			* How can the Krotons disperse the TARDIS at a distance? They claim to be able to do this when looking at the TARDIS from within their ship.
			* Why does the Kroton leaving the Dynotrope require 'vision control'? Why can the Krotons see via the video link but not directly? It is too light outside? If so why not wait until it is dark before leaving the Dynatrope?
			* 'The Dynatrope will exhaust in 3 hours' - convenient that the Krotons use the same measurement of time (or at least the same name) as Earth.
			* Conversion of mental power to energy is an interesting idea.

			For conversion into full article:

			* Background to the Krotons as a race can be found in Alien Bodies (8th Doctor and Sam)
			* One of my favourite TARDIS teams - Zoe for the brains, Jamie for the brawn (and although Zoe tends to be scantily-clad, she is at least on a par with the Doctor when it comes to intelligence, as the tests of the Krotons show).
			* Several actors from Dad's Army - or rather the other way round given recording dates.
			* Do none of the Gonds realise that those who enter the Kroton's craft never return? There must be hundreds of 'companions' in there by now.
			* Quite liked the voice of the Krotons, wasn't too similar to anything else (e.g. Daleks or Cybermen).
			* Shame that the Krotons are so immobile, not exactly difficult to run away from.
			* Idea of guiding development of the Gonds and avoiding the discovery of dangerous (to the Krotons) technology was interesting, although this seems like an incredibly long game to play.
			* Krotons are not the most frightening of monsters given their slow movement and their initial inability to leave their ship.
			* One wonders how the Gonds are useful to the Krotons, given that they are kept at such a primitive level of development.
			* 'I'm not a doctor of medicine Zoe' says the Doctor, directly contradicting what he told Polly in The Moonbase.
