4 corrected entries in season 23

(3 votes)

Correction: It is implied that she is in control of the space station. More importantly, the Matrix is the key to Time Lord power. In the episode, the Master cites his control of the Matrix as justification for ruling Gallifrey. Restoring it would be the first step toward restoring Time Lord power.

The Trial of a Time Lord 13-14 (aka The Ultimate Foe) - S23-E4

Corrected entry: The first time the 2nd Mr. Popplewick refers to the 1st Mr. Popplewick, he calls him the 'Very Junior Mr. Popplewick'. Then, for the rest of the scene he is simply referred to as the 'Junior', not the 'Very Junior'. Then the 2nd one refers to himself as a SENIOR clerk, implying there are two of them. So why say the 'Very Junior'?

Correction: They are meant to be confusing.

Correction: The term "crown" implies royalty. Gallifrey is ruled by presidents rather than kings and queens. Therefore the relics of Rassilon don't count, as he wasn't a king as such. The Doctor is splitting hairs, of course, but then the Sixth Doctor was a very pedantic incarnation.

The Trial of a Time Lord 13-14 (aka The Ultimate Foe) - S23-E4

Corrected entry: In episode 13, Glitz refers to the bronze coloured metal that decorates the court room as Maconite, saying it is very valuable. But in episode 14, he refers to a Maconite overcoat, meaning a form of restraint. The question is, why would you make straight jackets out of valuable metals?

Correction: I think the Maconite he's referring to is actually a type of wood; therefore the 'Maconite Overcoat' would be a coffin.

Planet of the Spiders - S11-E5

Plot hole: At the climax of episode 2, the Doctor is about to catch Lupton when the latter simply teleports to safety. So why didn't he do that in the first place, before engaging in a 15-minute chase?

Answer: TARDISes are generally available for properly authorised use on Gallifrey; they're not usually assigned to a particular Timelord on a long-term basis. The Doctor stole his when he left his homeworld.
