*If Gwen doesn't want Jack to leave Earth why does she give him his Vortex Manipulator? ''(He asked her for it. Even if she knew that he was going to use it to leave, it would have been childish to keep it from him and try to force him to stay against his will. She realises this is what Jack needs.)'' | *If Gwen doesn't want Jack to leave Earth why does she give him his Vortex Manipulator? ''(He asked her for it.

*Why, so soon after Journey's End, did Jack forget about [[Mr. Smith]]? Mr. Smith was capable of ringing every mobile in the world; surely he'd be able to broadcast the signal Jack needed? ''(The children are directly connected to the 456, necessitating to the best of Jack's knowledge that the signal be sent through them. Plus he has no way to contact Sarah Jane)'' | *Why, so soon after Journey's End, did Jack forget about [[Mr. Smith]]?

*The premise of children producing chemicals (not some other form of matter or energy) that give the 456 a "hit" requires suspension of disbelief. While not an immediate solution to the crisis, it would be simple enough to synthesize a drug that would have the same effect. At the very least, it should be possible to "harvest" the necessary "chemicals" from children on Earth without having to surrender them to the aliens or kill them outright. Given the level of technology available in the Doctor Who/Torchwood universe, (clones, terraforming, etc.) there would be several alternatives available, none of which are mentioned in the story. | *The premise of children producing chemicals (not some other form of matter or energy) that give the 456 a "hit" requires suspension of disbelief.

''(We never actually see any 456 technology in the story- especially not anything to suggest that they have cloning or terraforming techniques. Perhaps they aren't as technologically advanced as most spacefaring races.)'' | ||
