* It is unclear whether Martha gradually begins to understand Peck and the other Hath by interpreting body language and expressions, or if the TARDIS communication circuits are translating for her (but not for the audience). | * It is unclear whether Martha gradually begins to understand Peck and the other Hath by interpreting body language and expressions, or if the TARDIS communication circuits are translating for her (but not for the audience). | ||
* Jenny's story arc throughout this episode is reminscent of the Biblical story of Christ. She is conceived from the one parent, though the supernatural element is removed in lieu of the progenitor machine. She is also shown to possess physiological attributes reminiscent of her father, namely two hearts and advanced intellect. She sacrifices herself and is ultimately resurrected. The frequent references to the Doctor as the "lonely god" help this representation as his daughter as Christ. | * Jenny's story arc throughout this episode is reminscent of the Biblical story of Christ.

* The [[First Doctor]] was travelling with his granddaughter [[Susan Foreman]], who is to date the only relative of the Doctor to be seen on screen. The Doctor's other two grandchildren, [[John and Gillian]], also appeared in some of the comic strips, although their canonicity is questioned. | |||
* At the end of this episode Jenny escapes from Messaline in a stolen spacecraft to travel the universe. This mirrors [[First Doctor|her father's]] actions. Stylistically, the interior walls of the craft Jenny steals is reminiscent of the TARDIS' interior throughout the original series. | |||
* This is one of the rare times in the series where an alien language is not automatically translated for the audience. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]'') | |||
