* {{Homage}}: This story is one of times that ''Doctor Who'' has come closest to ''Franchise/StarTrek'', lampshaded by the "Federation" reference. In particular, it bears clear parallels with the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "Journey to Babel", with political intrigue among an assortment of distinctive-looking alien characters centring around a planet's application to join the Federation.
