*It takes much longer for Jack to revive, he would normally revive after 5 or 10 minutes but after the 456 killed him there was enough time to move him and cover him up, which must have taken at least an hour with all of the other bodies. ''Jack's time to come back varies, usually with how long it takes him to die. For example at the end of series 1 he stood beneath Abaddon for a while before dying. In this instance he was breathing the virus-laden air for a protracted period and therefore it took him longer to come back. It is also possible that he could not revive until all or most of the virus in his system had been purged.'' | *It takes much longer for Jack to revive, he would normally revive after 5 or 10 minutes but after the 456 killed him there was enough time to move him and cover him up, which must have taken at least an hour with all of the other bodies.

*Jack's death by airborne virus (and, in fact, his explosive end in Part One) raises questions about the nature of his immortality. Specifically, if his body can still come to harm, why didn't his body show any signs of dissolving while he was exposed to Stet Radiation in "[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]"? ''Maybe because you die from radiation before you dissolve from it so Jack's body healed before it gets that far as apposed to being blown up were you die after or at the same time as the explosion.'' | *Jack's death by airborne virus (and, in fact, his explosive end in Part One) raises questions about the nature of his immortality.

''She may have believed that the Doctor was already present, or possibly have not taken her superphone with her. (It should be noted that Martha has only called the Doctor twice, despite other major public incidents [[The Lost Boy|like the moon heading for Earth]] - this is not a plot hole unique to Children of Earth.)'' | ||
*325,000 is way below 10% of the UK's children. The UK has around 10 million children aged under 15, so the figure should have been around 1 million ''Perhaps by children they mean people who have yet to go through puberty. Remember that it was speculated that Clem was not taken because he might have been on the cusp of puberty.'' | *325,000 is way below 10% of the UK's children.
