*Jenny does not seem to bleed at all and when she dies and she should as the pressure her hand is putting on the wound would be lifted because of her body going limp when she actually goes. ''Very low blood pressure can account for no obvious bleeding out in this situation.'' | *Jenny does not seem to bleed at all and when she dies and she should as the pressure her hand is putting on the wound would be lifted because of her body going limp when she actually goes.

*The Doctor says he visited the Medusa Cascade when he was a small child of 90 and assuming the machines make the clones around 20 years old then shouldn't Jenny be a much smaller child. ''When he said that during "The Stolen Earth" it wasn't meant that he wasn't literally a child only kid in relation to his current age Time Lords seem to go through childhood in a similar way to humans as seen in [[Sound of Drums]] or any episode with [[Susan Foreman]], the Doctor's Granddaughter.'' | *The Doctor says he visited the Medusa Cascade when he was a small child of 90 and assuming the machines make the clones around 20 years old then shouldn't Jenny be a much smaller child.

*When the Doctor runs to the door in the beginning, it is clearly shown that he goes out only with his blue suit. Yet in the next shot when the trio are outside, he has his coat on. ''The shot only shows the Doctor heading towards the door, and he has kept his coat near the door.'' | *When the Doctor runs to the door in the beginning, it is clearly shown that he goes out only with his blue suit.

*It appears that Jenny regenerates as a substance similar to the vortex energy or the terraforming gas escapes from her mouth. However her body does not change. ''She did not actually regenerate. The Doctor regrew his hand in ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]'', as a Time Lord has great capacity for self-repair shortly after a full regeneration. It is more likely Jenny internally healed herself as she was probably within the first fifteen hours of her life.'' | *It appears that Jenny regenerates as a substance similar to the vortex energy or the terraforming gas escapes from her mouth.

*Immediately after Jenny was 'progenated', the soldiers ignore the Doctor, Martha and Donna - and don't bother cloning them. It's as if they know automatically that the Doctor is the only one who should be cloned. It would make more sense if the Doctor was cloned and as Jenny stepped out, the band of attacking Hath attacked immediately. ''They were preparing for an attack just before the Hath attacked, suggesting that they knew an attack was coming and had no time to process Donna or Martha. Moreover Cline appeared to prompt Jenny to see if she knew what she was doing just before the attack. All these factors probably distracted them from the processing of Donna and Martha.'' | *Immediately after Jenny was 'progenated', the soldiers ignore the Doctor, Martha and Donna - and don't bother cloning them.

*The Doctor has previously said that he can feel in his mind whether other Time Lords exist still, so why doesn't he feel Jenny still being alive? She is a Time Lord, and is very closely related to the Doctor. ''He also refers to her at one point as "an echo" - if he still feels her presence he may simply dismiss it as an echo.'' | *The Doctor has previously said that he can feel in his mind whether other Time Lords exist still, so why doesn't he feel Jenny still being alive?

*The Doctor refers to the method of Jenny's creation as "not what (he calls) natural parentage". This is somewhat ironic, given that he was created [[loom|in much the same way]]. ''By showing a young Master with the appearance of a child in ''[[The Sound of Drums]]'', the current production team may have shown that they do not consider the Looms to exist in official continuity, at least not exactly as described in novels such as [[NA]]: ''[[Lungbarrow]]. | *The Doctor refers to the method of Jenny's creation as "not what (he calls) natural parentage".

''He only killed when absolutely necessary, even going as far to spare his enemies death in [[Family of Blood]].
