* [[Fantastic Racism]]: The Daleks towards the Thals, simply because they are different; hence the deliberate use of [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]. The Daleks constantly refer to Thals as "mutants" -- audience expectations are subverted when they turn out to be handsome and human-looking. |

* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: When they crack open a Dalek, Ian appears visibly horrified at what he sees inside, and tells the two girls to wait in the hallway so they don't see. The audience also never sees what's inside either, except for a single claw later struggling from underneath a cloak. Of course, the audience does eventually see the creature inside a Dalek in later episodes. Although, given that this is a different offshoot, whats inside ''these'' particular Daleks might appear totally different... |

* [[Violence Is the Only Option]]: [[Justified|Done fairly well]], since the Daleks are [[Omnicidal Maniac]]s and none of the Thals are under any illusion that fighting back is a ''good'' choice. |

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: The Doctor removes the fluid link and claims it was damaged in order to explore the city, despite the others wanting to leave. When he admits this was the case later on, they call him on how stupid he was for doing so, especially since the fluid link ''was'' actually broken when he did so. |
