Theory:Doctor Who prose discontinuity and plot holes/The Eight Doctors

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 The Eight Doctors 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. 

• When the Eighth Doctor travels to his Fifth incarnation's timestream Tegan asks if he was the Doctor caught in the Time Vortex(in The Five Doctors). However, Tegan actually met the Fourth Doctor first, and was there to watch him regenerate into the Fifth Doctor(in Logopolis).

Tegan is surprised at the Eighth Doctor's appearance and so is talking before thinking.

Alternatively, since she's in the middle of one of the messiest Doctor Who stories ever written, she could have been so discombobulated by the execrable nonsense around her that she had no idea who was who anymore.
