*Marc Cory's tape message is different from the one he left in ''[[Mission to the Unknown]]''. ''Although a great deal of time has passed as evidenced by&nbsp; Corey's body having decayed to a skeleton. The Message Tape was presumably damaged in the time between stories and is thus different''

*If the Grand Alliance is so expendable, why have it in the first place? ''Mass manipulation by the Daleks, to acquire the materials needed to build the Time Destructor. Several lines of dialogue referring to the Delegates making contributions to the weapon support this. Also the Daleks only turn on them after the Time Destructor is complete. In addition, the militaries of the Alliance worlds would be expecting the Daleks as Allies. So they would be open to Dalek attack .''

It obviously belongs to the 'real world', not to the Whouniverse. There are times when characters of popular TV shows step out of the show to acknowledge their fans.''
