*Why does paper start billowing around the room when the void opens? I doubt paper had gone through the void before.

::It only billows when the Daleks fly past through the open window; it's because of drafts.


*When Rose was about to be sucked into the void when Pete rescued her. Wouldn't he have been sucked in?

::It may take time before the void stuff begins to get sucked into the void. Before flying into the void at high speed, the Cybermen hovered for a second, seemingly only being pulled in very slowly to begin with.

::The same happened to the Genesis Ark.


::Even so, Rose had only travelled about as many times as Pete. Why was she sucked forcefully?

*Shouldn't the TARDIS and the Daleks' Void ship have been sucked into the Void as well? The TARDIS should have had Void stuff from when it travelled to Pete's World.

::The Doctor probably put it in 'park'. That, and the TARDIS was several hundred floors down inside Torchwood Tower itself.
::The Doctor probably put it in 'park'. That, and the TARDIS was several hundred floors down inside Torchwood Tower itself. That the Void Ship didn't smash through the floor to get to the breach suggests the TARDIS could also have been contained by the building.
:::But the void pulled in Cybermen from across the globe, considerably more distance than from the base of Torchwood Tower.

::::The [[TARDIS]] was mostly dead when it landed in [[Pete's World]]. Perhaps the void stuff can't “stick” to inert objects.

::The Cult of Skaro are said to have far superior capabilities to normal Daleks. Perhaps the weapons and shielding of the Genesis Ark Daleks is inferior to the Cult, meaning that the Cybermen could hold their own against them.

::It's also possible that while on ground level the Cult saw the need to exterminate the Cybermen fast, but once airborne the Daleks didn't have this issue. Since they boast a lot, it's possible the Daleks have so much contempt for Cybermen abilities over even that of humans they simply chose not to target them as much as they could have, effectively mocking them.

::There's no evidence to support that the Cult of Skaro had abilities superior to standard Daleks aside from their added imagination capabilities.

*Why does Torchwood tower even exist in Pete's World? The only reason it was built in the Doctor's universe was to reach the breach created when the Sphere came through. Even if it was built for another reason. why are the levers still in place on the top floor? They would have had no function.

::Canary Wharf exists for a real-world reason beyond Torchwood's secret control of the site. Pete's World could easily have followed this continuum.
