| 1 | * AccidentalAesop: The episode was perceived in some quarters as an attack on immigration (since the episode features aliens who come to Earth on the pretence of finding a new home after their planet was blown up, but are actually attempting to invade), even though the subtext was entirely unintentional. |
| 2 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The Gelth - evil conquerors with no regard to sanctity of other life, or just one of many beings driven mad by the Time War, trying desperately to cling to life themselves? |
| 3 | * HilariousInHindsight: |
| 4 | ** There was originally going to be a scene in which the Doctor was mistaken for Sneed's new cleaner. Someone would have stated, "I thought you'd be a woman" to which the Doctor replies "No, not yet". In 2017, [[Creator/JodieWhittaker that came to pass]]. |
| 5 | ** When Sneed was written as much younger, Gatiss considered Creator/DavidTennant for the role. Barely a few months later, [[Characters/DoctorWhoTenthDoctor who was the Doctor’s next reincarnation?]] |
| 6 | * HoYay: The Doctor calles Creator/CharlesDickens Charlie... |
| 7 | --> '''Dickens:''' No one calls me Charlie.\ |
| 8 | '''The Doctor:''' The ladies do. |
| 9 | * WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: The episode is often read as an allegory for how war refugees should be treated with suspicion and can never assimilate into society. It just happened to come out at a time when asylum seekers were featured heavily in the news. |
