "The Doctor Dances", then returned as a [[ContinuityNod Continuity Nod]] in "Twice Upon A Time", but here we get a look at how cold, robotic, and utterly ''ruthless'' the company is in making a profit off of war. As mentioned above, the company's products include smart mines that contain no explosive, because they detonate the victim's DNA, and guns that can't be used against other Villengard products (unless, presumably, both sides of the conflict use Villengard weapons. No profit if the weapons don't work then). And just because the company also manufactures combat ambulances as well, don't think that makes them good. If the ambulances deem your recovery time will take too long, they will kill you and super-compress your body for efficient disposal. And they also can withhold treatment if you don't fit a certain criteria (in the Church's case, belief). Frankly, Jack and River's sonic blasters might be the ''nicest'' things these factories produced, and that's only because we've never seen them used on an enemy before (other than two Daleks "Revolution of the Daleks"). In-universe, this company ''earned'' its nickname of "Nightmare of the Seven Galaxies."

** The predicament that the Doctor finds himself in throughout this episode. The episode starts with him in a situation that seems all too familiar- the TARDIS lands, he hears someone screaming, and he rushes to help- but as he's on his way, he suddenly hears an unusual noise... and realizes that ''he's standing on a landmine''. He finds himself forced to stand in place, one leg in the air, for fear that the slightest movement, the slightest change in his blood pressure, the slightest ''emotional shift'' might set off the explosive. And it turns out, it's not just any regular land mine; no, it uses some kind of quantum charge to ''detonate the DNA'' of the person who stepped on it... which, given that the Doctor is a Time Lord, means that this explosion would be big enough to rip apart '''the entire planet'''.

** Again Ruby's presence, this time her near death, somehow summons the snow of the night she was born.

** Maestro is no different from their father in their method of driving the world mad, but they do it by removing music as an outlet for humanity's frustrations, resulting in a BadFuture from a HopelessWar that reduced Earth into a nuclear wasteland. And they don't plan on stopping at Earth, either; feeding on humanity's music is just them gaining enough strength to steal the "music of the spheres", which will result in the entire universe screeching to a halt and being left just as dead and empty as the Earth of this alternate timeline.
*** Maestro describing [[TheEndofTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the sound of a nuclear winter]] as "the purest Music of all". Really helps paint them as [[BlueAndOrangeMorality warped as The Toymaker]].

*** And oh no, it gets worse! They're also capable of TimeTravel. Which means they can - and '''do''' - go back in time to feast on someone while they're still an infant. [[FridgeHorror And that just becomes more terrifying the longer you think of it.]]

** Whatever is going on with Ruby's past only gets stranger and more disturbing here. Not only are the strange circumstances surrounding her implied to be tied to the One Who Waits, but when Maestro attempts to feed on the music inside her, we're met with the same eerie rendition of "Carol of the Bells" that played on the night she was abandoned, with even ''Maestro'' being alarmed at [[HorrifyingTheHorror how the song can have so much power]].
