Line 31:
* [[Family-Unfriendly Death]]: Runcible's impalement.
* [[Fun with Acronyms]]: The Celestial Intervention Agency.
{{quote| "I think he's ruthless and determined; a typical CIA agent."}}
* [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]]: Lampshaded by Spandrell's criticisms of Commander Hilred for allowing the Doctor to escape:
{{quote| '''Spandrell:''' ''Well done, Hilred. An antiquated capsule, for which you get adequate early warning, transducts on the very steps of the Capital. You are warned that the occupant is a known criminal, therefore you allow him to escape and conceal himself in a building a mere 53 stories high. A clever stratagem, Hildred. You're trying to confuse him, I take it?''}}
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: The Doctor is accused of killing the President of Gallifrey, the punishment for which is execution. However, the president had not named a successor before he was killed so an election must be held. So to put off his execution long enough to figure out what's really going on, the Doctor invokes some obscure law that lets him ''submit himself as a candidate'' so the Time Lords can't execute him until after the election.
* [[The Master]]: Is a decaying husk of a Time Lord.
