Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Underworld

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 Underworld 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. 

• The climax to episode one relies on some very odd ideas about the laws of gravity. Particles of rock would not typically be attracted so rapidly to the hull of such a small spaceship, unless some additional force(s) were at work.

• How does firing the ships laser canons (presumably in a fixed direction) shift the rock from the whole of the hull?

• Herrick is shot several times by laser beams, yet not only survives but after he is rescued from the Oracle's lair, appears to be in perfect health, as opposed to all of the guards who appear to die instantly from single shots from similar weapons.
