TARDIS "popping"
Article currently notes:
 * The TARDIS pops in and out rather than fading in and out. (It has been suggested this is because it was under the Time Lord's control)

Don't think that one's gonna fly. The Master's TARDIS does exactly the same thing. The reason is probably a deliberate attempt to change things up, since, at this point, it had been a few years since TARDIS demats were a regular part of the show. I'll look into it further, but that assertion's coming out.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  06:39, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm very sure that this was mentioned in a novel somewhere (the whole just popping in and out thing), though I'm drawing a blank as to when it's actually mentioned. --Tangerineduel 13:45, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * But it doesn't explain why the Master's TARDIS does the exact same thing. If it is in a novel, then it should be listed on that novel's page as a discontinuity note.  Unless there's a real good reason to suspect that the Master's TARDIS was under the control of the Time Lords as well.  But then THAT would itself be a spot of discontinuity, because if the the Time Lords are in control of the Master's TARDIS, why'd they need to send the Doctor on this mission?

Gorman note
Article also noted the following as an "error"/discontinuity:
 * Pat Gorman plays half the characters

In the first place, I seriously doubt it's true. And even if it is, so what? How's that an error, given that Gorman's principally a creatures actor? Who's gonna know the difference?  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  08:25, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
