1	* HamAndCheese: Despite Graham Crowden's legendary chewing of scenery there was plenty of set left for other actors to dine on. One of the other characters - the co-pilot, played by Malcolm Terris - has the catchphrase "WEAKLING SCUM!" that he delivers in increasingly over-the-top pantomimic ways. Even more delicious is that during his death scene he overacts so spectacularly that his trousers visibly split. According to ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'', "'''''WEAKLING SCUM!!!'''''" ''wasn't even in the script'', Terris came up with it all by himself. Pop him between two slices of bread and you'd have a ham and cheese sandwich you could use to beat a bear to death.
2	* HarsherInHindsight: All the talk about the Nimon being the last survivor of his race becomes pretty dark to a New ''Who'' viewer where a long-running storyline is about the Doctor being (or believing to be) the last of the Time Lords.
3	* HilariousInHindsight: The Doctor remarks that he would have made a great cricketer. His next incarnation [[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E5BlackOrchid certainly will]].
4	* MemeticMutation:
5	** "MY DREAMS OF CONQUEST".
6	** "YOU MEDDLESOME HUSSY!"
7	** "HOW MANY NIMONS HAVE YOU SEEN TODAY?"
8	* {{Narm}}:
9	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6gyUgPl1SU My DREEEAMS of con-QUEST]].
10	** While the above is certainly the most narmful, pretty much the whole story is narm after narm after narm. And thats before [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments the trousers splitting scene]]. It truly is SoBadItsGood on sheer pantomime alone.
11	** Graham Crowden really steals the show; "LORD NIIIIIMON! It is IIIIII! Soldeeeeeeed!" (please note he changes his inflections in the middle of the longer syllables for added narmness), "The Nimon be praised!" "IIIIIIII SAAAAAAAAAAW TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
12	* SoBadItsGood: The story was best summed up by ''The Discontinuity Guide'' as "Wonderful with some friends and a bottle of wine". Graham Crowden's performance as Soldeed is by far one of the hammiest, most over-the-top performances in the entire series, and that is really saying something. His death scene is proof enough.
13	* SpecialEffectFailure:
14	** An actor's legs are still visible standing still through a ChromaKey portal into which he has fallen, even after his character was supposed to have left the scene.
15	** The Nimon are not the greatest-looking monsters the series has ever created, to put it mildly. If you watch closely, you can see the masks slip and the actor's neck underneath.
16	** Some 'asteroids' in a space sequence are obviously just bits of cereal.
