* LightningCanDoAnything: Mary convinces Grahm the Cyberman to apply lightning to boot it and Brem, the Silver Turk, up to strength.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The Cybermen in this story are a lot more... emotional than they should be. It's a sign of how badly damaged they are, [[spoiler: as Grahm dies he miserably exclaims "There is no logic"]]

* MonsterSobStory: When Mary speaks with Grahm and it thinks Mondas has been saved, because there is a sun in the sky, and that all their sacrifices were not in vain.

He promises her to see the wonders of the world, so where better than the [[ScienceFair Vienna World Fair]]!?
But all the wonders of the world can muster are nothing when compared to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Turk Silver Turk]].
