Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Into the Dalek


 * The Doctor comes onto the Aristotle. First they consider killing him. Then, even when they decide he might be useful as a doctor, they still keep him under armed guard "in case he's a spy". But somehow they let him pop off in the Tardis for a few minutes to pick up Clara?!
 * The Doctor has dealt with soldiery types before with UNIT and all that so he must have found some way to get them to back off - smart-mouth retorts and mind games, and stuff like that that just generally confuses other people. And it wouldn't be the first time he's slipped away without anyone noticing, in this case allowing him to pop off and pick up Clara.


 * The Doctor says that there is no such thing as a good Dalek multiple times throughout the episode, has he forgot Oswin Dalek from Asylum?
 * Oswin wasn't born a Dalek but was turned into one so her inherent nature wouldn't be the same. Considering that the Daleks that captured and converted her were the insane inmates of the asylum, they may have carried out the conversion process incorrectly and failing to purge Oswin's humanity even if they changed her biology.


 * How did the resistance group get Rusty? According to Morgan, they take no prisoners. Also, what did the resistance group hope to gain by going inside? And why didn't they have any doctors onboard, even if "Daleks don't leave any wounded"? What if somebody slips and breaks their arm or something?
