Episode Quotes

Commander Strax: It's strange. I have often dreamed of dying in combat. I'm not enjoying it as much as I'd hoped.

Commander Strax: [the TARDIS has landed nearby] I hope someday to meet you in glory of battle where I will crush the life from your worthless human form. Try and get some rest. [Walks towards the TARDIS]

Commander Strax: Rory, I'm a nurse!

Trivia

The chevrons worn by the clerics on their sleeves are almost identical to the modern logo of the United States Air Force.
When Madame Vrasta exits her cab, she says "Thank you Parker, I won't be needing you again tonight", and the cab driver responds with "Yes, milady". This is right out of "Thunderbirds", where Lady Penelope would address her chauffeur, Parker.
SPOILER: According to Simon Fisher-Becker the decapitation of Dorium was longer with much emphasis on Dorium having no head.
The uniforms worn by the soldiers are of identical design to the Airman Battle Uniform (ABU) worn by members of the United States Air Force.
Alex Kingston filmed her roles in two days.
