Line 36:
* [[Dressing as the Enemy]]: Ian at one point climbs into an immobilized Dalek.
** [[Fridge Horror|Fridge]] [[Squick]]: It must be ''really'' gross in there.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: The Daleks towards the Thals, simply because they are different; hence the deliberate use of [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]. The Daleks constantly refer to Thals as "mutants"
* [[For Want of a Nail]]: The Doctor intentionally sabotaged the fluid links of the TARDIS in order to strand them there, after his companions denied him the chance to satiate his curiousity about the Dalek City, claiming that they would now have to go there in order to find replacements (unaware that he actually HAD seriously damaged the TARDIS and the need for repairs was genuine). If he hadn't been impulsive, he may never have encountered the Daleks, starting the [[Timey-Wimey Ball]] rolling that lead to the Daleks manipulating their own timeline and beginning a campaign of terror, the Timelords attempting to intervene, "Genesis of the Daleks", and ultimately, the Time War itself.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The Daleks don't know what the TARDIS is, and when the Doctor mentions it, assume he's delirious. For future Daleks, the word TARDIS, especially one shaped like a blue box, is [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]].
