Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/The Creature from the Pit

You are exploring the Discontinuity Index, a place where any details or rumours about unreleased stories are forbidden.
Please discuss only those whole stories which have already been released, and obey our spoiler policy.

This page is for discussing the ways in which The Creature from the Pit doesn't fit well with other DWU narratives. You can also talk about the plot holes that render its own, internal narrative confusing.

Remember, this is a forum, so civil discussion is encouraged. However, please do not sign your posts. Also, keep all posts about the same continuity error under the same bullet point. You can add a new point by typing:

* This is point one.
::This is a counter-argument to point one.
:::This is a counter-argument to the counter-argument above
* This is point two.
::Explanation of point two.
::Further discussion and query of point two.

... and so on.

• Nobody's lips move when they are connected to Erato's vocalizer sheild. Using someone else to speak for you would require that you could control their mouth and lips as well as their larynx in order to form intelligible words and speech.

The device is more complicated than simply controlling the relevant body parts. It may well take the vocalizations from the larynx and "clean them up".
