Theory:SJA television discontinuity and plot holes/The Empty Planet
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
If you'd like to talk about narrative problems with this story — like plot holes and things that seem to contradict other stories — please go to this episode's discontinuity discussion.
- Rani acts as though Gavin is so much younger than she is. He can't be that much younger than her?
- Rani and Clyde are around 17. Gavin seems to be around 15. It would be perfectly normal for her to act like that.
- I think Gavin mentions he's 13 in part two.
- Clyde can't leave Earth because he was grounded by the Judoon. However in Death of the Doctor, Clyde did infact leave Earth.
- The robots left him there legally. The Doctor does not adhere to legal rules, especially when it affects the course of history itself.
- Their is nothing physically preventing him - it's like an ASBO. The law says you can't go somewhere - just means that you'll be punished if you do - not that you are unable to do it. In this story - the Robots just chose to leave him on Earth because of the order, to avoid getting into trouble. The Doctor on the other hand, ignored it.
