* MeaningfulName: In the documentary "Defending the Museum" Rob Shearman says the Morok's name shows they are morons.


Added DiffLines:

** Considering how much the TARDIS likes the Doctor it could have deliberately jammed itself so the Doctor could see this timeline and prevent it.


Added DiffLines:

* VestigialEmpire: The Moroks used to have a great space empire but they have become decadent and bored. Lobos points this out and the Doctor compares it to the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire.

Added DiffLines:

* LieDetector: The door to the armory is linked to one. It only opens when someone can truthfully give ''the right answer'' to all of its questions. At least, until Vicki reprograms it.
* LongList: The list of questions the armory door asks.


Added DiffLines:

* PsychicStatic: When asked how he arrived in the museum, the Doctor thinks of... a high-wheel bicycle. And he imagines a group of walruses when he is asked where he is from.


Added DiffLines:

* TrailOfBreadCrumbs: Ian gets the idea of unraveling Barbara's cardigan to mark the corridors when they get lost in the museum, like [[ClassicalMythology Theseus]].

Added DiffLines:

** The Doctor specifically mentions that they (the them out of the casings) are in a different dimension of sorts, looking into this dimension where they are all on display. We know dimension travel was possible before the Last Great Time War, so this is the more likely explanation.

Removing review-like comment. Removing YMMV and Trivia. Plus, I\'m sure that\'s not how First Installment Wins works when this is the seventh serial of the second season.


-> ''Nobody likes it and it hasn't had the decency to be wiped.''
-->-- '''Rob Shearman''', writer of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS1E6Dalek Dalek]]", on this story.



A great setup wasted with a pedestrian resolution and awful acting from the guest cast.



* FirstInstallmentWins: The first episode of this story is widely thought of as one of the best individual episodes in the Hartnell era. The other three episodes, on the hand, are often regarded as the worst Hartnell-era episodes by some distance.
* [[HeyItsThatGuy Hey, It's That Guy!]] Jeremy "Boba Fett" Bulloch.

Added DiffLines:

* TimeyWimeyBall: the theory of time travel used in this episode is unclear. At some point, the Doctor and his companions landed on Xeros and through an unknown sequence of events were turned into exhibits for the Moroks' museum. They also arrive, walk around on Xeros while not really being there at all while an instrument in the TARDIS is stuck, and then when they finally "arrive", the display cases disappear. It almost appears to be a case of the TARDIS offering a glimpse into an alternate possible timeline rather than something that actually happened as a result of time travel.
