Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Death in Heaven

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 Death in Heaven 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. 

• Clara mentions that the Doctor was married four times However, the Doctor has been married at least six times. Although, only four in the show.

There are only four wives mentioned in canon: River; Elizabeth I; Scarlette, who was in an 8th doctor book; and Marilyn Monroe. Even if there are more wives, it is entirely possible that Clara hasn't been told of about all of them.

This wiki does not consider canon; only four have ever been mentioned anywhere, though there is wiggle room as the Doctor states he doesn't consider Marilyn's marriage to be legal. Also, keep in mind that the existence of a granddaughter does not mean a marriage has to have been in place.

• Clara mentions that all of the Doctor's wives are deceased. However, it is almost impossible that the Doctor's first wife is deceased considering she is a Time Lady.

Who's the Time Lady wife? The closest to a Time Lady who the Doctor has married is River, who was just human a few Time Lady abilities.

It's possible that the First Doctor married a Time Lady wife who then gave birth to Susan's parent.

Time Lords can die. And there is nothing in any media to indicate that the Doctor's first wife was a Time Lady. In fact the first reference to a marriage in licensed media was Scarlette from an Eighth Doctor novel, a human.

• Considering the similarities (dead being revived) it's surprising no one makes reference to Miracle Day.
• All dead people are uploaded to the Matrix(a discontinuity itself?), and their conscience is then deleted so they become Cybermen. Danny mentions that he killed the boy years ago, yet the boy's conscience is still roaming around the Nethersphere. Why hasn't he been converted into a Cybermen in all that time?
