This page is for discussing the ways in which Sleep No More 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.
- At the end of the episode it is revealed that the plan all along was to transmit the video, making morpheous infect everyone who watched, and this is apparently sucessful. Wouldn't this dramatically effect human civilization, potentially causing it's extinction?
- * Unfortunately this story suffers from over-complications galore. It was hard to follow despite some tantalisingly wonderful moments. The premise that human eye dust is mutating into a monster that consumes its host is, quite frankly, silly and how the Doctor can infer that this is going on is bizarre. Especially as the Doctor himself says at the end that none of it makes any sense. Let's put it down to a bold experiment that had great potential but in the end failed.
- * * I think it's more that we don't know what REALLY happened because as Rassmussen said in the beginning he was editing and it wasn't all in order, and some stuff had been left out. We don't know how much actually happened or if there was some more of an explanation that we never heard because Rassmussen wanted to keep the truth hidden.
- How was the Sandman that hadn't slept for five years created?
- Did the threat of the dust in Clara's eye get dealt with?
- The Doctor makes the discovery that Clara has a camera angle, but earlier the Doctor says that the Sandmen can't see!
- * This was explained in the episode. Rasmussen took control of their sense of sight to make his recording, so they couldn't access it.
- Still leaves the question of how the Sandman couldn't kill the Doctor, Clara or the crew member when they were trapped. The Sandman would have seen what Clara saw, and still be able to hit a target.
