Line 41:
* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: Since the story takes place in between seasons two and three of ''Forever Knight'', we know that Nick, LaCroix, Janette, and Natalie will live. Schanke will also survive, but [[Bus Crash|not for long]]. Also, given how the story ends, it's implied that {{spoiler|Janette [[The Bus Came Back|returning to Toronto]] as a human in ''FN'''s third season is a result of the Eighth Doctor's help, and we know that this will ultimately be [[Reset Button|doomed to failure]].}}
* [[Have We Met Yet?]]: The Fifth Doctor and Nyssa<ref>* (between [[Doctor Who/Recap/S19 E7 Time-Flight|"Time-Flight"]] and [[Doctor Who/Recap/S20 E1 Arc of Infinity|"Arc Of Infinity"]])</ref> run into the Master.<ref>* (post-[[Doctor Who/Recap/S26 E4 Survival|"Survival"]], pre-[[Doctor Who/TVM the TV Movie/Recap|TV Movie]])</ref> The following exchange occurs:
{{quote| '''Five''': So, you managed to escape from Xeraphas, did--<br />
'''The Master''': Oh, stop. [[Doctor Who/Recap/S20 E6 The Kings Demons|We've had this conversation before]], Doctor. [[Timey-Wimey Ball|We're off-phase this time.]] }}
* [[In Medias Res]]: The story starts out with the Eighth Doctor investigating a mystery in 1995 Toronto, then [[Flash Back|flashes back]] to the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa in 1348 France. The narrative goes back and forth after that.
* [[Red Herring]]: Nicholas Knight is investigating doll-sized human corpses when the Eighth Doctor shows up on the scene. Seasoned Whovians immediately suspect that the Master is killing people with his tissue compression eliminator again. Except it isn't him this time.
* [[Title Drop]]:
{{quote| '''Janette''': Release me now and I will help you. I will stay with you...<br />
'''Pierre''': Forever, Janette?<br />
'''Janette''': Forever. }}
* [[Translation Convention]]/[[Translator Microbes]]: Played with on [http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=314 this page.] Upon encountering the TARDIS in the woods, LaCroix sees its signage in Latin, Janette sees it in French, and Nicholas sees it in Dutch.
Line 65:
== ''Outrage'' (crossover with ''Jem'') ==
* [[The Atoner]]: The real {{spoiler|Eric Raymond}}, who goes back to work for Starlight Studios after being freed.
{{quote| '''Jetta''': Some kind of infiltration scheme, eh? Break 'em from within!<br />
'''{{spoiler|Eric Raymond}}''': Actually no. It's a thing called redemption and forgiveness. You should look it up. }}
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: {{spoiler|Roxy saves the day by sneaking up on Techrat, getting the best of him, and punching him off the railing, saving both Rio and the Doctor.}}
Line 85:
* [[Shout-Out]]: [http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=534 Page 49] has a nice little shout-out to the [http://twominutetimelord.com "Two-Minute Time Lord"] podcast.
* [[Spanner in the Works]]:
{{quote| '''Mel''': Oh, I'm not worried. I know you've got a plan.<br />
'''Six''': Well, I did. But it rather depended on a distinct absence of certain bouffant-haired pop stars. }}
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Rich didn't follow up on Ashley's role in the story, even though she was there when {{spoiler|Jerrica finally reveals that she's Jem}}.
Line 107:
* [[Continuity Nod]]: The Misfits' song "Behind the Mask" from ''Outrage'' is heard at the beginning of the story. The Doctor wonders where he's heard it before.
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]] / [[Male Gaze]]: Donna's dress.
{{quote| '''Donna:''' Between [the sonic screwdriver] and your trainers, I'm amazed they let you in here.<br />
'''Ten:''' I know. Security seemed to be distracted by something... }}
* [[Foreshadowing]]: On Page 013, Ten mentions the [[Stargate SG-1|SGC]]. Rich not-too-subtly hinted in the page comments that there's going to be yet another ''Who'' crossover to that effect sometime later on...
* [[Fiction as Cover Up]]: Bond's franchise, and apparently a few others as well...
{{quote| '''Ten:''' Clever, isn't it? Your immediate reaction: it's a movie, so it can't be real. }}
* [[Noticing the Fourth Wall]]: Apparently the Doctor has.
{{quote| '''Ten:''' Even I had a TV show once. Got cancelled in the late '80s last time I checked, though.}}
* [[Perception Filter]]: Bond's name. Ten explains it to Donna: whenever Bond gives his standard "[[Bond James Bond]]." introduction, it activates an audio perception filter.
{{quote| '''Ten:''' When said in a certain way the person hearing it remembers the name and face, but not the details about him. It gets fuzzy. Like a dream you can remember but can't recall the exact details. It won't work every time and it doesn't work on the same person more than a few times. But it's enough to fool a lot of people.}}
** Then, to demonstrate, he uses the line on Donna, and she instantly forgets who Bond is.
* [[To Be Continued]]:
