Line 21:
Who promptly regenerates into [[John Simm]], steals the TARDIS and leaves our heroes stranded in the umpteen-billionth century with savages beating down the doors.
 
=== Tropes ===
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Though not widely known, this isn't the first time that Sir Derek Jacobi has played this character -- acharacter—a flash video of Scream of the Shalka has that honor.
* [[After the End]]
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Is the Doctor yelling at Martha because he's overwhelmed and impatient, and is trying to figure out how to save the human race AND deal with another Time Lord? Or is he panicking because he knows ''exactly'' [[Arch Nemesis|who's in Yana's watch]]?
Line 29:
* [[Big No]]
* [[Bond Villain Stupidity]]: Averted by {{spoiler|the Master:}} "Anyway. Why don't we stop and have a nice little chat while I tell you all my plans and you can work out a way to stop me. I DON'T think!"
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The fob watch makes an especially powerful one, as its appearance earlier in this series was adapted from a Seventh Doctor novel -- fansnovel—fans who'd read the novel would actually be less likely to think of its appearance in Family of Blood to be foreshadowing for the series' climax.
* [[Contest Winner Cameo]]: The kid with a speaking role is a ''[[Blue Peter]]'' competition winner. {{spoiler|His character gets turned into a Toclafane offscreen.}}
* [[Continuity Nod]]: The Doctor notes upon refueling that somebody's opened up the Rift since he was last there. The finale of the first season of ''[[Torchwood]]'' had this.
