Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/The Rebel Flesh

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 Rebel Flesh 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 Gangers have trouble holding their shapes, so their bodies become more like the flesh, but there clothes are made of the same materials, and yet they stay the same?

The Gangers may have trouble holding their human forms, but maintaining the appearance of their clothing could be easier.

• After the solar tsunami everyone is in shock and Jennifer tells Rory that she almost couldn't get out of her harness, but later on she goes to the wash room with Rory and is seen as a ganger (changing from half to full form). From what I found out the people in the harnesses are human and the ones not are flesh. So how come the Jennifer in the harness was also a ganger?

She wasn't lying - because of the memory 'transplants', the gangers genuinely believed they were the original humans. She believed she was in the harness at the time of the accident.

• How exactly are the clothes duplicated by the formula?

The clothes are duplicated by the same method that the bodies are, which isn't really any less plausible. Clothes are just some fibres and polymers, after all.

The Flesh is fully programmable matter, clothes are matter.
