Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Flesh and Stone

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 Flesh and Stone doesn't fit well with other DWU narratives. You can also talk about the plot holes that render its own, internal narrative confusing.

• The Doctor tells Amy that she can't open her eyes for more than one second, however when she does she keeps them open for around 5 seconds.

This may have either been prolonged for dramatic effect or the Doctor just said that so she wouldn't do that.

I was pretty sure you could see the background moving behind it.

The image of the angel was also missing from her eye - I interpreted this as the angel that was forming in her mind having fled (either destroying itself or submerging into her mind) from the crack. This implies that what happened next - keeping her eyes closed while crossing the forest - was meaningless.

That's how I interpreted it too...

• When they're in the forest, and The Doctor is going to the Main Flight Deck with River and Octavion, he goes over to Amy, cuffs her head and says "Amy, later!" But moments later, he returns, with his sleeves ROLLED UP (when did this happen?!) WEARING HIS JACKET. She doesn't remember what he told her when she was 7. He's visibly closer, and more afraid for her at this moment. He kisses her forehead. Next scene, he's not wearing his jacket, his sleeves are rolled down and he's far more aloof. This is way too obvious to be a production error. What's going on with this? Double Doctor Syndrome? Something to do with the cracks? Ideas? Musedae 01:37, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

This is just a production error. They must have forgotten that the Doctor lost his jacket.

• If the angels were wiped from history, then why Bob, Octavian, Christian and the other cleric still dead?
• When they start moving on camera, they move a lot slower than normal speed for an angel. I noticed other flaws, but I don't feel like mentioning them now.
