Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Resolution

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 Resolution 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:

• Why does no one seem to remember the Dalek invasions of 2007 and 2009? (Doomsday (TV story), The Stolen Earth (TV story))

Bluntly, just lazy looking after of previous continuity.

In series 5, the Doctor was surprised Amy couldn't remember the 2009 Dalek invasion. It was revealed later on that the cracks in time had erased the RTD-era invasions (and possibly some classic ones). This is why it wasn't common knowledge in the Moffat-era that aliens existed and why Graham didn't believe they did in The Woman Who Fell to Earth.

Those events were not permantenly removed from the timeline. What did captain Brooke do then? How did Davros have footage of that event? And why is Rory suddenly back but these events aren’t? Cracks didn’t wipe it for good. It’s an assumption that made the writers wrongly not get pulled up for their bad connections.
