* [[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.

** 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...).

* [[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 -- preventing him from escaping.

* [[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.
