Line 19:
As a reward for saving the universe, The Doctor's exile is lifted and he is able to use his TARDIS normally once more.
 
=== Tropes ===
 
* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]] - The Brig is rather accepting of the whole anti-matter monsters and black holes situation (he's dealt with weirder, arguably). But he immediately dismisses the idea of two Doctors existing at the same time (he thinks Three must have changed back somehow), and insists the TARDIS interior must be an optical illusion.
Line 31:
** Everybody, ''Everybody'' gets at least one taste of pork products and/or scenery during this serial (for instance, ask [[The Brigadier]] his opinion on the Second Doctor's recorder...). That said, ''Omega''. It's a wonder they were able to ''find'' any more ham for anyone else once Omega had gotten started.
* [[Milestone Celebration]]
* [[Morton's Fork]]: Omega can only escape from his realm by relinquishing control of the Singularity he uses to create the realm. Unfortunately, the very moment he relinquishes control of the Singularity, everything falls apart -- preventingapart—preventing him from escaping.
* [[The Nth Doctor]]
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: At one point, the Second Doctor rambles to Omega about his lost recorder, prompting (yet another) tantrum on Omega's part. The Third Doctor reprimands him, only for the Second Doctor to reveal he's just been testing Omega's self-control to find a weakness.
Line 40:
* [[The Scream]] - Omega lets out a rather convincing primal wail when he discovers that there's literally nothing left of him but his mind and some dust, animated by willpower alone.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]] - Omega goes completely off the deep end when he finds the aforementioned existence failure. "If all that is left of me is my will... Then my will is to DESTROY ALL THINGS! AAAALL THINGS! ALLLLL THIIIINGS!!! *cue second anguished wail*"
* [[Waxing Lyrical]]: "I am he and he is me." "And we are all together, goo-goo-kachoo?"
* [[You Look Familiar]] - The Chancellor of the Time Lords is played by the same actor as one of the Time Lord judges who exiled the Doctor to Earth in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S6 E7/E07 The War Games|The War Games]]". This was deliberate on the part of the production staff, in order to create a link back to The War Games.
