::::Not really. Big Bang 2 completely reset the universe so it makes sense that some things were rewritten. Plus, it's all 'timey wimey' anyway; some points are fixed and others aren't. But, to answer each of your attempted counters: 1) Brooke is unknown, but we don't need to know. Afterall, the episode occurred in 2019, so it does not contradict what happened in the 2050s. 2) Davros is a genius, so naturally he has technology capable of viewing messages/footage across all of time and space in all various realities/timelines 3) Rory was different as he'd travelled in time and was a single individual rather than an entire event; the Doctor has previously established time travel affords one a special kind of protection. Plus, the Doctor reset the universe so he had some power over exerting how the universe banged back in to being. | ::::Not really.

*A dalek has no emotions except for hate and fear. How then can it laugh? | *A dalek has no emotions except for hate and fear. How then can it laugh? | ||
::It has been established previously that Daleks should not have a concept of Beauty or mercy but ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'' and ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'' revealed flaws in that. Plus, perhaps the Twelfth Doctor's encounter with Davros meant he imprinted more than just the aforementioned onto the man and his creations. | |||
* If technology of the 9th century can disable a Dalek why is the Doctor so anxious about it being in the 21st? | * If technology of the 9th century can disable a Dalek why is the Doctor so anxious about it being in the 21st? | ||
::The Daleks are still a threatening menace to defeat + it's implied it took the combined forces of three empires to defeat it (given were told at least three nations were involved in taking it down.) Further, the Doctor appears more concerned with the Dalek contacting off-world Daleks to launch an invasion more than the threat the sole Dalek can produce. | |||
* Unit? Budget cuts? Really? Isn't Unit supposed to subject to the UN anyway? | * Unit? Budget cuts? Really? Isn't Unit supposed to subject to the UN anyway? | ||
::This doesn't really contravene continuity. Where has it been established that UNIT is exempt from such financial constraints? | |||
