* SalvagedStory: A common complaint about past episodes with an AllLovingHero that doesn't like to kill people or will only use it as a last resort would make said hero completely bloodthirsty, causing any reluctance they had in killing their foe to come off as an InformedAttribute. This episode directly addresses this by having the Doctor only ever defend himself from Rick and repeatably attempt to deescalate the fight, with the only attempt at getting him killed being indirectly via leaving him with the Weeping Angels, making his reluctance to use the D-Mat gun feel far more natural and in character.

* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: When the Doctor sees the screaming sun does he smile because he has SeenItAll, or is he smiling because that was probably [[IveNeverSeenAnythingLikeThisBefore one of the few things he has never seen before]] and finds it neat? The comments on the video seem to lean on the latter.

* HilariousInHindsight: The Doctor's only response to the screaming sun is to wistfully smile. In just a few days the Doctor would encounter a being from a world with a mad living sun. Needless to say the Doctor would find such a sun nowadays much more troubling.
