* [[Russell T Davies]] has stated that this episode "does exactly what it says on the tin". [[Stephen Greenhorn]]'s episode has the Doctor facing a dilemma unlike any before, and it is wildly different to ''[[The Lazarus Experiment (TV story)|The Lazarus Experiment]]''. He also said that his episode was designed by Russell to "change the Doctor" in a big episode that will have "a real impact on him" and that, in terms of the series continuity, it will be a "lasting impact". This was inspired by Greenhorn stating in a ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' interview that the Doctor doesn't change. | * [[Russell T Davies]] has stated that this episode "does exactly what it says on the tin".

* The Source is similar to many science fiction atmospheric regeneration devices. Especially like the {{iw|fallout|Garden of Eden Creation Kit}} (G.E.C.K.) in the Fallout series, in that it was also made in a lab and intended to revive a barren wasteland (post-apocalyptic earth in the Fallout series). | * The Source is similar to many science fiction atmospheric regeneration devices.
