{{quote| '''Leela:''' Before I die I'll see this rathole ankle deep in blood. That is a promised thing.}}
* [[Book Ends]]
* [[Bowdlerise|Bowdlerisation]]: An odd example: [[Terrance Dicks (Creator)|Terrance Dicks]]'s [[Doctor Who Novelisations (Literature)|novelisation]] has the citizens immediately feeling guilty and regretful after Hade is thrown off the roof, presumably out of a retrospective feeling that a family show shouldn't really condone the casual murder of civil servants, even evil ones.
* [[Camera Spoofing]]
* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]
Line 35:
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: The Correction Center. Followed by death.
* [[Hypnotic Eyes]]: The Doctor. It works a little too well.
* [[I Fight for Thethe Strongest Side]]: Marn's [[Heel Face Turn]] at the end of the serial.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: The Doctor spoofs Karl Marx when he tells the workers they have nothing to lose but their claims.
* [[Least Is First]]
Line 54:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Leela's attempted execution contains visual references to ''[[Metropolis]]'' (the pod she's confined in, and the control panels). The opening shots of Cordo are a copy of the opening shots of Winston Smith in the famous 1950s BBC version of ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]''.
* [[Smart People Play Chess]]: The Doctor plays chess with K-9. He's losing.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith a "The"]]
* [[Stealth Insult]]: Gatherer Hade has an ostentatious manner of addressing The Collector (your Immensity, your Hugeness, your Supernal Eminence, etc), but as their relationship breaks down under the strain of events the honorifics become somewhat insulting, as in: "I fear the situation is worsening, your Grossness!"
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: The Collector, upon realizing the revolution has finally caught up with him, is reduced to a babbling wreck as he slowly (and literally) goes down the drain.
