Trope name is Sci Fi Writers Have No Sense Of Scale, not any of its subpages. Discussion here.


* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: More specifically, SciFiWritersHave/NoSenseOfMass. Putting aside individuals claiming to rule entire galaxies, multiple galaxies joining up to conquer a single star system is nothing less than massive overkill. A throwaway line suggests the Hand Wave that Earth exhibits influence beyond its normal sphere, but militarily it's never described as anything but the "solar system". Probably why it gets changed in this story to conquering the known universe, starting with the solar system.

* VillainHasAPoint: When Steven and Sara call out the Monk for the suggestion to use them as hostages, the Monk retorts by pointing out that if he hadn't made that suggestion, there would have been a far greater chance of Chen and the Daleks just killing them. While it's clear that his main motivation was saving his own skin, Sara has to acknowledge that he has at least something of a point.

* AscendedExtra: Sara Kingdom only appears in this story, but she is regarded as a companion by some traditionalist fans and reference guides because of the extremely long length of the serial and the fact she gets to travel in the TARDIS. [[note]](The "anyone who travels in the TARDIS is a companion" rule was developed during this era of the show because there was very rarely any TARDIS travel inside stories. Later generations of fans would be more dubious about it because of ludicrous results like [[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E2CityOfDeath Duggan]] or the platoon of Cybermen who hijack the TARDIS in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E1AttackOfTheCybermen Attack of the Cybermen]]", and also because it would disqualify Liz Shaw.)[[/note]] The Expanded Universe depicts her having further adventures with the Doctor and Steven that take place during this story, more solidly cementing her place.
