- So the one way to fix the metacrisis is to just let it go, and Donna gets to keep her memories. Why didn't she just do that in Journey's End all those years ago?
- How exactly does Donna's metacrisis work? You'd think Donna would only have the Doctor's mind up until the point when she originally gained it during the metacrisis (the mind of the Tenth Doctor and preceding incarnations), but she seems to know his future or at least that he was a woman, something that hadn't happened to the Doctor by the time she gained his mind. Does this mean that Donna gained new incarnations mind's as part of the metacrisis every once and awhile? Or that she gained new parts of his mind once the Doctor reawakened the metacrisis in her? Or something else entirely? Does this also imply that other metacrisis beings that happen to have the Doctor's mind (like the Metacrisis Tenth Doctor) also subconsciously gain memories of the happenings of the regular Doctor?
- How does Rose's age work? Apparently, she's 15. But it's only been 14 years since Donna stopped travelling with the Doctor (yes, I know they SAY 15 years in the episode, but it's actually only 14 because of the the whole 12 months later Aliens of London thing). If you then throw in the End of Time happening ANOTHER year later (and Donna not being visibly pregnant), meaning the EARLIEST Rose could be born in summer 2011, meaning Rose should be MAXIMUM 12, which she clearly isn't (I know Russell T has said he deliberately messed with the timelines a bit in order for him to cast Finney who was 18 at the time, but that's an out of universe explanation, not an in universe one)
- Why is the TARDIS damaged so much by COFFEE? And, if it was POSSIBLE for it to be damaged to that extent, WHY would it out a coffee machine on the console?
