Quotes
====================================
"Hatred? Another fantasy. I have no feelings one way or the other. Outside of these experiments you have absolutely no significance." ~ The Rani
"I'm a bit worried about the temporal flicker in sector thirteen. There's a bicentennial refit of the Tardis to book in. I must just pop over to Centauri Seven and then perhaps a quick holiday. Right, that all seems quite clear. Just three small points. Where am I? Who am I? And who are you? The Rani! Stay back!" ~ The Seventh Doctor
"Since you were exiled from Gallifrey, you've had nothing but contempt for all other Time Lords." ~ The Seventh Doctor
"I had all I can take of that cant in our university days. Am I expected to abandon my research because of the side effects on inferior species. Are you prepared to abandon walking in case you squash an insect underfoot?" ~ The Rani
The 7th Doctor: A bad workman always blames his fools.
The Rani: Tools! Blames his tools!
"How do you know what I'm like? I've regenerated. I mean, look at me. Look at me. Perhaps this is my new persona. Sulky, bad-tempered. I mean, think how I spoke to you earlier. Even so, that's probably how I am now. You don't understand regeneration, Mel. It's a lottery, and I've drawn the short plank." ~ The Seventh Doctor
"The more I know me, the less I like me." ~ The Seventh Doctor
"Absence makes the nose grow longer." ~ The Seventh Doctor
"Is she? Oh, don't underestimate her. She's a brilliant but sterile mind. There's not one spark of decency in her." ~ The Seventh Doctor
Mel: Well then, tell me, are we just running scared or are we heading for somewhere in particular?
Ikona: The answer to both questions is yes. Now can we go?
"Well, they kidnapped the Doctor, and no one would do that unless they were desperate for his help. He's not exactly predictable." ~ Mel
"Strange matter. A Princeton physicist discovered it in your Earth year 1984. It's an incredibly dense form of matter. A lump the size of this would weigh more than your planet Earth." ~ The Seventh Doctor
Mel: Well, go on, quick. Nine five three.
The 7th Doctor: Who'd have thought she'd have been so obvious. Huh. That's my age. And the Rani's.
"Geniuses, every one of them. The Rani's collected together the most creative minds and the most powerful matter in the universe." ~ The Seventh Doctor
Mel: You're a Time Lord.
The 7th Doctor: With a unique conceptual understanding of the properties of time.
"Yes, well, where there's a will, there's a Tom, Dick and a Harriet." ~ The Seventh Doctor
"It's composed of strange matter, Beyus. A devastating force. With the right trigger, that harmless asteroid, as you call it, could incinerate your planet and anything else in this corner of the galaxy. And what does the Rani keep behind there? Oh, all good things come to a bend." ~ The Seventh Doctor
"So stupid. You are not a worthy opponent for the Rani." ~ Urak
"A bird in the hand keeps the Doctor away. Only on this occasion, it'll have the opposite affect." ~ The Seventh Doctor
"Out of the frying pan into the mire." ~ The Seventh Doctor
Mel: She might think she's harnessed the brain of a Time Lord but she's reckoned without one thing.
Beyus: And what's that?
Mel: The Doctor's character.
"Gentlemen, such hostility. Remember, blessed are the pie makers for they shall make light pastry." ~ The Seventh Doctor
"Doctor, before this regeneration you were on keen on cats and you know what curiosity did to them." ~ Mel
"A time manipulator. You're going to change this planet into a time manipulator. I don't believe it. A time manip...This monstrosity will give you the ability to change the order of creation." ~ The Seventh Doctor
"Before I thought you were a psychopath without murderous intent. I withdraw the qualification." ~ The Seventh Doctor
The 7th Doctor: Well, time and tide melts the snowman.
Mel: Waits for no man.
The 7th Doctor: Who's waiting? I'm ready.

Trivia
====================================
The concept of creating a weapon by collecting the minds of all the great thinkers, including the Doctor's, was also used in the unfinished and unbroadcast story Shada. Both stories involve the Doctor using his stolen consciousness to counteract the weapon.
This is the first story to feature computer generated images (CGI) for the titles and many of the effects (including the TARDIS's flight through space in the pre-title sequence).
The story's 'problems' can be partly explained as Pip and Jane Baker (the writers) had no idea who would be playing the new Doctor or how he would be characterized - and, at least when they started work on the project, the series had no script editor for them to discuss things with.
Colin Baker declined to return to his role for a regeneration sequence. As a result, Sylvester McCoy donned a wig and the Sixth Doctor's costume and briefly appeared as the Sixth Doctor, making him the only actor to play (technically) two different incarnations of the Doctor. McCoy also spends much of the early part of the story clad in the Sixth Doctor's outfit.
During the regeneration, the exercise bike the Sixth Doctor rides in Terror of the Vervoids is visible in the TARDIS control room. In Issue 409 of Doctor Who Magazine, in an article on regeneration, the writer suggests that the Sixth Doctor's "mortal" injury may have been caused by him falling off the bike.
While trying on clothes, the Seventh Doctor briefly wears the outfits of his fourth, third, and fifth incarnations as well as the fur coat of his second incarnation.
This would be the last time a TARDIS other than the Doctor's was shown on-screen until the non-canonical charity special Dimensions in Time. In canon Doctor Who terms, another TARDIS would not appear until the "Junk TARDIS" in The Doctor's Wife.
