Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/The Brain of Morbius


 * Morbius' globe head falls apart when he tumbles over the cliff edge, and the camera bounces.
 * He's just been through a fight and is falling off a cliff. He's entitled to a structural defect after that. The camera bounce can simply be indicative of the dramatic nature of his falling.


 * Why doesn't Solon just put the brain into the Doctor's head?
 * Because Solon wanted to give Morbius various other biological advantages in his new body.
 * However, a simple transplant would have likely given Morbius the ability to regenerate again, so Solon's decision is still suspect.
 * Solon does not know how many bodies the Doctor has left and he probably does not want to risk the possibility that he is on his last.
 * Furthermore, Solon is a deranged egotist with a perverse artistic streak, who expresses great pleasure at the notion of "creating" Morbius anew. Building a new, albeit hideous, body, would be a far more effective way for him to demonstrate his full range of surgical expertise and (twisted) creativity.


 * The Sisterhood member Morbius kills does not seem to notice him until he attacks her, in spite of the grunting and growling he makes as he approaches her.
