 ::Also that was a different sonic screwdriver than in Forest of the Dead, remember in ''[[Smith and Jones]]'' - he had to get a new one. In ''[[The Eleventh Hour]]'' - the [[Eleventh Doctor]] needs also a new one.

-*How can there be photos of the Doctor, on the day before the Titanic set sail, at the assassination of John F. Kennedy and when Krakatoa erupted, without Rose? During this episode the Doctor implies several times that he has recently regenerated. You would expect the pictures can't be from the Doctor's future, because Rose is always with him until he regenerates into his David Tennant incarnation.

 ::We don't know that the Doctor was newly-regenerated. His surprise at his looks could be explained by the fact he has a busy life and may not have had time, or bothered, to look in a mirror. ''And how else did the Doctor imply he had recently regenerated?''

 :: At the very beginning of the 4th Doctor's era, he had a trip in the TARDIS and an unseen misadventure during ''[[Robot (TV story)|Robot]]'', which brought about the events seen in ''[[The Face of Evil (TV story)|The Face of Evil]]''. This is according to the novelisation of the latter story. However, it's not mentioned in either of the television versions.
-*When the Auton's arm attacks Rose, we see Jackie in her bedroom using the hair dryer, when her hair is clearly already dry.

-*When Mickey opens the lid to the rubbish bin and his hands are stuck to it, when he starts to stretch out the plastic and turn around, the strands switch hands instead of crossing.

 ::Clearly the plastic has the ability to do that.
 ::Or clearly the production team stuffed up; simple as that.
-*The Doctor says everything plastic shall come to life. However, during the Auton invasion, you can see heaps of plastic items that stay dormant. In fact, it's only the Shop Window Dummies that come to life. You can see shopping bags, chairs, bins that don't come to life at all.

 ::He means the plastic that is controlled by the Nestene, why would the Nestene make plastic bags come to life when you can have a whole army of shop dummies?
 :::Plastic bags could fly around and suffocate people.
 ::::Considering the way Auton-Mickey was blundering about unable to see after the Doctor pulled its head off, the plastic bags might have trouble finding their targets.
-*Why do the Autons have guns in their hands anyway? Normal shop window dummies don't.
+* Why do the Autons have guns in their hands anyway? Normal shop window dummies don't.
 ::They must've been specially made and planted in shop windows, presumably by the Nestene Consciousness. Some of them may even be left over from the original invasion of ''Spearhead from Space''.
 ::Another possibility is that the joints in the wrists normally used to join the hands to the torso are shooting hard plastic bullets.
-*Why couldn't Rose tell Mickey was an Auton? Anyone would have noticed the weird plastic sheen to his skin and hair.
+* Why couldn't Rose tell Mickey was an Auton? Anyone would have noticed the weird plastic sheen to his skin and hair.
 ::Rose was preoccupied thinking about the Doctor. Having almost been killed and then meeting a mysterious man, it is likely that she would not be thinking properly.
 ::The obviously plastic look was a production effect for our benefit. ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'' created the impression that Auton copies are extremely difficult to distinguish from normal humans.
-*The Doctor calls humans "stupid apes" but wouldn't the [[Gallifreyan]]s, being [[humanoid]] and almost physically identical to humans, had evolved from an ape-like race?
+* The Doctor calls humans "stupid apes" but wouldn't the [[Gallifreyan]]s, being [[humanoid]] and almost physically identical to humans, had evolved from an ape-like race?
 ::Possibly, but it was the humans who were being stupid.
 :::Plus, Time Lords are much more evolved than humans, so from the Doctor's perspective, humans could be considered the Time Lords' evolutionary equivalent of apes.
 :: Time Lords didn't evolve from apes. They evolved from humanoid cats that evolved from humanoid fish.
-*After Auton Mickey had lost his head, the body was blundering about as if it were blind, but the Auton arm could perfectly find The Doctor in Roses apartment, let alone get to the apartment.

-*When Rose ends her second encounter with The Doctor, she sees him walk up to the TARDIS. When it is out of her view, she hears it leave, runs back and sees that its gone. Yet, later on when they attempt to escape Auton Mickey, she sees it and runs for the gate. Why does she not think that it could be an escape route considering she saw it one moment and saw it disappear the next?
