*In the scene in which it is revealed that SV7 is receiving order from Capel, the robot's eyes are blacked out (in order to allow the reddening effect to be added) before the eyes are supposed to change color. In the same scene, the identity of Dask as Capel is prematurely revealed as the actor's face is clearly recognizable despite the video effects used. (This is an error because in a later scene Capel is shown wearing a hooded robe intended to disguise his identity.) ''(Why is that an error? He wears the hood for his own reasons later, but there is no reason for him to conceal his identity from SV7 at this point. The production team are further allowing the viewer to "guess" that Dask is Capel, without explicitly stating it yet.)'' | *In the scene in which it is revealed that SV7 is receiving order from Capel, the robot's eyes are blacked out (in order to allow the reddening effect to be added) before the eyes are supposed to change color.

*Why does Dask/Capel bother to wear the hood when working on the robots in his secret lab? ''It's a pseudo-religious fetish fuelled by his robo-messianic complex (i.e. the belief that he is the savior of all robot-kind).'' | *Why does Dask/Capel bother to wear the hood when working on the robots in his secret lab? ''It's a pseudo-religious fetish fuelled by his robo-messianic complex (i.e. the belief that he is the savior of all robot-kind). Either that or perhaps it's a 'clean suit' that is a good idea to wear when mucking around in the brains of a Robot to avoid dust/moisture getting in there (Let us not forget that Capel sees Robots as his 'Brothers' and therefore is performing 'surgery' on them).'' | ||
*When Leela throws her knife at the attacking robot it makes a cartoonish 'shhhh doinkk!' noise. She also breaks character completely by following it with "Now you're just showing-off". ''(Leela has been shown to have a sense of humor. This is not breaking character.)'' | *When Leela throws her knife at the attacking robot it makes a cartoonish 'shhhh doinkk!' noise.
