*Some would argue that it is improbable that the Hath would so quickly come to trust Martha, given that she is the same species that they are at war against. ''However Martha had helped Peck whereas most of the other humans could have killed him. Therefore they quickly identified that she was different. It also was necessary from a narrative standpoint, to allow the audience to quickly grasp that the Hath are different to the monsters General Cobb makes them out to be.'' | *Some would argue that it is improbable that the Hath would so quickly come to trust Martha, given that she is the same species that they are at war against.

*The TARDIS's telepathic circuits do not translate what the Hath are saying to the audience but Martha is able to speak to them and know that the Hath she travels around with is called Peck. ''The reason it was not translated to the audience is a choice by the producers to add comic relief that Martha is the only one who can understand them and translate what they are saying. For example when Peck swears and she tells him to watch his language.'' | *The TARDIS's telepathic circuits do not translate what the Hath are saying to the audience but Martha is able to speak to them and know that the Hath she travels around with is called Peck.

*All Jenny's knowledge and abilities were given to her by the machine she was born in. This may include her gymnastics skills. It is never explained why the other soldiers do not have the same ability. ''Jenny is more physically able than the other soldiers as her gymnastic skills clearly go far beyond that of almost any human. The extent of Jenny's gymnastic skills are likely to be as the result of being a Time Lady rather than a human. The coordination she displays in being able to flip through the lasers is possibly due to the Time Lord ability to effectively slow down their perception of time, as demonstrated by the [[Ninth Doctor]] in [[The End of the World]] when he was able to step between the blades of a rapidly spinning fan.'' | *All Jenny's knowledge and abilities were given to her by the machine she was born in.
