*Since every other "disintegrator beam" was actually a secondary transmat system, when the Anne Droid shoots the 3 Daleks with it, wouldn't they just be sent back to the Dalek mothership like the Controller and Rose? ''The Doctor might have thought about this and changed the transmat beam into a disintegrator beam.'' ''Even if it sent them to the ship it would buy some time to finish the delta wave.'' | *Since every other "disintegrator beam" was actually a secondary transmat system, when the Anne Droid shoots the 3 Daleks with it, wouldn't they just be sent back to the Dalek mothership like the Controller and Rose?

*How does the Doctor know to turn his head when his hologram appears to Rose in the TARDIS? He can't have been transmitting live because he said that "he bets" Rose was fussing and moaning - as in he couldn't see her. It's unlikely that he would have gotten to know her so well he could turn his head at the right moment and stare at the right place. ''The program was probably tied in with the TARDIS' sentient systems. Also there are interactive computer programs in real life that can react in this way.'' Another case of this happening is in [[The Age of Steel]] when the Doctor being watched by Mickey points were the last digit in the sequense should go whilst saying the number. This sugests that at times the Doctor can predict in some way events that appear to be random. | *How does the Doctor know to turn his head when his hologram appears to Rose in the TARDIS?

*When the Daleks were trying to get to the Doctor using the lifts, why did they stop at every floor? Why not just go straight up to floor 500? ''Possibly so if the Doctor managed to escape floor 500, he would be caught in an ambush. The Daleks also wanted to be thorough and make sure all the humans were exterminated.'' | *When the Daleks were trying to get to the Doctor using the lifts, why did they stop at every floor?
