*What happened to the Macra? Where did they go after the events of Gridlock? | *What happened to the Macra? Where did they go after the events of Gridlock? | ||
:When the motorway opened up, the gas keeping the macra alive would have spread away. | |||

* In New Earth, the Doctor said that New Earth is in the galaxy M87, which is a real galaxy in the Virgo cluster. It is half a million light years across and 60 million light years away. Yet here the Doctor says that New Earth is 50,000 light years from Earth. In 5 billion years the Milky Way and M87 ought to be millions of light years further apart, not closer together. | |||
[Perhaps the people of the year 5 billion have the ability to move solar systems and galaxies around.] | |||
* If the there is self-replicating fuel, then how can the three passengers to go in the fast lane rule be meant to save fuel? And how does the self-replicating fuel work anyway? Surely the second law of Thermodynamics would mean that you need some external input to keep your fuel supply going for that long. Especially if all the cars are generating exhaust fumes (and hence losing some of their fuel as part of the process of using it). The same goes for recycling all the waste products into new food. Some of the food will get used up as energy, even if you lie comatose when not eating it. | |||
*If it takes 6 years to go 10 miles, why don't people just walk? | |||
[Everything is sealed off, so the motorway is the only way to get anywhere.] | |||
* What did the carjackers mean when they talked about being "too poor" to have a third passenger? | |||
* When the car turns off all its systems, including the engines, how does it stay floating? | |||
[Perhaps they've invented a material that naturally repels gravity. Although that begs the question of how they get one of these cars to land.] | |||
*If the undercity was sealed off, then why is there both sunlight and rain in the section that the Doctor and Martha arrive in? | |||
[It's artificial]. | |||
* And how can a virus possibly infect an entire planet in just seven minutes? | |||
[Either they have a special virus-spreading teleportation system, or the planet is very sparsely populated, and the virus was teleported right into the heart of its population centres.] | |||
