* The security protocol for the Black Archive involves a self-destruct triggered through nuclear warhead detonation at the sacrifice of all human life in the blast radius. A similar nuclear option against alien attack was developed by UNIT in the form of the [[Osterhagen Project]] and was also nearly activated.

* This episode greatly resembles the events of ''[[The Fires of Pompeii]]''; primarily, the sequence depicting the three Doctors placing their hands on the Moment resembles the scene in where Donna and the Doctor blow up Mount Vesuvius. In both cases, the Doctor was agonizing over a terrible decision (Pompeii or the world; Gallifrey or the universe), but somebody came to support him, and share the responsibility of pressing the button. These two stories also resemble each other in that the Doctor's companion convinces the Doctor to take a different path rather than resigning himself to an unalterable consequence. (Donna convinced him to save Caecilius and his family; Clara convinces the Doctor to save Gallifrey without destroying the Time Lords). | * This episode greatly resembles the events of ''[[The Fires of Pompeii]]''; primarily, the sequence depicting the three Doctors placing their hands on the Moment resembles the scene in where Donna and the Doctor blow up Mount Vesuvius.

* The Tenth Doctor, upon hearing of Trenzalore, says they need to take a different direction as "I don't want to go." His successor notes that "He always says that", as it was his last words before his [[regeneration]].
