Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Planet of Fire

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 Planet of Fire 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:

... and so on. 

• The Doctor asks Amyand and Sorasta about Logar, despite having never heard the name before.

This is incorrect. Logar is mentioned, albeit briefly, in the section of the scene directly proceeding the Doctor asking about him.

• Peri can override the Master's control of Kamelion, but the Doctor can't.

The Master's mental powers have been greatly diminished as a result of his accident. It is also suggested that the numismaton residue shields Kamelion from the Doctor's brainwaves.

• Why is there a hollow turtle shell on the wall of the Master's miniaturised control room?
• Where did the Master get the miniaturised equipment for his control room.
• If the Master's gun is a Tissue Compression Eliminator, why does it compress Kamelion and the radiation suits?

This was the very advancement the Master was trying to achieve when he had his accident - i.e. a TCE that works on inanimate matter as well.

Peri seems to be able to out-run its blast in episode three.

The TCE was only ever meant as a short-range weapon.

• Why doesn't the TCE kill the Master, as it does his victims?

Because what happened was the result with him experimenting with the power of the TCE, not merely shooting himself with it.
