Doctor Who

Rose - S1-E1

Stupidity: During the scene at the restaurant, Rose pulls the fire alarm. Then she and the doctor run through the kitchen, past several chefs who just duck and crouch into corners. This would easily be one of the stupidest ideas ever. If there was a fire, they would evacuate out the back door instead of just sitting there waiting to be choked to death. And if they knew about Auton Mickey, running out the back door would also be a lot more logical than just crouching down and waiting to be battered to death.

The Power of the Doctor - S13-E9

Stupidity: While on the Cyber planet in 1916, the Doctor receives a call from Kate Stewart telling her to come to Unit HQ in 2022 immediately, prompting her to then reluctantly ditch all her problems she's currently dealing with, to go to Unit. The TARDIS literally has all the time in the universe, so even if she waited a really long time, the problems in 2022 would still be there, so there was no need for her to change plans so abruptly.

The Power of the Doctor - S13-E9

Stupidity: After the crew of the space train have taken out the Cybermen, the Cybermen begin regenerating, which one of the crew points out. This guy seems to be aware of how regeneration works, but doesn't shoot at them again. In the series, it has been shown that shooting someone during a regeneration cycle will kill them instantly, but this idea is never considered.

The Power of the Doctor - S13-E9

Stupidity: When Yaz finds the huge Dalek drill, she starts saying everything she is thinking aloud, commenting "They're already here. Seismology. Volcanoes. Daleks, and the Master. This is not good news." There is absolutely no reason for her to say this out loud, considering that she is completely alone and saying this could've risked her getting caught.

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.

Midnight - S4-E10

Question: Is there any information on the entity shown in "Midnight?" It seems interesting enough to have some depth to it. It seemed to be bad in nature. It also seems to have been exactly what the woman that was possessed was afraid of.

Knever

Chosen answer: No, no information is avalible for the identity of the entity.
