** The ''Star Trek'' franchise has never formally acknowledged the existence of ''Doctor Who'' as a work of fiction. Still references, although oblique, have occasionally crept into STU narratives. The "{{ma|sonic driver}}," can be taken as a sly reference to the Doctor's [[sonic screwdriver]]. | ** The ''Star Trek'' franchise has never formally acknowledged the existence of ''Doctor Who'' as a work of fiction.

** The ''Doctor Who'' franchise has on numerous occasions featured characters in one story, who are defined as fictional characters in another. One example of this is [[Sherlock Holmes]], who is a character in several novels such as [[PROSE]]: ''[[All-Consuming Fire (novel)|All-Consuming Fire]]'', yet defined as fictional stories such as [[TV]]: ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]''. | ** The ''Doctor Who'' franchise has on numerous occasions featured characters in one story, who are defined as fictional characters in another.

* Despite the [[Tenth Doctor]] claiming that travel between parallel universes became near-impossible after the [[Last Great Time War]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Rise of the Cybermen (TV story)|Rise of the Cybermen]]'') he does not show such concern in this story. The earlier [[BBC New Series Adventures|New Series Adventure]] novel ''[[The Coming of the Terraphiles (novel)|The Coming of the Terraphiles]]'' also featured travel through the [[Multiverse]], suggesting the walls between realities have opened up somewhat, possibly due to a crisis such as the [[21st century Dalek invasion|use]] of the [[Reality Bomb]] or the [[Time Field|Cracks in Time]]. | |||
* The Doctor wonders aloud if the escaped alien prisoner was heading to an [[Atraxi]] prison or a [[Shadow Proclamation]] facility. He concludes the alien is most likely going to "the [[Visendi Detention Complex]]." | * The Doctor wonders aloud if the escaped alien prisoner was heading to an [[Atraxi]] prison or a [[Shadow Proclamation]] facility.

* The alien prisoner can change its form as could [[Prisoner Zero]] from [[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour]]'', though its "normal" form is markedly different. Amy also refers to the events of ''The Eleventh Hour'' when convincing Picard to come and see the TARDIS. | * The alien prisoner can change its form as could [[Prisoner Zero]] from [[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour]]'', though its "normal" form is markedly different.
