* PointlessDoomsdayDevice: It is not entirely clear why the natives of Uxarieus constructed the Doomsday Weapon in the first place, but it was never used, and the radiation from it ultimately destroyed their civilisation.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: One of the biggest in ''Doctor Who'' history: Captain Dent, the BigBad of at least half the story, disappears completely midway through the last episode and it's never revealed what happened to him after his troops are defeated. That said, shortly before the Doctor leaves, there is mention of an actual Adjudicator coming to Uxaerius to judge between the Colonists and the IMC survey team. With the local balance of power no longer in Dent's favor and Caldwell willing to testify about Dent's crimes, Dent's offscreen future isn't looking good.
