* ShutUpKirk: A rare heroic example: "Thank you, Doctor, for your lack of faith, but unfortunately I've stopped listening." After two episodes of contempt and insults from the Doctor, whom he had treated with utter respect from the start, Colonel Mace finally stops listening and proceeds to prove the Doctor wrong and wipe the floor with the so-called "universe's greatest soldiers". However, the mothership would have wiped them out from space if it wasn't for a mixture of the Sontarans being {{Blood Knight}}s and wanting to have fun on the ground, and the Doctor, so he was correct about them standing no chance against the Sontarans. On the other hand, the Doctor doesn't seem to have any idea how to get rid of the Sontarans on the ground himself, and his plan to destroy the mothership would have been an EpicFail if not for Luke [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork making the hard choice for him]], so he definitely needed UNIT's assistance. Notably, while the Doctor never congratulates Mace on the bullets thing (though this being the Doctor he wouldn't) he flat-out congratulates Mace for the use of the ''Valiant'', being genuinely impressed.

* HostileTerraforming: Weakened by their eternal war with another race of ScaryDogmaticAliens, the Sontarans hatch an uncharacteristically circuitous plan to bathe the Earth in an artificial, opaque gas which is poisonous to native life but nutritious to themselves, so they can kill off humanity while using the planet as a gigantic Sontaran cloning facility to spawn more soldiers.

** In New York, one of the buildings has a name reading "Butler Institute". The Butler Institute was a sinister EnigmaticInstitute in the Literature/VirginNewAdventures book ''Cat's Cradle: Warhead''.
** Donna spends a while pronouncing "Sontaran" incorrectly, but in the way that it was originally intended to be pronounced before Kevin Lindsay changed it in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E1TheTimeWarrior "The Time Warrior"]].
