* When the Doctor tries to warn the fellow passengers by grabbing the microphone the singer was using, it is branded Magpie electricals; why would a Sto microphone be branded Magpie Electricals. ''It could be for the same reason the ship looks like the Titanic in that they wanted everything to be as close to Earths variant as possible and that magpie electronics appeared to be a big brand name in the show and thus would be the brand they decided to style it on.'' | * When the Doctor tries to warn the fellow passengers by grabbing the microphone the singer was using, it is branded Magpie electricals; why would a Sto microphone be branded Magpie Electricals.

* The opening collision between the TARDIS and the ship raises several questions: Why would a space-going vessel have a foghorn? How could a vessel in space expel a life preserver (and why would one even be needed?) And how was the captain of the ship not aware that it had not only collided with another craft, but had briefly embedded itself within it? ''The foghorn and life preserver make the ship seem authentic, and more realistic like the Titanic itself. Perhaps the vessel is designed to enter the atmosphere of a planet, and thus the foghorn would be used.'' | * The opening collision between the TARDIS and the ship raises several questions: Why would a space-going vessel have a foghorn?

As for the captain being strangely unaware - only Midshipman Frame new about the meteors and the Captain was after all under orders to crash the Titanic so maybe he did know about the crash but thought that (if anything) that it would only damage the ship more and make it crash faster.'' | ||
*It's odd that the ''Titanic'' could be so faithfully recreated, yet hardly anything correct could be known about Christmas and Earth in general. ''Copper, by his own admission, is not a very good historian. We never really hear anyone else discussing the facts. Looking at Sto's teleportation technology it is posssible that someone from Sto was onboard and survived the events of the original Titanic.'' | *It's odd that the ''Titanic'' could be so faithfully recreated, yet hardly anything correct could be known about Christmas and Earth in general.

*The Doctor explicitly gives his age as 903 which, while consistent with the ages given in episodes of the revived series, contradict the last on-screen age given as 953 in ''[[Time and the Rani]]'' - ''It's not the first time he's made an error with his age '' | *The Doctor explicitly gives his age as 903 which, while consistent with the ages given in episodes of the revived series, contradict the last on-screen age given as 953 in ''[[Time and the Rani]]'' - ''It's not the first time he's made an error with his age '' | ||
