* During the [[Eighth Doctor]] flashback, the Doctor is held prisoner on a [[Unnamed planet (The Forgotten)|planet]] at some point during the [[Last Great Time War]]. He manages to escape and steal [[the Great Key]]. The Doctor intends to use this key to create a device similar to a [[De-mat Gun]] that will seal the [[Medusa Cascade]] and somehow end the war. Despite the similarities, the device could not be [[The Moment]], as that weapon was created by the ancients of Gallifrey and stolen by the [[War Doctor]] according to [[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor]]''. It was later revealed in ''[[The Night of the Doctor]]'' that the Eighth Doctor never fought in the War until his next incarnation, merely helping out whenever he could. | * During the [[Eighth Doctor]] flashback, the Doctor is held prisoner on a [[Unnamed planet (The Forgotten)|planet]] at some point during the [[Last Great Time War]].

* Due to a printing error, the dialogue balloons on Page 1 of Issue 6 were left blank. The absence of the dialogue had caused confusion over whether the villain was meant to be the [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]] or [[the Valeyard]], since most references to it were on this page (although the Doctor refers to the villain as the Valeyard on a later page). [[Tony Lee]] posted the missing dialogue on IDW's web forum [http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?t=5303&highlight=], and the dialogue was fixed in the trade paperback release. | * Due to a printing error, the dialogue balloons on Page 1 of Issue 6 were left blank.

* The fact the villain takes the form of the Meta-Crisis Doctor, and refers to himself as the [[Valeyard]], has added credence to the rumour that the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor could be destined to become the Valeyard. The Doctor himself however laughs at this idea in the story. Until such a time as a connection is actually made, the fact the villain chooses "the Valeyard" as his alias means that's the villain being impersonated here, no matter what he actually looks like. | * The fact the villain takes the form of the Meta-Crisis Doctor, and refers to himself as the [[Valeyard]], has added credence to the rumour that the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor could be destined to become the Valeyard.
