Give me one line of dialogue from [[The Big Bang]] that says the events of this or any episode did not happen. You won't find one. Until and unless a future episode of Doctor Who includes a character stating "oh, yeah, everything changed and has been reset" then to say anything of this sort is speculation and fanon of the worst kind. I deleted this nonsense, but kept the comment regarding Brooke because that is a viable example of on-screen evidence that actually supports the theory.

Can anyone advise on the best place for errors in an episode that can be explained - the talk page or within the entry? I only ask because I have a couple for this episode:
 
*The map of the US shown on Van Statten's monitor is missing the upper peninsula of Michigan.
**This could be missing in this version of 2012.
 
*The security guard holding the stairs against the Dalek as Rose and Adam escape is given a close up as she's firing her gun. With every shot, she blinks, showing that the actress has had very little experience in firing firearms.
**This can be explained by the fact that the guard in question has probably never needed to draw her weapon before, much less fire it!

2.2 Updated with new information[[edit source]]

Placement of Explainable Errors[[edit source]]

Can anyone advise on the best place for errors in an episode that can be explained - the talk page or within the entry? I only ask because I have a couple for this episode:

  • The map of the US shown on Van Statten's monitor is missing the upper peninsula of Michigan.
    • This could be missing in this version of 2012.
  • The security guard holding the stairs against the Dalek as Rose and Adam escape is given a close up as she's firing her gun. With every shot, she blinks, showing that the actress has had very little experience in firing firearms.
    • This can be explained by the fact that the guard in question has probably never needed to draw her weapon before, much less fire it!
