Theory:Torchwood television discontinuity and plot holes/Small Worlds


 * Captain Jack claims he does not sleep (TV: Ghost Machine) but at the beginning of this episode he does.
 * He could have simple being closing his eyes, or attempting to get some sleep. It could also be possible that Jack was simply exaggerating or simply lying. He may have just meant he doesn't need sleep and not that it is biologically impossible for him to sleep at all.


 * Fairies kill people who cause harm to chosen ones, then why did they kill Estelle who wouldn't hurt a fly?
 * They don't just kill those who harm the Chosen Ones. They're not kind faeries, as Jack stated. They kill anyone who gets too close, it is also possible that they were worried if people knew about them, they would develop a way to stop them.


 * If several people were chocking at once wouldn't there be choking noises


 * Why didn't they kill Jack? Assuming this was before Rose made him immortal.
 * Jack hadn't done anything. Or, if this was after Rose made him immortal, and the faeries wanted him dead anyway for whatever reason, they may have known he was immortal and decided that killing him would be a lost cause.
