* ShoutOut: ProperlyParanoid: Since the events of ''Series/TorchwoodChildrenOfEarth'', Gwen and Rhys are living a secluded life, and Gwen is paranoid enough that she reacts to anyone coming to their door by preparing her guns. However, considering her previous dangerous life and the fact that her own government tried to kill her, plus the fact that when she does let in a person, it leads to a helicopter firing at her house, her actions are well justified.

** When the characters are calculating how fast Earth's population is increasing now that no one can die, they count the dead people twice. They're also way off about their estimates of the human birth and death rates [[note]]Roughly 83 million people were born in 2011, which comes out to about 227,000 per day, compared to around 150,000 deaths per day.[[/note]], and the episode also ignores that global birth rates have declined considerably over the last few decades. The UK had a birth rate of 1.91 per 1,000 people in 2011 when ''Miracle Day'' takes place, and even without any deaths, the Miracle would only bump this up to levels comparable to nations like Niger and Chad, not a society-destroying crisis.
** If the episode takes place in July, it's suggesting that if the population hits the numbers it would via normal population growth, which would be February, no problem. If they hit those same numbers by November, they're screwed.
