* The use of "Rasputin" by Boney M. also has a line that goes "There was a cat that really was gone", representing how the Master was half-cat.

* FridgeBrilliance:
** The fragment of the Fifth Doctor mentions that passing through regeneration, there's no going back to a previous form. Of course, we already knew there were caveats to that, with [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd the Tenth Doctor "aborting" a regeneration]] (later revealed [[Recap/DoctorWho2013CSTheTimeOfTheDoctor to have been an actual regeneration where he kept his form]]), and [[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor the Fourth Doctor implicitly returning as the future Curator]]. At the end of the episode, Thirteen seems to regenerate back into Ten, likely related to the forced de-generation from the Master back to Thirteen.
** The fragment of the Eighth Doctor also mentions that he doesn't do robes, hence being the only fragment not wearing one. The robes the other Doctors are wearing actually look vaguely similar to the robe worn by the Master in [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie the TV movie]]. Couple that with how the end of the Eighth Doctor's life saw the beginning of the Time War, and it becomes very reasonable that he wouldn't fancy robes like the kind worn by Gallifreyan elites during a truly horrific event.
** With the knowledge of the Cyberium in his head, of course the Master would know how to make a working clone of Ashad and more [=CyberMasters=].
** The Master's powers, specifically inhuman physiology and hypnosis, mesh rather neatly with Rasputin's legend -- even if it's not clear in-universe where Rasputin ends and the Master begins.
* FridgeHorror: Tegan trying to climb down a long, long ladder and almost slipping is terrifying on its own. But it gets even worse when you remember that she had to watch a [[Creator/TomBaker version of the Doctor]] die by [[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E7Logopolis falling off like that]]. No wonder she didn't want to jump off a building with Ace!
