* 474's HeroicSacrifice seems to have been a vain one, considering that Chopra gets himself killed just minutes after she saves his life. OTOH, given that grunts are probably conditioned to ''want'' to die saving their human comrades, and her actions got the man she had a crush on to treat her like a human being at the end, she'd most likely be pleased by the outcome regardless of how long he survived afterwards.

Spelling/grammar fix(es)


** Displaying the names may have been something Rasmussan did simply so the video wouldn't be too confusing for viewers to stick with. He wants them to watch it ''all'', and viewers who keep wondering "Wait, how many soldiers are there again? Who's in charge here? Why do they keep calling that hefty one by a number instead of a name?" are likely to say to heck with it and go watch something else.

* Why ''wouldn't'' they have helmet cams? The episode provides two reasons: Budget cut;, couldn't afford them. Also, given how few members their squad had (also due to budget cuts), they probably never intended or expected to get separated. No need to broadcast a live feed to one another if they're all going to stick together.

* Why ''wouldn't'' they have helmet cams?
** Budget cuts, couldn't afford them.
** Given how few members their squad had, they probably never intended or expected to get separated. No need to broadcast a live feed to one another if they're all going to stick together.
* Despite being an armed military team, the rescue squad never fire their rifles, except near the end when its dramatically pointless, when Nagata finally proves that GunsAreUseless. It is hard to ignore given all the numerous times they [[DramaticGunCock charge-up]] and aim them, only to turn and run immediately upon seeing the sandmen.
* The Doctor's terribly concerned with Clara's momentary usage of the Morpheus module, and the final capsule reputed to contain someone who hasn't slept in five years. He seems utterly uninterested in how long Rasmussen was waiting in one, even after TheReveal that Rasmussen's working with the bad guys.

All of the Episode, up to the final credits, is edited together by Rasmussen. So, firstly, the episode ends after The Doctor and Clara leave the station (when presumably the plot actually gets tied up, off screen, given that everyone seems fine in the very next episode). Secondly, though, presumably the rapid interstitial screen between the intro section and the main part of the episode is also diegetic - but why would Rasmussen make a display of all of the names of the people present at the station, and then highlight the letters "Doctor Who" in it? Perhaps this is The Doctor's solution, and there's a second signal which counters the BrownNote effect of the episode itself?
