Theory:SJA television discontinuity and plot holes/Secrets of the Stars

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.

• If Trueman took over all the channels, how did the news programmes get on the air?

This was after.

He/she means while the channels were taken over

Could he have only started taking over the UK channels before moving onto the channels of the other countries?

• What if people are not watching the television at the time?

The TV was just for relaying instructions, he could take them over across the world without it, as seen when Rani is taken over - she is not watching TV at the time.

• Trueman didn't mention two other star signs, Virgo and Aquarius.

He could have mentioned them when the camera is on something else. eg. He says a star sign then it shows Luke and Rani running up some stairs. When the camera is back on Trueman, the Aquarius symbol is lighting up.

• It seems strangly coincidental that the Ancient Lights were waiting for someone with the exact right birth chart and that person was pretending to read star signs.

He said that he always felt that he was somehow important, so he had some subconscious knowledge of the Ancient Lights before the beginning of the episode. It is possible that this subconsciously led him to pretend to read star charts.

• The news report said that the US President had been hypnotized before the Leos were controlled, but Obama's sign is Leo*
