*Despite having spent his time in suspended animation he has been able to make his mind control device and has learnt enough about Time Lords to deduce that they're 'all soft'.

:''Davros' primary contact with Time Lords has been the Doctor. To the creator of the Daleks, anyone who shows compassion or mercy is soft. Taking the Doctor to represent Time Lords, he would undoubtedly consider them soft.

*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.

*When the Daleks discover the Doctor they mean to exterminate him. Lytton appears and tells them that the Supreme Dalek wants him alive. One of the Daleks electronically confers with the Dalek Supreme and confirms this. Why would the Dalek Supreme give this command to Lytton, who is not entirely trustworthy, but not to the party of Daleks sent to the Doctor? Later, when the survivors of the ship's crew are killed in the self-destruct chamber, a Daleks tells Lytton it must inform the Dalek Supreme. But it physically leaves. ''Actually, the camera just switches to focus on Lytton. You can actually hear the Dalek electronically communicating with the Supreme Dalek in the background. | *When the Daleks discover the Doctor they mean to exterminate him.
