Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Smith and Jones


 * The Judoon clothes are seen to flutter while walking when the camera has a close up shot while they march out of their spaceships; there is no air on the moon, so how can their clothes flutter in the same manner back and forth as on Earth?
 * It may be their legs moving that makes their clothes flutter, not the air.


 * How can the Judoon march on the moon when it's one sixth earth gravity.
 * The Judoon aren't from Earth, they may have be from a planet that has very little gravity. Or their suits could be helping them.


 * When Martha is making her rounds with the other medical students she listens to both of the Doctors' hearts. As a medical student, she should know that she had her stethoscope in her ears backwards.


 * Apparently Martha is the first person since "Mr. Smith" was admitted to Royal Hope the day before to do so much as listen to his heart, or check his pulse, blood pressure or body temperature, or run a blood test, as any of those should have alerted medical personnel to his physical differences. And if so, what exactly is on the chart that Mr. Stoker chided her for not consulting?
 * Time Lords have been shown to have excellent control over their bodies, so it's not unfeasible he was able to pass at least some of his tests on that merit


 * The scene in the X-Ray room appears to break a number of laws of Physics. Firstly, where does the power come from to increase the radiation by 5000%? [Perhaps it's from the sonic screwdriver's power supply.] Secondly, the Doctor absorbing all the radiation and expelling it into his shoe without damaging the shoe or making it dangerously radioactive is rather implausible.
 * They may not be earth made and therefore able to withstand damage. The Doctor also stated he had absorbed them all and it was completly harmless now.


 * The scene in the X-Ray room also seems to contradict previous episodes, such as Planet of the Spiders, where The Doctor is seen to be vulnerable to massive doses of radiation.
 * It is only certain types of radiation. This type of radiation, presumably isn't harmful, just itchy, as the Doctor states that he "Played with Rontgen blocks in the nursery" and begins to hop on one foot.


 * The Plasmavore turning the MRI scanner into a weapon doesn't work very well. Firstly, a magnetic pulse might disrupt electronic devices, but it shouldn't kill a person. And a strength of 50,000 Tesla would have no noticeable effect at a distance of 250,000 miles. It certainly wouldn't kill half the Earth's population.
 * A large enough magnetic pulse could kill a human as most of the human body is controlled by electrical impulses and could result in an overload.


 * Why doesn't the blood loss cause the Doctor to die or regenerate?
 * The Doctor can choose not to regenerate, as the blood loss is not enough to be lethal. He does also have a binary vascular system, so his blood may have been taken from one heart but the other would have enough to keep alive in a comatose like state, or she may have taken some blood from each heart but the same effect would probably have happened.


 * When the Doctor realises that the Judoon have wiped the records from the computer, he runs his fingers through his hair. But in the next shot of him, when he finds Martha, his hair is perfect again.


 * After the hospital has been moved to the moon, Martha and Julia are looking out onto the surface. Martha's reflection can be seen in the window, but when she is talking, the reflection is perfectly still.


 * Presumably, The Doctor is still recovering from the loss of Rose... do we know how long it has been for the Doctor? Has he just left Donna and come straight here?
 * From the Doctor's perspective, this could be a short time after The Runaway Bride or much longer time after that. Its likely its taking the Doctor a very long time to recover from the loss of a friend who he loved.


 * when all of the oxygen goes, shouldn't the windows have shattered?
