Serious problem with contenuity o__o ???
Stopping you right there. You're aware you're talking about
Doctor Who, right? This is practically Continuity Problems: The Series. Basically,
everything is only loosely canon.
Case in point: The Daleks. Their very first story gave them an origin of nuclear-mutants from an ancient race called Dals, who were eternally at war with the Thals. Then "Genesis of the Daleks" changed it up by showing a new origin at the hands of Davros. Still at war with the Thals, the race was now called the "Kaled" race, and Davros almost single-handedly created them as purposeful genetic mutants bred for superiority and survival, each with their own transportable tank. So they were no longer peaceful scientists turned savage while the militant savages turned peaceful. The Daleks just became the brainchild of a madman.
Item Two!
The Brain of Morbius. Featured is a segment where we see many faces unknown to us. These were intended to be the faces of the Doctor prior to the First Doctor. This is now discontinuity.
Item Three! The Eighth Doctor TV Movie, sometimes called "The Enemy Within." The Doctor claims to be half-human. As of NuWho, this is pretty much disregarded, though McGann is still credited as the Eighth Doctor.
Item Four!
Two accounts of the destruction of Atlantis. I believe one was in the Second Doctor's run, and the other was in the Third Doctor's run, but I'd have to check that.
Also, the Daleks have gone extinct more times than one could ever count. There is no "Very Final End" for them. Or the Master. Or the Cybermen, even after they lost their homeworld in
the very first story in which they appear. Cybermen also seem to change their appearance a lot. And their weaknesses.
Item Five! Regeneration count. I believe this was initially brought for a story involving the Master running out and trying to get more. Now it's pretty much shrugged off. This could be due to the Time War and its results, however, as they generally keep up with the rule after this came up (though it was never mentioned beforehand).
Should I go on, or can we pretty much agree now that there is no continuity in Doctor Who beyond what the writers feel like accepting that week?
And my final point of the night:
Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey.
