										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I'm a shameless Doctor Who geek.&nbsp; I loved the first episode of the new series.&nbsp; But I wanted to point out a (minor?) plot hole in the episode.</p>

<p>Slight spoilers here, so wait until you've seen the show.</p>

<p>Towards the end, the Doctor is having a stand off with the Atari.&nbsp; He's discussing the planet Earth and asks...</p>

<blockquote><p>Is this world protected?</p></blockquote>

<p>The Atari play a montage of various baddies the Doctor has seen off including the Silurians / Sea Devils!) - but take a look at these three images.</p>

<p></p><div id="attachment_1956" style="width: 494px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1956" class="size-full wp-image-1956" title="Ood" src="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/ood.png" alt="Ood" width="484" height="272"><p id="caption-attachment-1956" class="wp-caption-text">Ood</p></div><p></p>

<p>Everyone loves the Ood, right? But I don't remember them attacking Earth?&nbsp; I suppose you could make the case that the Doctor saved the Earth when he stopped all the Ood going mad but a) we never saw what was happening on Earth and b) that was relative future to the episode and there's no indication the Atari can time travel.</p>

<p></p><div id="attachment_1955" style="width: 494px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1955" class="size-full wp-image-1955" title="Hath" src="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/hath1.png" alt="Hath" width="484" height="272"><p id="caption-attachment-1955" class="wp-caption-text">Hath</p></div><p></p>

<p>The <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Hath">Hath</a> are a different kettle of fish.&nbsp; There is no indication that they were ever even on Earth, let alone a threat to it.&nbsp; So what are they doing in the montage?</p>

<p></p><div id="attachment_1954" style="width: 494px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1954" class="size-full wp-image-1954" title="Library" src="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Library.png" alt="Library" width="484" height="272"><p id="caption-attachment-1954" class="wp-caption-text">Library</p></div><p></p>

<p>Finally, I'm pretty sure that's the <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Vashta_Nerada">Vashta_Nerada</a> - they exist on all worlds, sure, but they were only ever defeated in The Library.</p>

<p>That is <em>literally </em>the only thing I could find to complain about in the episode.&nbsp; I thought the new titles were fab, loved the new assistant and think that Matt Smith - a fellow UEA alumnus - is outstanding.</p>

<p>Here's to the <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">fifth</span> 33rd season of Doctor Who!</p>
