You are exploring the Discontinuity Index, a place where any details or rumours about unreleased stories are forbidden.
Please discuss only those whole stories which have already been released, and obey our spoiler policy.

This page is for discussing the ways in which They Keep Killing Suzie doesn't fit well with other DWU narratives. You can also talk about the plot holes that render its own, internal narrative confusing.

Remember, this is a forum, so civil discussion is encouraged. However, please do not sign your posts. Also, keep all posts about the same continuity error under the same bullet point. You can add a new point by typing:

* This is point one.
::This is a counter-argument to point one.
:::This is a counter-argument to the counter-argument above
* This is point two.
::Explanation of point two.
::Further discussion and query of point two.

... and so on. 
  • Near the end of the episode, when Suzie and Gwen arrive at the pier, it is bright daytime, yet this scene immediately follows a shot of dawn barely breaking over the horizon, which itself followed an outside shot of Jack and Owen in the car in dark pre-dawn. By Owen's estimate, not more than a few minutes could have elapsed yet the shadows on the pier indicate it must have been at least four hours after sunrise.
  • Ianto says Suzie had a number of deaths but both times she died it was from a gunshot.
One was self-inflicted, which would be on a death certificate as suicide. The other was definitely not. Also, it could be argued that it wasn't Jack shooting her multiple times that was the cause of death the second time, but the destruction of the glove.
