renamed to Prefers Going Barefoot and rewritten to focus on characters who explicitly dislike wearing shoes


* DoesNotLikeShoes: The Doctor is barefoot for most of this episode. Both justified and lampshaded by the fact that he exposed himself to radiation, and then expelled it to his left shoe, so naturally he had to take his shoe off, but Martha, naturally, thought him taking all the radiation was madness. He, however, takes that to mean that he will look "daft" with one shoe, so he pulls the right one off too, then refers to himself (complete with a close-up of a sexy pair) as "barefoot on the Moon". Also, later in the episode, he tries to hide his true identity, and justify why he is barefoot by saying he came into the hospital for his bunions.

* ApocalypseHow: The Plasmavore's EvilPlan is to use a modified MRI to send out a WorldWreckingWave from the moon which will "fry the brain stems of every living thing" within a range that includes the side of the Earth that's facing the moon at the time. This would have caused a ApocalypseHow/Class1-[[ApocalypseHow/Class2 2]] in terms of humanity, and a ApocalypseHow/Class4 in terms of the Earth's biosphere, with all vertebrate life on one side of the planet spontaneously perishing.

* ApocalypseHow: Had the Plasmavore won, her EvilPlan would've caused a ApocalypseHow/Class1 in terms of humanity, likely a ApocalypseHow/Class4 in terms of the Earth's biosphere. Her modifications to the MRI would've sent out a WorldWreckingWave from the moon which would've fried every last brain stem within a range that included the side of the Earth facing the moon at the time (and only that side).

* TakingYouWithMe: When the Plasmavore is busted, with a squad of Judoon troopers facing her, she has her last remaining Slab hold off the Judoon long enough for her to activate the brain stem-frying MRI that was originally meant to enable her escape attempt; choosing to make sure that the Judoon, everyone in the hospital, and half the Earth's population go down with her. Thankfully, the Doctor shuts it down.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: The Judoon. They're trying to stop a sociopathic killer. They do this by transporting an entire hospital and everyone inside it to the Moon. Ultimately, they return it as planned, but it's still an incredible risk to take with the lives of probably hundreds of innocent bystanders. [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E11TurnLeft "Turn Left"]] reveals that, if the Doctor hadn't intervened, everybody but one man in that hospital (including Martha) would have suffocated. Similarly, the book ''Judgement of the Judoon'' opens with them forcing their way into a spaceship by driving an access tunnel through the hull, in order to ask the occupants about the Invisible Assassin. On discovering that they don't know anything, the Judoon leave... and don't think twice about retracting the access tunnel to leave a gaping hole.
