Importantly, it introduced audiences to Oswald as "[[soufflé]] girl", a moniker that would ultimately gain greater resonance in [[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|the series finale]]. Indeed from the production team's perspective, the episode marked a major victory in Moffat's war on spoilers, in that the surprise of [[Jenna-Louise Coleman]]'s appearance was preserved for the vast majority of the global audience. Despite several advanced screenings, no major leaks about her presence were known to have occurred in press reports or on social media.  It was also an important episode for fans of Dalek design, in that several models of Dalek stretching all the way back to the 1960s were seen in the story — if only briefly.

With respect to the [[BBC Wales]] Dalek designs, it seemed to reverse the ''[[Victory of the Daleks]]''{{'}} implication that the "colour-coded Daleks" would destroy any remaining bronze, [[RTD]]-era Daleks as inferior. Instead, the RTD Daleks were clearly shown to be numerically superior to the colour-coded version, and both were shown to be working together in a Moffat-introduced Dalek governmental structure called the "[[Parliament of the Daleks]]".  The episode also re-introduced [[Skaro]] on television for the first time since ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]''.
