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 Father's Day 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. 
  • If Rose can remember Jackie telling her about the blonde girl who was by her father's side when he died, that means it is impossible to change the past because the past changes would have already taken place which contradicts many Doctor Who episodes.
Rose's memory changed when the past changed. Previously she remembered Jackie telling her that no one was with Pete when he died.
  • When the Doctor is about to be eaten by the Reaper, Rose shouts "Doctor" then it cuts to a wide shot of The Doctor and the Reaper, notice that the shadowy TARDIS thing is gone.
The Doctor loses concentration when the Reaper was about to eat him, so the TARDIS must have been affected by this.
  • In the church scene the doctors sonic screwdriver goes off without making a noise.
Silent setting? it has been shown that the sonic screwdriver changes pitch depending on the setting. it is possible that this setting is at a range of sound that cannot be detected by human ears.
