* As was pointed out in the main article, this is the third episode/adventure to take place within, at most, a day for the Doctor, and it was a day for the ages for our hero. The first adventure was both emotionally and physically traumatizing -- Twelve literally died believing his oldest friend Missy had betrayed him after all his efforts to redeem her, and that he'd failed to save Bill from being a Cyberman. The second saw the Doctor putting off their regeneration, dealing with the embarrassment of their less-enlightened younger self, then having their memories of Clara return, before finally going through with said regeneration. That led to getting tossed out of the TARDIS in mid-air straight into a third adventure, a rough slog through regeneration sickness while underequipped, making new friends despite herself and then immediately seeing one of them die trying to be a hero. (Another one for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd Davros's montage]].) And yet while the Doctor declares she and Yaz are friends now, etc., like it's a typical Companion recruitment, at the end of the episode, she's sad but content to leave everyone behind. Because after all that, you'd probably need some time to process all that, and for better or for worse, the Doctor always tends to process traumatic shit by wandering around alone. That's not how things played out, but that ''is'' what she was originally aiming for.

* In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E11HeavenSent Heaven Sent]]", the Doctor states that he was transported by "an augmented ultra-long-range teleport, so I'm not more than a single light-year from where I was." Tzim-Sha's teleporter is described as "short-range". That means that it probably isn't capable of taking him safely anywhere off-planet. Tzim-Sha's capsule had come over five thousand galaxies. Either he's still on Earth, looking for escape and/or revenge, or he was teleported to the maximum range in the direction of home and then ''ended up floating in deep space''. And given that the Doctor was adapting the same technology to transport her to her [=TARDIS=]...
** Technology in ''Doctor Who'' is notoriously inconsistent, so there's always that. However, the Doctor gave Tim back his recall switch, which was linked to the pod he came to Earth in, unrelated to the teleport he uses to escape the rooftop. Presumably, that's intergalactic graded.
** Of course, given that he had a ''quintuple dose'' of DNA-mangling ExplosiveLeash go off inside him shortly before he teleported out, whatever ''did'' wind up at the teleport's destination, near or far, may have been little more than sludge.

* Tzim-Sha's ritual hunt is mostly played out after dark, with him remaining hidden in his pointy-topped capsule until nightfall. This isn't just a way for him to escape notice by human witnesses, but also to avoid the warmer hours of daylight: a period when his refrigerated armor might not suffice to ward off heat stroke on a planet that, to a Stenza, is dangerously hot.

* As was pointed out in the main article, this is the third episode/adventure to take place within, at most, a day for the Doctor, and it was a day for the ages for our hero. The first adventure was both emotionally and physically traumatizing -- Twelve literally died believing his oldest friend Missy had betrayed him after all his efforts to redeem her, and that he'd failed to save Bill from being a Cyberman. The second saw the Doctor putting off their regeneration, dealing with the embarrassment of their less-enlightened younger self, then having their memories of Clara return, before finally going through with said regeneration. That led to getting tossed out of the TARDIS in mid-air straight into a third adventure, a rough slog through regeneration sickness while underequipped, making new friends despite herself and then immediately seeing one of them die trying to be a hero. (Another one for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd Davros's montage]].) And yet while the Doctor declares she and Yaz are friends now, etc., like it's a typical Companion recruitment, at the end of the episode, she's sad but content to leave everyone behind. Because after all that, you'd probably need some time to process all that, and for better or for worse, the Doctor always tends to process traumatic shit by wandering around alone. That's not how things played out, but that ''is'' what she was originally aiming for.

* The Doctor takes advantage of Yaz's fears that her superiors on the police force probably won't believe her if she tries to tell them what just happened, talking her out of calling them. However, we are talking about a reality that's had several very public alien invasion attempts, not to mention the fact that U.N.I.T. probably has put the word out to every law enforcement body on the planet to contact them if someone calling themselves "The Doctor" shows up, especially in association with anything unusual happening. The Doctor may really have been discouraging Yaz from calling her superiors because she didn't want Kate Stewart taking over (or worse, putting the Doctor in charge of the planet again).[[note]]The rest of us, on the other hand, would ''love'' for Kate Stewart to put in an appearance....[[/note]]

*** And one of the big reveals of "The Ghost Monument" is that the teleporter didn't actually send them to the wrong place: the planet it was aiming for had been recently shifted out of orbit, which is why they wound up floating in space.

Culling because a few of the facts are wrong. The First Doctor never had a sonic scredriver (see Once Upon A Time where he doesn't recognise The Twelfth Doctor's screwdriver). Also, the Eleventh Doctor broke the Tenth Doctor's screwdriver and got a new one in "The Eleventh Hour", but despite being a new screwdriver altogether, the screwdriver still had the calculation for the wooden door War Doctor scanned in "Day of The Doctor".

* Thirteen loses her original sonic screwdriver for good in her debut, and has to whip up a new one from scratch. [[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor "The Day of the Doctor"]] had showed that the sonic she ended up losing was the same one that had been running calculations to save Gallifrey for over a thousand years since the First Doctor - the same software in a different case, each time. Luckily the calculations had already been finished by Twelve's time, because otherwise Thirteen losing the first sonic that had been the key to saving Gallifrey and their people would have made "The Day of the Doctor" close with a seriously [[CruelTwistEnding cruel]] ShootTheShaggyDogStory.

We don't know if the clothes there were bought by the Doctor at some point long, long ago, or were left behind by countless Companions we never saw, or are generated by the TARDIS herself. However they got there, the Doctor wouldn't have to buy Leela any clothes specifically for her, just take her to the right wardrobe.
