Series Continuity Error: Difference between revisions

** In the earliest episodes, they talked about the ship. TARDIS was only Susan's nickname for it. However, since other Time Lords {{spoiler|and the TARDIS itself in "The Doctor's Wife"}} refer to the machine in question as such, this more likely either a very early [[Retcon]] or [[Early Installment Weirdness]].

** The original series had been on for over a decade before they ever addressed the issue of The Doctor and his companions being able to understand the natives no matter what era they were in or planet they were on. When a companion actually made mention of it after having been travelling with him for several years, it was a big deal and a clue that someone was controlling her mind. In the new series, it's been brought up several times with The Doctor being unconcerned that they've noticed.

** In an early episode, Carly never takes baths because she hates sitting ''in her own wet dirt''. Come ''iToe Fatcakes'', her entire B-plot revolves around her having a bath and somehow getting stuck in it.

** Another episode has Sam endure a Carly makeover to become "girlier" to impress a boy she likes. A few seasons later, Sam is revealed to have been a pageant girl for a long time, and there's no way she would've needed Carly's help to change to be a little girlier.

** Which came first? Mew or Arceus? It is commonly explained that Arceus created Mew, as the legend states that Mew is simply the common ancestor of all Pokémon. Scientifically speaking, it's easy to understand by studying evolutionary lines why humans would never actually trace things back to Arceus, since Arceus was never a part of the evolutionary line. So, to humans, Mew was the first Pokémon until Arceus was discovered much later. More of a Retcon.

** Another aspect that people outside of the 'verse overlook is the fact that, while evolution has been scientifically traced back to Mew, Arceus is a ''legend''. If you think about it, any trainer who catches Arceus is basically providing their world's first ever piece of conclusive evidence for the existence of [[God]].

* In ''[[Street Fighter II]]'', Guile wants revenge on M. Bison for killing his friend Charlie. In ''[[Street Fighter IV]]'', he's insistent that Charlie is still alive because (as established in the ''[[Street Fighter Alpha]]'' prequel series) they [[Never Found the Body]].
