Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Under the Lake

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 Under the Lake 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. 

• What did the crew do in the missing three days? Just run around like headless chickens getting supplies and finding somewhere to hide whilst dodging cutlery throwing ghosts? Not bother to contact the Main base?

• It presumably took them some time to realize that they were safe where they were, and that the ghosts didn't come out during the day. That, along with gathering supplies, investigating what was going on, occasional sleep, etc, probably accounts for the time.

• I'm a little confused! The base is now underwater. I assume that the "city" was somehow flooded, and because it was flooded, there was no use for the "city" and everyone was evacuated. So why does the base have a computerized day and night setting?

The Base was probably build after the flooding.

A Day/Night system could easily be implemented.
