Line 37:
** [[Fridge Horror|Fridge]] [[Squick]]: It must be ''really'' gross in there.
* [[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.
* [[For Want of a Nail]]: The Doctor intentionally sabotaged the fluid links of the TARDIS in order to strand them there, after his companions denied him the chance to satiate his curiousity about the Dalek City, claiming that they would now have to go there in order to find replacements (unaware that he actually HAD seriously damaged the TARDIS and the need for repairs was genuine). If he hadn't been impulsive, he may never have encountered the Daleks, starting the [[Timey
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The Daleks don't know what the TARDIS is, and when the Doctor mentions it, assume he's delirious. For future Daleks, the word TARDIS, especially one shaped like a blue box, is [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]].
* [[Mutants]]: Everyone on Skaro is a mutant, from the Daleks to the Thals, to the surviving animal life.
Line 51:
* [[Sinister Surveillance]]: Barbara is moving down a corridor in the Dalek city and [[Leaning On the Fourth Wall|places her hand over the camera lens]], making us realise we're looking from the point-of-view of a security camera.
* [[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.
** Ian and Susan called out the Doctor on wanting to leave Barbara on the planet.
