* When Gwen is demonstrating the lenses to Lois, several times she looks in different directions and moves her head, but the display on the laptop doesn't move. ''(It looks to line up quite well actually. It is possible there is some "lag" between the lenses and the computer display.)'' | * When Gwen is demonstrating the lenses to Lois, several times she looks in different directions and moves her head, but the display on the laptop doesn't move.

* It seems a bit suspicious that Ianto managed to buy another coat for Jack that was exactly the same in every way to his previous one. ''Ianto said that he got it in "army surplus special". Also, it's never been stated that the coat destroyed in the Hub was Jack's only coat. Given his tendency to get shot, burned, etc. he presumably has replaced the coat on occasion. There may well be a surplus shop with a dozen of them on the rack and Ianto knew just where to go.'' | * It seems a bit suspicious that Ianto managed to buy another coat for Jack that was exactly the same in every way to his previous one.

** Funny thing about it, though, is that it's always been implied that Jack's clothes have also been immune to destruction, like in [[Journey's End]] where he's put in an incinerator - and his clothes come out fresh as a daisy. | ** Funny thing about it, though, is that it's always been implied that Jack's clothes have also been immune to destruction, like in [[Journey's End]] where he's put in an incinerator - and his clothes come out fresh as a daisy.'' It doesn't ever say that he is incinerated, it is likely that when the Daleks put Jack in and closed the door, Jack found a ledge and safety to hold onto. Plus if he was completely incinerated it would take a very long time for him to come back from almost nothing, as it takes him a whole day to recover even with a whole arm and sholder still intact in Day Two of Children of Earth'' . | ||
* Gwen gives Lois the contact lenses immediately after removing them from her own eyes and expects her to wear them immediately (she doesn't). Isn't it unhygienic to share contacts in this way? ''If Torchwood can develop contact lenses with the abilities shown, perhaps they found a way to make them sterile. That, or the lens case contains a cleaning solution we do not see (as many do in real life). It is also possible that Lois sterilized the lenses off-screen''''(Yes, it is unhygienic to share contact lenses. However given the seriousness of the situation, that is unlikely to be considered of foremost importance.)''''(Even more unrealistic is the fact that Lois does not seem to experience any discomfort while wearing the lenses. Usually, if someone is not used to contacts, the eyes will treat them as foreign objects, e.g. start to tear almost immediately) ''You're forgetting they are not proper contacts, maybe they have a defence against this. | * Gwen gives Lois the contact lenses immediately after removing them from her own eyes and expects her to wear them immediately (she doesn't).

* Lois doesn't wear glasses, nor is she seen removing any contacts before rather easily putting the Torchwood ones in. Anyone who has ever had contacts for the first time knows it is very difficult -- and for some people, impossible -- to put them in without assistance the first time. ''Maybe Lois used to wear contacts and had a laser vision correction procedure? It is also possible she removed a pair of her own lenses first, off-screen, though the editing suggests this not to be the case. She could just as likely have not worn her lenses that day.'' | * Lois doesn't wear glasses, nor is she seen removing any contacts before rather easily putting the Torchwood ones in.
