Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Oxygen

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 Oxygen 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. 

• Why isn't the Doctor using his regeneration powers to repair his eyes?

Because it isn't life threatening and would be a waste of a full rejig.

There's never been any indication that a Time Lord can direct regeneration energy to repair a single part of their own body. We have only ever seen the Doctor do this to other people (i.e. River Song's wrist, reviving Davros), never to himself.
