Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/A Christmas Carol: Difference between revisions

::Yes, she had a day left. But very little is established as to how long she was out in the Christmases we saw, or that those were the only ones that occured. With out that, the timer could be counting down the interval between each thaw and refreeze, or it could be ticking off a "day" per opening and closing of the unit.

*The Doctor says that he has changed Kazran so much that the machine won't work for him. Surely the machine would have been altered to fit within the new timeline?

:::::Tell you what, let's apply a little physics here. The Blinovitch Limitation Effect takes place when matter comes into physical contact with a time-shifted version of itself. But think about it - if something like that were to really happen, then surely it must occur at a molecular level. For instance - the Brigadier's right hand touched the Brigadier's right hand, finger to finger and palm to palm. So the EXACT SAME molecules and cells were coming into contact with themselves. The same for the sonic screwdriver in The Big Bang - it touches its own head. But here, as far as I could see, no part of Kazran's body actually touched its counterpart on his other self. In fact, direct contact was blocked for the most part by their dressing-gowns. So there you go.
