Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Turn Left: Difference between revisions

*If Donna never appears inside the TARDIS in The Runaway Bride, what draws The Doctor's attention to The Racnoss? ''Russell T Davies states in the Confidential episode that another temp presumably got dosed. ''

*If the Doctor met another temp, why did he die? Would not the other temp have fulfilled Donna's role and saved the Doctor's life? ''Not necessarily.'' ''Donna is a very confident person, if the other temp was more submissive or shy, she may have accepted the Doctor's way of dealing with a problem she didn't understand, or may not have even have been with him at the moment he needed "stopping".''

*Donna lives in Chiswick in West London. Presumably, the job with Jival Choudhury is also in Chiswick, as Sylvia says at the beginning of the episode that "it'll only take a minute" to turn right and see him. The Thames Barrier is on the other side of town 13 miles away in the Docklands area of East London. When Donna sees the web she follows it on foot, so how does she get from Chiswick to the Thames Barrier? ''No indication is given where she started from (i.e., what pub they were at), nor where she ended up (i.e., where UNIT recovered the Doctor's body).''

*If Mr Saxon never existed in this timeline, how was the Racnoss ship shot down? ''Presumabley someone else gave the order.''

*In Voyage of the Damned, it's stated that everyone except the Queen and Wilf have left London, so why is everybody dead when the Titanic hits the earth? ''Possibly because they've not gone far away enough to avoid the blast/radiation etc. Roughly how many nuclear bombs would an exploding nuclear storm be worth?, Also, everyone leaving could have been influenced by the Master confirming aliens, which wouldn't have happened in this timeline, as Yana wouldn't have been reminded.''

*[[The Doctor]] died in [[Donna's World]], but he survived in the real world, so shouldn't he still be able to stop the reality bomb with the real [[Donna Noble|Donna]]? ''The parallel world was created "around" the real Donna---and there may also have been a parallel reality bomb. If the trickster stops catastrophies that affect his plans wouldn't he stop the bomb''

*The stars were going out in the alternate reality, but would the Doctor be dead so he wouldn't have been able to stop the Final Experiment so it would have gone through and Dalek Caan wouldn't have gone and rescued [[Davros]]. ''It was said in the main reality that the blast would spread to all realities. But the bomb was stopped in the main reality''

*The sound and shaking of the Royal Hope disappearing is heard before it actually vanished, whereas in Smith and Jones the sound was heard during the incident. ''Different perception of the same incident.''

 

*The Doctor revealed that the Nuclear Storm drive would wipe out '''all''' life on Earth. This is incorrect as it only destroys London. ''Someone on board the ship could have prevented it having such a bad effect - perhaps Astrid or Frame. It's also possible that the Doctor exaggerated or was mistaken. Or, in [[SJA]]: [[Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?]] it's established that the Trickster intervened during this time period to prevent world-ending catastrophes caused by his meddling; perhaps he did so in this case as well. Then wouldn't the trickster make sure the bomb didn't happen as it would obviously compromise his plans''
