*How exactly does Nathan phone the Doctor? the Doctor has only given free roaming to Barclay's phone. ''In [[Journey's End]] all the phones in England call the Doctor with only a few of them having free roaming capabilities. Obviously, if the Doctor enhances a phone, it can be contacted anywhere in the universe from any phone. A similar situation occurred in [[DW]]: ''[[The Sontaran Strategem]]'', when Martha calls her old mobile phone on the TARDIS from a different phone on Earth.'' | *How exactly does Nathan phone the Doctor? the Doctor has only given free roaming to Barclay's phone.

*Why wasn't the [[Tritovore]]'s language translated into english by the [[TARDIS]]? ''It is common belief among fans that the ''[[TARDIS]] can only translate an alien language if it is close (in distance) to the alien whose language needs to be translated. In this episode, the [[TARDIS]] was back on [[Earth]], whereas the Tritovore were in entire different galaxy on the planet of [[San Helios]]''. It was, the scene was from Christina's point-of-view, who had not travelled in the TARDIS. No, it wasn't. The Tritovores used their own translator to understand The Doctor, which would not have been required had the TARDIS been translating.'' | *Why wasn't the [[Tritovore]]'s language translated into english by the [[TARDIS]]?

''The ''[[TARDIS]]'' "gets in your head" and translates languages that you hear directly in your brain. This effect starts when you become a traveler in the ''[[TARDIS]].'' The Doctor could therefore gain the benefit, where no one else in the scene could.'' | ||
*Why did the [[Tritovore]]s have ear pieces? They clearly don't have ears. ''Not that we know of. Plus they may have used them through some other part of their body. Plus we don't know if the Tritovores had members aboard their ships who were humanoid in form and had ears.'' | *Why did the [[Tritovore]]s have ear pieces? They clearly don't have ears.
