Theory:Torchwood television discontinuity and plot holes/Rendition

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 Rendition 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. 

• Colorado state flag et al. While DC is ultimately under the control of Congress, it does have a limited municipal government (yes housed in the John A. Wilson Building). It may ave to be chalked up to lazy writing that the characters refer to it as "city hall". May, I've got little clue as to what term is commonly used in DC for the building in reference to governance, the mayor, or council. It would also be usefull to actually know how the building is decorated as it is not beyond reason that it may have representations, including flags, of the 50 states.

It's somewhat inaccurate, but not at all uncommon, to refer to the Wilson Building as "City Hall". Or, less inaccurately, some people refer to the "function" as City Hall. For example, in 2001, Mayor Anthony Williams talked a lot about moving City Hall back to the Wilson Building (when the government was temporarily convening at One Judiciary Square during remodeling). I haven't seen it since before the remodel, but in the late 90s, when DC government only took up about a third of the building, and various federal subagencies took up most of the rest, the lobby had a large Seal of the District in front of the flags of the 50 states.
