*How did Martha know to walk round the Earth for a year based the Doctor telling her "use the countdown"? ''Not every word the Doctor said to Martha is revealed; the Doctor could have told Martha at least 10-15 seconds of information. It's also been established that the Doctor can impart (and remove) information through psychic means, so he may have given her far more information than was actually spoken.'' | *How did Martha know to walk round the Earth for a year based the Doctor telling her "use the countdown"?

* How did the master know about | * How did the master know about Rose absorbing the time vortex? ''The Doctor told Jack about Rose absorbing the time vortex near the end of Utopia, when Jack was in the radiation room, and the Master heard them over the intercom.'' | ||

*How did Martha and the Doctor know when the countdown would take place? ''The Doctor would have known about the countdown and either told Martha before she teleported down to Earth or transmitted the thoughts through what was left of the TARDIS psychic network. Also, it could have been an undisclosed known notion, learnt by Martha as she was peregrinating throughout the world.'' | *How did Martha and the Doctor know when the countdown would take place?

*What happened to all the people who were on the Valiant when the President was assassinated but not present when the Paradox Machine was destroyed? To go one step further, what about the Toclafane vanguard who assassinated president Winters? Does that mean they are still on the loose? As the Valiant was rewound to where it was before, anyone on the Valiant at the time of assassination but not at the destruction of the paradox machine would have been killed (or rather stop existing). One step further, however, anyone NOT on the Valiant at the assassination but on it during the paradox machine's destruction should have been duplicated. How can all this be addressed? ''It could be that, as it is said in this episode, that the Valiant and the people on it were at the eye of the storm, so some aspects of "The Year That Never Was" were not removed.'' | *What happened to all the people who were on the Valiant when the President was assassinated but not present when the Paradox Machine was destroyed?

*It has been established that the First Doctor was his first incarnation and would have been over 800 years old, and he only appeared to be an old man, so why is that when aged by as little as a hundred, the Tenth Doctor becomes as aged as he is shown? ''Perhaps this is an effect of artificial aging. See ''[[The Leisure Hive]]''. | *It has been established that the First Doctor was his first incarnation and would have been over 800 years old, and he only appeared to be an old man, so why is that when aged by as little as a hundred, the Tenth Doctor becomes as aged as he is shown?

*The Doctor says that time has reversed to "just before the spheres arrived but just after the president was killed" so what killed the president? ''The Doctor meant that it was before the scene shown where the sky splits open and all of the Toclafane pour out. Not the scene where he Toclafane first appear and kill President Winters.'' | *The Doctor says that time has reversed to "just before the spheres arrived but just after the president was killed" so what killed the president?
