* When Lois Habiba wears the contact lens, she puts them both in the same eye (her left eye).'' It is possible that it was the same lens, it may have fallen out of her eye. And it's unclear which shots are of the bathroom mirror.

* The green goo sprayed on the front of the tank disappears and reappears in different shapes several times between shots.

* 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.

* 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'') | |||

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.'') | ||

When Martha wore the contact lenses, Torchwood was able to hear everything that Martha heard. (''Maybe Gwen and Rhys borrowed an early prototype that didn't pick up sound yet At the time that Martha wore them, they had access to all of Torchwood's technology. This undoubtedly includes other surveillance equipment for them to have used in conjunction with the lenses.)'' | ||
