(The existence of Looms is up for debate. We can't say for certain that they do or do not exist. I made the uncertainty reasonably clear.) |

* Even though it is just a small space shuttle Jenny seems surprisingly confident that she can travel the entire Universe with it. ''Again, her Time Lord nature might allow her to figure out things as she goes, possibly even enhancing the shuttle's capabilities. We also don't know what those capabilities are; if it has warp speed (which exists in the Whoniverse) or some other faster-than-light drive, she could only be hours away from a civilized planet.'' | * Even though it is just a small space shuttle Jenny seems surprisingly confident that she can travel the entire Universe with it.

*The Doctor refers to the method of Jenny's creation as "not what [he calls] natural parentage". This is somewhat ironic, given that he was created [[loom|in much the same way]]. However, this is not really a discrepancy as the use of the Looms was necessitated by the [[Pythia]]'s curse, and that Gallifreyans would naturally reproduce sexually. ''By showing a young Master with the appearance of a child in ''[[The Sound of Drums]]'', the current production team may have shown that they do not consider the Looms to exist in official continuity. How this would tie in with the on-screen reference to the [[Cartmel Masterplan]] in ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks]]'' (where the Doctor implies that he was present at the creation of the [[Hand of Omega]]) would therefore be a new mystery in itself.'' | *The Doctor refers to the method of Jenny's creation as "not what [he calls] natural parentage".

Another possibility is that the Doctor simply meant that the manner in which the tissue sample was taken - by force - is not natural parenting.'' | ||
