Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Nightmare of Eden

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 Nightmare of Eden 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. 

• In episode two, K-9 cuts a hole in the wall, and it is glowing red-hot. Yet a few seconds later, when the Fourth Doctor and Rigg lift it away, it's cool.

This is a futuristic space age material that absorbs energy faster than modern alloys.

• Dymond consistently calls his ship 'he-kayt', whereas everyone else refers to it as the 'he-ka-tay'.

It's his ship, he can pronounce its name any way he wants.

Also, variations in pronunciation of lots of names are really very common.
