** The Master [[JustForPun hangs out]] in a field dressed as a scarecrow just for the sake of a DramaticUnmask. Why? Because '''why not'''? It's ''the Master''.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: The Rani's notorious "land mines that turn people into trees". This wouldn't have been so bad, except when a character who was turned into a tree grabs Peri with one of his branches to stop her meeting the same fate. The effect, with what is clearly a brown sleeve sticking out of a plastic trunk, is awful, and it's made even worse by the incredibly serious and glurgy tone of the scene.

* BrokenBase: The Rani remains very much a polarizing figure in Who fandom; some fans like her for her cold dispassionate personality and banter with the Doctor and Master, while others consider her a darker, edgier version of the Master and a pet character of Pip and Jane Baker (who wrote all of her various appearances).

Foe Yay has been cut


* FoeYay: The Rani apparently ships Doctor/Master, too, in addition to having FoeYay with both: "You and the Doctor are a well-matched pair of pests". This isn't an isolated comment -- she spends most of the episode making cracks about how she wishes the Doctor and the Master would take their courtship elsewhere and leave her to her experiments.
-->'''The Doctor''': The Rani IS a genius. Shame I can't stand her. [pause] I wonder if I was particularly nice to her she might... no. No, of course not.

*** Topped off with volcanic-level Narm when the Rani ''knees the Master in the groin''.
* SoBadItsGood: The sheer ridiculousness of the story's central plot, combined with the copious amounts of [[LargeHam ham]] and {{narm}}, lend it this sort of reputation among fans. Much of the entertainment value here comes from just how loopy-as-balls the whole thing gets.
