Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/The Big Bang

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
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 Big Bang 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.
  • When Rose made contact with her past self in Father's Day the Reapers appeared, why didn't they appear when Amy made contact with her past self? --TehDash 19:25, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
The two versions of Amy were now different people - the present Amy wouldn't have remembered going to the museum and seeing the Pandorica.
Also, since the TARDIS is destroyed, this could also mean that time and space is destroyed. Since the Repears exist outside time and space, they may have perished along side everything else.
Everything occurs in a parallel universe, meaning the Repears don't need to intervene.
  • The Doctor is exterminated by the Stone Dalek, but he doesn't regenerate.
It's firepower may not have been strong enough to kill him, just weaken him. Plus, it's possible that he halted the regeneration process long enough for him to get into the Pandorica, possibly meaning that you can't regenerate inside it.
To quote River Song: "The Doctor always lies." The Doctor didn't die, therefore he shouldn't regenerate
Indeed - when the future Doctor says something to the present doctor, he then collapses - then the present Doctor just pretends that the future one is dead (go back and look at his reaction)
  • What caused the cracks?
It would probably be the TARDIS, possibly the cracks came from damaged time that gained from the TARDIS' repeating explosion, with itself repeating for many thousands of years, it may well have the cause of the cracks.
The Tardis exploding - have you not been watching?
I would think the cracks came from the eye of harmony being released and tearing apart the universe.
  • How is Rory alive again? Considering the timeline was restored and rory was killed before he was erased.
  • Since when has a Dalek cared for its own safety, like the Dalek in this episode?
  • How does believing in someone make them exist if they were meant to be erased.
Because if you can remember something then it clearly existed or else you wouldn't be able to remember it.
  • How does a Tardis exploding cause this, the tardis broke up in the mind robber and the daleks were going to blow it up in journey's end. alright something could have been done differntly here but still, no explanation is given.
In neither of those instances (I believe) was the tardis in flight. In this one it was. Please correct if i'm wrong but i would think that has something to do with it.
