Ironically, this could be seen as more realistic ''lasers don't produce sound, and the sound of an explosion won't travel through a vacuum, the sounds are put in for the audience, these are called non-diogetic sounds, if the characters heard the sound of the lasers or the explosions than it would be an error''. | ||
*Davros, although aware of the Movellan War, is surprised and fascinated by the problem of the impasse. Yet in ''[[Destiny of the Daleks]]'' he was aware of the problem. ''He still finds the situation fascinating''. | *Davros, although aware of the Movellan War, is surprised and fascinated by the problem of the impasse.

*When the Doctor is captured by the Daleks he asks where Davros is. But he does not know that the Dalek ship is docked onto the prison ship where Davros was held, let alone that he has been released. ''He says that he assumes that Davros is about somewhere, he doesn't actually know that the Dalek ship is docked onto the prison ship.'' | *When the Doctor is captured by the Daleks he asks where Davros is.

*The Dalek plan to infiltrate Earth with their duplicates is one of the weak points of the multi-layered and confusing plot. The Dalek plan is never really explained. At the end of the story the Dalek Supreme tells the Doctor that the duplicates have infiltrated Earth. The Doctor explains to Tegan and Turlough that these duplicates will become unstable like Stein. Does this mean they will die, or that they will lose their Dalek conditioning? In the meantime, could they not they create chaos on Earth? | *The Dalek plan to infiltrate Earth with their duplicates is one of the weak points of the multi-layered and confusing plot.

*In the warehouse, a Dalek is disorientated and pushed out onto the street below. The prop that is used for the ejection bears little resemblance to the Dalek in the combat scene. Most notably, its eye stalk is ridiculously short. | *In the warehouse, a Dalek is disorientated and pushed out onto the street below.
