Lumic: What is your name?

Doctor: I'm the Doctor.

Lumic: A redundant title. Doctors need not exist. Cybermen never sicken.

Doctor: Yeah, but that's it! That's exactly the point! Oh, Lumic, you're a clever man...I'd call you a genius, except I'm in the room. But everything you've invented, you did to fight your sickness. And that's brilliant. That is so human. But once you get rid of sickness and mortality, then what's there to strive for? Eh? The Cybermen won't advance. You'll just stop! You'll stay like this forever. A metal Earth with metal men and metal thoughts. Lacking the one thing that makes this planet so alive. People. Ordinary, stupid, brilliant people.

Mistakes

When Miss Hartigan is testing the earpod control, the men start off facing her. She instructs them to turn to the right. They turn 90 degrees clockwise. She then tells them to turn to the left. They turn 180 degrees anticlockwise. However, they should have only turned 90 degrees anticlockwise, and end up facing her again. What they actually do is turn on the spot, as opposed to turning left. It takes a further instruction from Miss Hartigan for them to face her again. See more...

Trivia

The "I can feel the earth spinning" scene was filmed outside the changing rooms of a local football (soccer) team called the Gabalfa Draconians. The Draconians were an alien race in the 1970s story "Frontier in Space." See more...

The entry you are correcting is:

Title Doctor Who (2005)
Original entry Series 6, Episode 1: "The Impossible Astronaut" - When the alien kills Joy in the bathroom in front of Amy, the fragments of her body disappear from the floor once the alien approaches Amy.

Please read carefully:

  • MOST IMPORTANTLY: Be sure you've actually seen the scene yourself and checked it's wrong, rather than just assuming something's a mistake because of how it's worded on the site.
  • Don't just try and think of an excuse - by and large if something looks like a mistake, it's a mistake. Yes, the character may have chosen to suddenly take a jacket off while the camera was off him for 3 seconds, or they may have decided to take all of the batteries out of their clocks, but unless you have any reason to believe that's the case, it's just a movie mistake. Corrections must be based on evidence in the movie, not just a theory.
  • This form is ONLY for disproving entries. If one minor part of an entry is wrong, but the overall entry is still valid, please use the "change text" option instead.
  • Please just write an explanation in the box as to why the entry's wrong. Don't repeat the original text.
  • Having a movie-making explanation isn't a valid correction. Saying "his jacket changes because they shot that scene on different days" might explain WHY the mistake occurs, but doesn't explain it within the context of the film.
  • If an entry says that something changes "between shots" that means it's an instant change, visible onscreen at all times, so it can't be corrected by saying "it only takes a fraction of a second to change positions".
  • Make sure you READ THE ENTRY CLOSELY. You'd be amazed how many people, despite a mistake saying something like "before the explosion, his hair changes", submit a correction saying "the change was caused by the explosion".
  • Mistake spotting isn't about assigning blame to specific people - if there's an entry relating to the subtitles or something similar, the argument "those are done by someone different, it's not the movie-makers' fault" isn't really valid. It's an inconsistency to spot relating to the movie, therefore it's worth listing on this site.
  • Just because something requires slow motion/pause to spot doesn't automatically invalidate it. If the mistake's significant enough then it should be listed regardless. However, minor continuity mistakes (a tiny change in someone's clothing, for example) which needs slow motion to see shouldn't be online.
  • If you don't like a mistake, but can't actually disprove it, just vote it down, or suggest that it should be moved to the "minor" section by selecting "minor entry" from the list of editing options.
  • If you're correcting trivia by saying "that's too obvious" or something similar, bear in mind not everyone may have your level of movie knowledge. Certain references like the Indiana Jones hat-grab from under a door are so well known that they shouldn't be listed, but many others are not. If something's been referenced a lot in the past, it's probably not worth listing, but something more unusual should stay online. Likewise anything interesting on-screen - if it's specifically drawn attention to (like the Ark of the Covenent in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) then it's not worth listing, but if it's something more subtle, just because you noticed it easily, don't assume everyone else did too.
