*President Winters refers to himself as "President Elect" when introducing himself to the Toclafane, but in all other instances is referred to as the U.S. President. ("President Elect", someone who has won the election but not yet taken office, is strictly an informal term, carrying no real legal weight.)

*Near the start of the episode Martha says "But at the end in the TARDIS..." but she says the end, implying the end of Utopia, but isn't it their life not a TV programme episode?

*It has been previously shown and indicated that Time Lords have extremely long, almost indefinite, life-spans and can remain healthy and strong in one incarnation for centuries, indeed the First Doctor regenerated at the age of 450, yet the Master reduces the Doctor to infirmity by aging him a mere 100 years. ''Perhaps his health failed because of artificial aging not natural aging see ''[[The Leisure Hive]]''. It is also possible the Master's Laser Screwdrive in someway inhibits the Doctor's Timelord metabolism that controls the comparatively slowed aging process.'' | *It has been previously shown and indicated that Time Lords have extremely long, almost indefinite, life-spans and can remain healthy and strong in one incarnation for centuries, indeed the First Doctor regenerated at the age of 450, yet the Master reduces the Doctor to infirmity by aging him a mere 100 years.
