*When Harriet Jones transfers control of the sub-wave network to Torchwood, the map circles an area in Swansea, not Cardiff. | *When Harriet Jones transfers control of the sub-wave network to Torchwood, the map circles an area in Swansea, not Cardiff. | ||
*When Jones' sub-wave system seeks out those who have worked with the Doctor, only the companions of the Tenth Doctor are singled out, not other past companions and/or acquaintances who might have worked with previous incarnations. ''The subwave network only seeks out those that have the capacity to contact the Doctor; perhaps other companions such as [[Tegan Jovanka]] or [[Ian Chesterton]] do not have this ability or the possession of a [[superphone]] for example, or recent contact with the current incarnation. That, or they may simply have no access to a webcam as was the case with Rose. And remember, Ian will be in his late 80s or dead, he can hardly help. Tegan could have been killed by the Daleks, although this does require some suspension of disbelief.'' | *When Jones' sub-wave system seeks out those who have worked with the Doctor, only the companions of the Tenth Doctor are singled out, not other past companions and/or acquaintances who might have worked with previous incarnations.

*Similarly, why does the Doctor refer to those appearing on the screen as "everyone except Rose"? What about Ian, [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]] and [[Grace Holloway|Grace]], for example? ''He was probably only referring to his most recent companions. See the previous entry. Also, all the companions present were able to help, Sarah Jane had Mr Smith, Martha had UNIT and Project Indigo (and the Osterhagen key), Jack had the Rift and Torchwood, and Harriet had full control of the subwave network. Of course, Grace could have been killed by the Daleks too.'' | *Similarly, why does the Doctor refer to those appearing on the screen as "everyone except Rose"?
