** It's stated early on that Max Capricorn is the one who chose the ''Titanic'''s name. He later turns out to be the one trying to sink it. Presumably the reason he decided on that name for the ship he was planning on sinking was as a twisted HistoricalInJoke.

* WealthyEverAfter: Mr. Copper, having no idea about Earth culture or currency, loaded a pre-paid card with "a million" thinking it was only good for trinkets. The Doctor tells him that he now has ''fifty-six million and fifty eight'' credits. He just has to be careful with it.

* ApocalypseHow: The Doctor indicates that if the ''Titanic'' crashing on Earth detonates its alien "nuclear storm engines", then the resulting explosion will kill off a mass extinction-sized chunk of life on Earth including all of humanity, making it at least a ApocalypseHow/Class4 to a ApocalypseHow/Class5. [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E11TurnLeft "Turn Left"]] would later downgrade this to a ApocalypseHow/Class0 by showing an AlternateTimeline where the ''Titanic'' does crash without the Doctor to stop it, but the nuclear explosion only obliterates London (and causes a Chernobyl-esque radiation contamination across England).



* BittersweetEnding: The ''Titanic'' ''doesn't'' crash and no one on Earth is killed. The Doctor even manages to avoid hitting Buckingham Palace and Mr. Copper gets a wonderful retirement. On the other hand, most of the ''Titanic''[='s=] crew and passengers die.

* BittersweetEnding: Even moreso than most of the other Christmas specials in the Tenth Doctor's era. The ''Titanic'' ''doesn't'' crash crash, and there are no one fatalities on Earth is killed. The -- the Doctor even manages to avoid hitting the ship damaging Buckingham Palace -- and Mr. Copper gets a rich and wonderful retirement. On retirement on Earth for the other hand, most last years of his life. However, ''thousands'' of the ''Titanic''[='s=] crew and passengers die.have died, including most of the Doctor's group -- his soon-to-be companion Astrid in particular dies making a HeroicSacrifice in front of him ''after'' the Doctor vowed he wouldn't let anybody else die, and the Doctor only manages to half-resurrect her as a half-conscious cloud of "stardust" roaming the universe that she wanted to see. The Doctor puts on a brave face at the episode's closing, but he's clearly been crushed by how cruelly he lost a new friend just before she could travel with him.
