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 Survival 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 doesn't the Master, as much a Cheetah Person as Ace was, just teleport off the planet?
The Master doesn't realise that to use the teleportation powers does not necessarily mean becoming a full Cheetah Person.
It is equally possible that the Master has never had a place that he truly considers home.
Further to this point, since the closest thing he has to a true home is Gallifrey, where his life is almost certainly forfeit (after the treasonous incidents of his last two visits), he may have deemed it marginally safer to remain on the Cheetah world until he could effect a less suicidal escape route.
