Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Meglos


 * In part one, when talking about the time loop, the Doctor says that's that third time it has happened, yet it is actually the fourth - original -&gt; 1st repeated -&gt; 2nd repeated on viewing screen -&gt; 3rd repeated.
 * So he's actually right: "That's the third time that's happened." i.e. that's the third time events have repeated themselves.


 * Grugger says that he lost 50 per cent of his six man crew on Tigella, but there's more than three of them when they arrive on Zolpha Thura.
 * His limited numeracy does not extend to being able to calculate percentages properly.


 * In part one the Doctor says that he wasn't allowed to see the dodecahedron on his previous visit, but in episode three he remembers seeing it.
 * Since when has the Doctor let the rules get in the way of his curiosity? Just because he wasn't supposed to see it doesn't mean he didn't.


 * Why doesn't the Doctor recognise Lexa as being similar in appearance to Barbara Wright, especially given he later recognises Gwen Cooper as being similar in appearance to Gwyneth.
