* FightSceneFailure: The fight between the Doctor and Ettis near the end of the fourth episode. It would actually have averted this trope, if not for the fact that it's shot so poorly that it's ''extremely'' obvious that the Doctor is being played by a FakeShemp throughout the fight. Usually Creator/JonPertwee did his own action sequences, but by this point in his run he was suffering from back problems, meaning a stunt double had to be used.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: A common criticism of this story is how heavily it repeats [[Recap/DoctorWhoS9E2TheCurseOfPeladon "The Curse of Peladon"]]. Many of this serial's characters are direct counterparts of its predecessor's cast, with the only major differentiation being the fact that Hepesh's role is split between Orton (a dogmatic, nationalist chancellor) and Eckersly (a human ally of the monarchy who turns out to be conspiring with an alien renegade to plunder Peladon's mineral deposits), and the plot features many of the same beats.

UI is now Flame Bait. The entry will be removed because it lacks proof that it is more than one person's thinking.

The serial shows a member state complaining about the burdens placed on them by membership and trying to break away, leading to a rise in violence. However, it can also come across as anti-Brexit, considering the trouble is being assisted by backwards-looking nationalists. The fact that the trouble is also being helped by an enemy force of the Federation (Galaxy Five) can even be connected to the likelihood that Russia [[http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/russian-interference-brexit-highly-probable-referendum-hacking-putin-a7472706.html influenced the referendum.]]
