Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Logopolis: Difference between revisions

*When Nyssa objects to the Doctor collaborating with the Master, the Doctor states "I've never chosen my own company." but in the very first Doctor Who ([[An Unearthly Child]] ), he CHOSE to kidnap Barbara and Ian. Susan pleaded with him to let them go.

::The Doctor is speaking generally, reflecting on how he oftend ends up in the company of certain people rather than selecting to have them with him. Recent to that time in his life, Romana, Adric, Tegan, and Nyssa could all be described in such a manner. If you really want to think of it as such, you could even argue that the Doctor felt forced to "kidnap" Ian and Barbara, because he feared the consequences of letting them go and potentially tell others of him and the TARDIS.

*This story features the Doctor's TARDIS materialising around the Master's TARDIS and creating a [[gravity bubble]] and the [[recursion|recursive]] phenomena of infinite TARDIS'es nesting within each other. Two TARDIS's materialised "inside" each other in [[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster]]'', but did not happen when the TARDIS materialised inside [[Professor Chronotis]]'s rooms (actually his TARDIS in disguise) in the untelevised [[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]''.

::Chronotis's room was not a complete TARDIS; it was not dimensionally transcendant.
