Something has been bothering me for a long while. Fathers Day introduced the MASSIVE plot hole that the Dr could call the TARDIS using a small bit of power (cell battery) and the key. How many times has the Dr being seperated from the Tardis been a big plot point? It should be noted in this entry that this is a function of the key, and introduces a plot hole.

: Not really. The scene specifically refers to the wound in time created during that specific episode's paradox, leading to the exterior being thrown out of the wound. It's not as simple as "the TARDIS key calls the TARDIS to him from any location with the help of a mobile phone battery". -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 14:29, April 24, 2016 (UTC) | : Not really.

::It never specifies that this has to specifically do with the wounding. The Doctor just claimed that he could call the Tardis back, no conditional statements. That this is a plot hole is a safe assumption until told otherwise. It makes sense that the Time Lords would have some sort of Tardis recovery mechanism. Think about it, you are flying about space and time, your ONLY salvation is the Tardis. Without it you are utterly stranded, likely incapable of communicating with any life forms (due to the translation circuit being derived from the Tardis), and your ship can disguise itself rendering it difficult to find at times. Most people have trouble finding their car in a parking lot, imagine trying to find one in a parking lot the size of a planet (or even space), and it could be disguised as any other car, or a lamp, or a toilet, or a bus stop. It is a logical precaution. [[User:Kgk4569|Kgk4569]] [[User talk:Kgk4569|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:15, April 24, 2016 (UTC) | |||
