Forum:The Sarah Jane Adventures television discontinuity and plot holes/Sky

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 the discussion of anti-canonical narrative and simple plot holes that you find (or at the very least, you think you find) in the Doctor Who universe story, Sky. Remember, this is a forum, so civil discussion is encouraged. However, as this is a slightly different section of the forum, this time please do not sign your answers/questions. Please 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. 

• Although much of the series relies on suspension of disbelief, the idea that two untrained teenagers (even those with experience dealing with alien invasions) are able to shut down a nuclear reactor so simply, and without causing major issues such as radiation releases and meltdowns, is pushing things.

• On a related note to the above, unless Sarah Jane called in support from UNIT it's doubtful she and the kids would have been able to simply sneak out of a nuclear power plant undoubtedly entering crisis mode after an unplanned shutdown.

• Sarah Jane refers to Sky as being a teenager after her growth spurt, even though not a moment before Mr. Smith indicates that Sky is only the equivalent of a 12 year-old.
