The Long Game:

10 Judging from the windows on the external shots, Station 5 doesn't look like it's got anywhere near 500 floors.

20 One of the extras in the "newsroom" can't manage the simple task of placing their hand into the moulded handprint on the access globes.

30 If Suki is supposedly a rock-hard freedom fighter, why does she act like such a girl when she first reaches Floor 500?
[No offence to any girls in the audience.]

40 When Suki finds the decayed corpses on Floor 500, it sounds like she drops her torch, but immediately afterwards it's in her other hand.

50 If it's so cold on Floor 500, why are the bodies decayed? They should be better preserved. Also, how does anyone move (particularly the Editor)? The water inside his body should be frozen solid.

60 For that matter, why do they go to such trouble with the air-conditioning to keep Floor 500 cold? They're in space, for heaven's sake. It's close to absolute zero out there — open a window!

70 We're told that you need a key to travel in the lifts between floors — so how does Adam get down to level 016?

80 The dead Suki blinks while sitting at her console.

90 If Max can control zombies through the wireless implants, and humans can absorb data subconsciously through their Mark II chips, why doesn't Max simply control humans directly through their implants? Why be subtle through the media when you have a mainline to peoples' brains?

100 How did Cathica get to Floor 500 in order to save the day? Wouldn't she have needed to be promoted?

110 When the Doctor sees Adam with the chip in his head, why did he automatically assume that Adam had done this by his own volition? Surely it's equally plausible that Adam had been forced into the operation and made to "talk" by the Editor?

120 In the scene towards the end where the Doctor marches angrily towards Adam, and as Adam says "I'm alright now, much better. I've got the key..." you can clearly see a boom mic above Adam's head coming in from the right of the screen.

130 After the Doctor returns Adam home, and needs to get rid of the phone machine message that Adam sent from the year 200,000 — why does he blow the machine up? Why not simply erase the message?

140 Futhermore, if the Doctor was so concerned about the phone message disrupting the timeline, why did he do nothing about the great big wodge of 200,000AD technology implanted in Adam's head? Since the "chip" is anachronistic to the 21st century, surely this is bound to cause major problems — as we see almost instantly when his mum snaps her fingers and notices it at the end of the episode!
[He'll never be able to watch The Addams Family again, for starters.]

150 Also at the very end, when Rose and the Doctor are snapping their fingers, notice Adam's hair is parted from left to right. When Adam's mum comes in the door and he turns, his hair is suddenly parted the opposite way.
