Production errors
- If you'd like to talk about narrative problems with this story — like plot holes and things that seem to contradict other stories — please go to this episode's discontinuity discussion.On several occasions the reflection of the green screen can be seen on the knife Jack is holding.
- When looking at his phone after Esther's funeral, Rex is holding it vertically when facing the camera, but horizontally when the camera is looking at the screen.
Continuity
- Jack mentions the Silurians and the Racnoss as possible explanations for the Blessing. The Silurians had lived underground for millenia (DW: Doctor Who and the Silurians et al), and the Earth was initially formed around a Racnoss nest, which was at the centre of the planet. (DW: The Runaway Bride)
- Gwen says that the Blessing may be the most terrestrial thing Torchwood has encountered. Torchwood previously encountered humans responsible for what they beleieved to be 'aliens' when investigating several dissapearances. (TW: Countrycide)
