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 Fitz's Story 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. 
  • The Doctor mentions that he and Sam spent time on Entuso previously. However, as Anji is traveling with them, Ancestor Cell(and Eight's subsequent amnesia) has already occurred, and thus the Doctor should not remember Sam.
Maybe he meant Samson Griffin.
I point back to Eight's current amnesia: he really shouldn't remember any of that. Even if he meant Samson(which he most certainly did not), depending on where the audios take place relative to the novels, the Doctor should have no memory of them regardless.
He has been able to recall certain things in the novels post-Ancestor Cell, but it's always been a jumble of memories that he's remembering as one. It's never been as precise as his memory about Sam in this one.
Either he's found and reread a recent entry in one of his hundred-year diaries, or he was reading off the TARDIS databank entry for the planet of Entuso, which should give hime the same basic rundown he gives Fitz, albeit presumeably with a more formal eloquence.
The Doctor's memory of pre-The Ancestor Cell events did not all come back to him at once, but rather bit-by-bit. For example he recognises the Master in The Adventuress of Henrietta Street(set before Fitz's story). It's entirely possible that this memory of this one adventure with Sam had come back to him, while most of his memory remained lost.
