Line 23:
* [[Action Girl]] - Agent Sara Kingdom.
* [[Always Save the Girl]] - Painfully subverted in part 4, hilariously subverted in part 7
* [[Anyone Can Die]] - Sara, Katarina and Bret [[Kill
* [[Apocalypse How]] - Kembel suffers a Class 6, being reduced to a lifeless dustball by the effects of the Time Destructor.
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]] - Cactic power
Line 43:
* [[Evil vs. Evil]]: Of the Unholy Alliance to take over the Universe, at least the Daleks, Chen and ''his adviser'' are all suffering from [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]] and are all ready to take over the others as well to rule the Universe alone. Anyone else involved and not chronic backstabbers (which the Daleks seem to equivalent and/or confuse with power-hungry) and with enough power to seem like a hindrance in one of the bigger schemer's way will risk a quick death.
** In "Counter-Plot", Daleks vs. Monsters (which are strongly said to be ''not'' [[Gentle Giant|Gentle Giants]] but ferocious creatures) Daleks wipe out all who dare approach them, not without their moments of panic.
* [[Fakin' MacGuffin]] - At one point, the Doctor manages to get away from the Daleks by handing over a fake version of the taranium core they're chasing him for.
* [[Forgotten Fallen Friend]] - Katarina. After her death in episode 4, the only time she's mentioned again is at the very end of episode 12.
* [[God Guise]]: Katarina thinks the Doctor is the god Zeus and the strange worlds they travel through are the Afterlife. The Doctor is not happy and neither were the writers -- given the difficulty of writing a character who fails to have at least a basic understanding of her situation (not to mention a [[Sarcastic Devotee|healthy skeptism]] about the Doctor) she was quickly bumped off -- the first companion to get killed and the last for some time.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]] - {{spoiler|Katarina, Bret, Sara}}
* [[Hey
* [[Hostage Situation]] - Happens three times, and the Doctor only manages to save the situation once.
* [[Hostage for Macguffin]] - Twice, but the first time is a subversion.
* [[I Don't Like the Sound of That Place]] - Desperus
* [[I Surrender, Suckers]] - The Doctor pulls this twice over the Daleks, first time probably knowing that the natives will distract the Daleks, and the second time as a [[Batman Gambit]] to free Steven from the choking shield.
* [[Insane Troll Logic]] - Chen thinking the Doctor just wants his place next to the Daleks. Hey, after his [[Villainous Breakdown]], he went insane, so that's a bit of an excuse.
** The Egyptian's ''[[Sarcasm Mode|marvelous]]'' [[Bat Deduction]] that [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens|the Daleks]] are not their Gods because ''they speak in notions they can't comprehend''. Because, you know, if your Gods would decide to talk to, say, other Gods right above you, they'd be ''speaking your language and in terms you understand'', right?
* [[I Will Only Slow
* [[Kill
* [[Large Ham]] - Mavic Chen slowly descends into this as his grip on sanity loosens.
* [[Legion of Doom]] - The Daleks and the Galactic Council.
Line 83:
* [[Villainous Breakdown]] - Chen goes insane at the realization that the Daleks don't need him either and his mind concupts the paranoid idea that the Doctor doesn't want to destroy the Daleks, but ''[[Insane Troll Logic|wants to hand them over the McGuffin and rule in Chen's place]]'', followed by...
* [[We Hardly Knew Ye]] - {{spoiler|Katarina, Bret, Sara}}
* [[Weirdness Censor]] - Sara. Getting inside a ship bigger on the inside? No reason to mention it, or wonder about it. 1066? Question the reference of a later year, but pretend it didn't happen. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Random people trying to dress you up in weird clothes for unspecified reasons?]] ''Pyramids and Egyptians''? Sure why not. All it matters is getting where they're supposed to and finishing the mission. It was [[Foreshadow|foreshadowed]] by Chen that she was unquestioning loyal, but it becomes ridiculous as the series progresses.
** The expanded universe novels subsequently did an [[
* [[Wham Episode]] - ''The Traitors'' and ''The Destruction of Time'', which featured Katarina and Sara's deaths respectively.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: A spin-off series featuring Space Security vs the Daleks was contemplated. Bret Vyon was intended to be in it, meaning that someone else would have ended up playing [[The Brigadier]].
