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 Small Worlds 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 point two.
::Explanation of point two.
::Further discussion and query of point two.

... and so on. 

• Captain Jack claims he does not sleep (TW: Ghost Machine) but at the beginning of this episode he does.

He could have simple being closing his eyes, or attempting to get some sleep. It could also be possible that Jack was simply exaggerating or simply lying. He may have just meant he doesn't need sleep and not that it is biologically impossible for him to sleep at all.

• Fairies kill people who cause harm to chosen ones, then why did they kill Estelle who wouldn't hurt a fly?

They don't just kill those who harm the Chosen Ones. They're not kind faeries, as Jack stated. They kill anyone who gets too close, it is also possible that they were worried if people knew about them, they would develop a way to stop them.

• If several people were chocking at once wouldn't there be choking noises

it could have been to fast for the men to react
