*Since every other "disintegrator beam" was actually a secondary transmat system, when the Anne Droid shoots the 3 Daleks with it, wouldn't they just be sent back to the Dalek mothership like the Controller and Rose? ''The Doctor might have thought about this and changed the transmat beam into a disintegrator beam.'' ''Even if it sent them to the ship it would buy some time to finish the delta wave.'' | *Since every other "disintegrator beam" was actually a secondary transmat system, when the Anne Droid shoots the 3 Daleks with it, wouldn't they just be sent back to the Dalek mothership like the Controller and Rose?

*How does the Doctor know to turn his head when his hologram appears to Rose in the TARDIS? He can't have been transmitting live because he said that "he bets" Rose was fussing and moaning - as in he couldn't see her. It's unlikely that he would have gotten to know her so well he could turn his head at the right moment and stare at the right place. ''The program was probably tied in with the TARDIS' sentient systems. Also there are interactive computer programs in real life that can react in this way.'' | *How does the Doctor know to turn his head when his hologram appears to Rose in the TARDIS?

Another case of this happening is in [[The Age of Steel]] when the Doctor being watched by Mickey points were the last digit in the sequense should go whilst saying the number. This sugests that at times the Doctor can predict in some way events that appear to be random. | ||
*When the Daleks were trying to get to the Doctor using the lifts, why did they stop at every floor? Why not just go straight up to floor 500? ''Possibly so if the Doctor managed to escape floor 500, he would be caught in an ambush. The Daleks also wanted to be thorough and make sure all the humans were exterminated.'' | *When the Daleks were trying to get to the Doctor using the lifts, why did they stop at every floor?

*The Doctor saves Rose's life by taking the vortex energy out of her. He then returns the energy to the TARDIS. Why, then, do the effects of the energy kill him? It should either kill them both (as they both had the energy in them) or neither of them (as they both lost it). ''Some novels have stated that, while regenerating, a body can absorb [[artron energy]] and feed it into the regenerative process. Assuming that the vortex energy is the same as artron energy, it is possible that the Doctor deliberately triggered a regeneration, possibly allowing him to absorb the energy from Rose. The regeneration then had to complete. It's also possible the vortex energy had a different effect on the Doctor's physiology when he absorbed it.'' | *The Doctor saves Rose's life by taking the vortex energy out of her.

* How does everyone on Satellite 5 (Including Jack) know about the Daleks? ''The story takes place hundreds of millennia from now, and the ''Doctor Who'' franchise has featured many Dalek events, including several invasions of Earth. Presumably by this far-future time they would likely be well known. Jack, as a Time Agent, might well have encountered Daleks in his own adventures. Even if only "new series" references are counted, the events of [[The Stolen Earth]]/[[Journey's End]] made the Daleks known world-wide.'' | * How does everyone on Satellite 5 (Including Jack) know about the Daleks?

The Daleks may have ended up like the Doctor is to races that knew about the time lord race such as the [[shadow proclamation]]. | ||
