Trivia
- The name of the robotic control system, ROSM, is clearly an homage to the title character Rossum in R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), a Czech play from 1921, which first introduced the word 'robot' to the general lexicon.
- In episode 2, the Doctor quotes from Romeo and Juliet ("jocund day stands tiptoe"). This foreshadows the Shakespeare theme of the next play, The Time of the Daleks.
gollark: You can leave the US, you at least... can say bad things about the government a bit, you can... have weapons, you're less likely to be randomly imprisoned, sort of thing.
gollark: ... *really*?
gollark: ... North Korea did, presumably?
gollark: Instead of getting disappeared for complaining or whatever.
gollark: I would be mildly less unhappy with authoritarian countries if they actually would let you leave.
