* EveryoneHasStandards: Loran is a lech around any remotely attractive woman, but he backs right off from Sam when he finds out she's only seventeen.



* ItsAllAboutMe: Davros' testimony at his trial is basically his telling the Daleks he should be in charge solely by dint of creating him, refusing to recognise any of their authority whatsoever and telling them to put him in charge. The Doctor and Sam even point out it's basically Davros' God-complex talking after hearing it.

** A more benign version occurs when the Doctor laments that just because he's the Daleks' greatest enemy he's far from their only one, and that he almost failed to realise there was something wrong because the Dalek plan had absolutely nothing to do with him.

* CallForward: A subtle one. The Doctor referring to the Dalek Prime's Daleks as Imperial Daleks - something used in the show to refer exclusively to Davros' faction in ''Remembrance'' - makes more sense when you consider than in his timeline he's seen the Daleks ruled by an Emperor in ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS4E9TheEvilOfTheDaleks Evil]]'', which is usually considered to be much later in the Dalek timeline than the Davros stories.

Even taking the former interpretation, why would the knowledge that the Daleks will be ruled by another Emperor in the future lead to the Doctor calling ''these'' Daleks "Imperial"?



* ContinuityNod:
** It's strongly implied the factory ship the Doctor dumps in the Time Vortex at the end is the one his earlier self defeats in ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS4E3ThePowerOfTheDaleks The Power of the Daleks]]''.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E8TheChase The Mechanoids]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS10E3FrontierInSpace the Draconians]] both appear in interludes as other opponents of the Daleks.
** The Doctor convinces the Thal leader he is who he says by quoting directly from his introduction to the Thals in ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E2TheDaleks The Daleks]]''.



* MythologyGag:
** The description of the Dalek Prime lines up perfectly with the Golden Emperor from the [=TV21=] Dalek Chronicles.

This is one of the most disliked ''Doctor Who'' novels due to the attempt to retcon all the Post-''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E4GenesisOfTheDaleks Genesis of the Daleks]]'' stories including the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS25E1RemembranceOfTheDaleks destruction of Skaro]]. Undergoes a lot of FanonDiscontinuity, but later stories (starting with [[Recap/DoctorWhoTAGE01CityOfTheDaleks "City of the Daleks"]]) reveal that Skaro ''did'' survive, one way or another. On another note, the story was originally pitched to Creator/AndrewCartmel, and may have been produced (probably in a somewhat different form) for Season 28 of the series.

On another note, the story was originally pitched to Creator/AndrewCartmel, and may have been produced (probably in a somewhat drastically different form) for Season 28 of the series.
