Doctor Who

The God Complex - S6-E12

Corrected entry: At first, the Doctor finds his room and it is number 11. When the Minotaur is chasing after them, and they hide in the Doctor's room, the number on the door is 7, not 11. (00:31:15 - 00:38:15)

Correction: They didn't hide in the Doctor's room, they hid in Amy's room. That room was number 7 because her greatest fear is her when she was 7 years old, waiting for the Doctor - but he never comes back. The Doctor defeats the Minotaur by realizing Amy's greatest fear and then breaking her absolute faith in him. The fact that they hid in Amy's room is key to the Resolution of the episode's plot.

Correction: His tastebuds were new and adjusting from his regeneration. He could have tried them again and learned to like them.

Captain Defenestrator

Day of the Moon - S6-E3

Corrected entry: When Rory is shown on the Hoover Dam, running to the edge, twice you see the Mike O' Callaghan/Pat Tillman Bridge. An impossibility as this scene takes place in 1969, and the bridge did not begin construction until February 2005.

MasterOfAll

Correction: Helpful on-screen text informs us that this is the Glen Canyon Dam in Arizona, not Nevada's Hoover Dam.

Let's Kill Hitler - S6-E9

Corrected entry: Hitler is depicted as right-handed, most noticeably when he pulls out his gun to shoot at the Teselecta. In reality, he was left-handed.

Correction: Rubbish. As already corrected for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, there are many pictures of him signing documents with his right hand.

Correction: The entire bedroom is restored to normal after the wardrobe shuts because of the reality-warping alien child. It's not a mistake.

Correction: It would only be real if the Angel is real. Like if it was an illusion of an Angel, the properties of the Angel would not be realized. Not even a drawing would suffice, it would have to be an actual image of an Angel.

The Satan Pit (2) - S2-E12

Doctor: So, that's the trap. Or the test or the final judgment, I don't know. But if I kill you, I kill her. Except that implies, in this big grand scheme of Gods and Devils, that she's just a victim. But I've seen a lot of this universe. I've seen fake gods and bad gods and demi-gods and would-be gods - out of all that - out of that whole pantheon - if I believe in one thing... Just one thing... I believe in her.

Season 2 generally

Trivia: "Torchwood" is an anagram for Doctor Who. Russell T Davies came up with it during the filming of Series 1 to label the tapes in order to prevent theft and potential leakage, and decided to use the name in the show proper.

Season 1 generally

Question: 1. Why was Rose not allowed to touch her past self without creating a paradox and causing those creatures to appear and eat everyone, but Amy was allowed to touch her younger self without any repercussions? 2. Why was Rose able to have the time vortex in her head for a few minutes and it only knocked her unconscious whereas the Doctor had it inside him for about 30 seconds and it basically killed him and caused his regeneration?

strikeand

Chosen answer: 1) When Stephen Moffat took over he ignored a lot of what had been developed before (there is not in-universe answer). 2) It would have killed Rose, so the Doctor absorbed the energy. His body regenerated before the energy could do a significant amount of damage that would prevent regeneration.
