Gallifrey/YMMV


 * Alas, Poor Villain:  death. Sure, they were an utter monster, but it was just such a brutal and vicious way to die.
 * Angst What Angst: Romana spent twenty years in a Dalek prison cell. This is never mentioned again.
 * Complete Monster: Pandora. Darkel gets her moments.
 * Also pretty much any antagonist in any alternate Gallifrey in Series 4.
 * Designated Protagonist Syndrome: A side effect of Romana getting saddled with the plotlines.

 * Magnificent Bastard: In his first appearance Mephistopheles Arkadian, a simple human con-man and arms dealer, manages to . However, he later tries for a repeat performance and is outfoxed by Braxiatel
 * Pandering to The Base: How the series got started.
 * Ship Mates:
 * Stoic Woobie: Almost everyone qualifies.
 * Straw Man Has a Point: Narvin, and to a lesser extent Darkel, who are lampooned for saying that Romana is an ineffectual leader whose presidency will lead to disaster. It does,
