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 Oxygen 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:

... and so on. 
  • Why isn't the Doctor using his regeneration powers to repair his eyes?
Because it isn't life threatening and would be a waste of a full rejig.
There's never been any indication that a Time Lord can direct regeneration energy to repair a single part of their own body. We have only ever seen the Doctor do this to other people (i.e. River Song's wrist, reviving Davros), never to himself.
When the 10th Doctor was exterminated in The Stolen Earth, he actually repairs himself, and keeps the same body.
Well, he did restore his hand after it was sliced off at Christmas during the Sycorax invasion, but that stil required him to have triggered a complete regeneration beforehand. Point stands: he'd have to trigger a regeneration to heal the condition but such is a waste since he's isn't going to die from being blind.
Yet, the Doctor was able to use his regeneration powers to heal Rivers broken wrist.
Read it again mate, no need to remove someone's reply when they answered your point. The Doctor has healed others but never directly himself without regenerating.
Ohh, Buddy. I haven't removed anything. Infact, my comment was moved down, so its know out of context!
I believe the question has been answered. Debate over such edits should be left to talk pages only, not here.
  • The Doctor apparently can't see now. So why did he appear to see fine when in the TARDIS?
    • He was bluffing. He probably knew he was in the TARDIS from the noise it makes.
