Line 20:
== Tropes ==
* [[Ace Pilot]]: Danny Boy. {{
* [[Affectionate Pickpocket]]: Attempted by ''Churchill'' on ''the Doctor'' (in order to get the TARDIS key). Amy calls him on it.
* [[Amnesia Danger]]: Amy, [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E05 Flesh and Stone|owing to]] [[Arc Words|the cracks in the wall]]...
Line 29:
* [[Civilian Villain]]
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: The new Daleks - White Daleks are Supremes, Reds are Soldiers, Blues are Strategists, Oranges are Scientists and Yellows are Eternals. [[Shrug of God|Probably.]]
* [[Call Back]] / [[Continuity Nod]]:
** The concept of Daleks pretending to be servants goes all the way to the Second Doctor's seasons in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S4/E03 The Power of the Daleks|The Power of the Daleks]]".
Line 78 ⟶ 75:
* [[The Power of Love]]: {{spoiler|It's Bracewell's memory of the woman he loved that enables him to break free of Dalek control and assert his humanity.}}
* [[Punctuated Pounding]]: While the Doctor beats on one of the Daleks with a giant wrench.
{{quote|'''The Doctor:''' [[
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: One reason for the Dalek redesign was that the RTD Dalek props were built with [[Billie Piper]]'s height in mind, so the new Daleks were built to match [[Matt Smith]]'s height. [[Karen Gillan]] even says in the Confidential episode that they're taller than her.
* [[Reality Subtext]]: The new Daleks exterminating the last three RTD Daleks in existence. Old props out, new props in.
Line 85 ⟶ 82:
** The names of the new Daleks. Originally, Moffat and Gatiss didn't know which Dalek had what name, but dammit they sounded awesome.
* [[Sadistic Choice]]: [[Heroes (TV series)|Save the Daleks, save the world.]] [[Batman Gambit|Naturally, after being saved]], the Daleks try to detonate their [[Earthshattering Kaboom|bomb]] anyway.
* [[Schizo-Tech]]: Remote surveillance of the Dalek ship displayed on a black-and-white monitor, and obviously, 1941 Spitfires that fly {{
* [[Shout-Out]]: "Broadsword Calling Danny Boy", a reference to ''[[Where Eagles Dare]]''.
** The Doc says Bracewell's memories and personality was uploaded to a [[Isaac Asimov|positronic]] [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|brain]]. Can't be a very good one, though, seeing as the man designs [["Three Laws"-Compliant|war machines]].
