| == Kaled DNA == | | == Uncredited cast == |
| Now hold on... we assume they must be either the Daleks from Parting of the Ways or Journey's End, right? And we assume that if they are the ones from the latter, then the whole "corrupted DNA" thing is because they have Davros' DNA inside them... but think about it: Daleks, as far as DNA, are still just Kaleds. Mutated Kaleds, but Kaleds nonetheless. And Davros is a Kaled. That's why Davros called them "New Daleks, '''True''' Daleks", because they had Kaled DNA identical to the original Daleks that Davros mad on Skaro. So... if they are part of Davros' New Dalek Empire, should the progenator (spelling?) register them as pure-DNA'd Daleks? [[User:Sorryaboutthatchief|Sorryaboutthatchief]] 05:30, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

| | == Most Dalek Models? == |
|
| |
|
| I've always shied away from the idea that the Daleks actually ugraded their casing before Victory but here it seems the most likely explanation. The new Daleks somehow are more like the Genesis Daleks. Somehow.
| | How can "this episode holds the record for the most non-CGI Dalek models used in a single story" be true when Moffat collected so many Dalek models from different eras for Asylum of the Daleks? I would think that episode holds the record.[[Special:Contributions/69.125.134.86|69.125.134.86]]<sup>[[User talk:69.125.134.86#top|talk to me]]</sup> 21:14, April 2, 2013 (UTC) |

| At the end of the episode Churchill is reading the damage reports and states that the palace was bombed as well as St. Paul's. St. Paul's Cathedral was one of the main settings in [[The Lazarus Experiment]], a story starring [[Mark Gatiss]], the writer of this episode.[[User:Invictus152|Invictus152]] 06:08, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

| Two problems with that - One, St Pauls itself was never actually bombed during the war (Urban legend has it the Germans used it as a waypoint), and Two, the climax of The Lazarus Experiment took place in [[Southwark Cathedral]], not St Pauls.

| == Story Arc ==
| |
| | |
| Two notes, one, could Amy not remembering the events of journey's end, simply be because she left the doctor from a few years before we assume "the eleventh hour" takes place (2010) but could actually just be a few years beforehand? She dosn't remember because it simply hasn't happened yet? And thats why Rory's ID says it was issued in 1990?
| |
| <br />
| |
| And why has every episode included women crying? The few seconds of the Woman crying over her lost love seemed to be implied like it was more important then it was.
| |
| | |
| :Perhaps that's a subtle hint that we're going to visit Woman Wept on-screen soon? Hard to say at this point, but it's a good observation. We did also have the little girl crying in the previous story, and of course the "Weeping" Angels in the next. Was there someone prominently crying in Eleventh Hour? As far as the ID badge thing goes, Moffat himself has said that's basically an error on their part (see the interview [http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/features/steven-moffat-interview-doctor-who.php here]). And the Doctor seems absolutely positive she should know about the Daleks/the Medusa Cascade incident, and they probably wouldn't have so much emphasis on him saying that (or have her not remember, for that matter) if the answer was just "Oh, you left before it happened. Nevermind." [[User:TweedJacket|TweedJacket]] 10:00, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

| == Wrong statement ==
| |
| | |
| Actually it is the second longest gap: the first being [[Day of the Daleks]] wich was a five years gap.
| |
| | |
| ::This is the statement to which the above anon poster referred:
| |
| ::* Discounting their flashback cameo in [[DW]]: ''[[The Waters of Mars]]'', this is the longest gap between Dalek stories in the New Series, at almost two years since [[Journey's End]]. It is also the first standalone Dalek episode since [[DW]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'' in 2005 and the Dalek appears to be an earlier model, using grey armour that was last seen in [[Remembrance of the Daleks]].
| |
| ::I have now removed it, because it's such a nebulous claim. If you ignore that there were Daleks in TWOM, and if you ignore the fact that thre was no series in 2009, then it's a 21-month gap. But those "ifs" are very iffy indeed. From a production standpoint, the 2009 specials are a part of series 4, so there's two Dalek appearances in the latter part of series 4, and there's one here at the top of series 5. That's not at all that big a deal. The other way of looking at it, is that there are Daleks in every series of [[BBC Wales]] DW. Very many people would not consider there to be any sort of gap in Dalek stories in 2005 DW, and would counter with the point that the Daleks have been used more frequently now than at any point in DW history.
| |
| | |
| ::As for the second sentence, it's not clear at all what it is meant. What does "standalone Dalek story" mean? And there are two Dalek models in the trailer, anyway — possibly three. So who knows what that sentence means.

| Bloody hell. This sounds even worse than Catherine Tate
| |
| | |
| Having taken a look at the trailer after Eleventh Hour in slow motion, I'm not sure the pilot of the Plane flying towards the screen is human. Either that, or it's a rather strange space helmet...
| |
| | |
| Another wrong statement is "the Dalek Saucer seen in the dogfight with the Spitfires is the same sort as those from DW: ''Bad Wolf''/''The Parting of the Ways'' and DW: ''The Stolen Earth''/''Journey's End"''
| |
| | |
| The Saucers seen in The Stolen Earth/Journey's End were different than the ones seen in Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways, though they were similar. Furthermore, the saucer seen in the trailers is seen to have more weapons on the top half, while it has a strange disc firing a blue ray not present on any other models on the underside. A more appropriate statement would be "The Dalek Saucer seen in the dogfight with the Spitfires is ''similar'' to those from Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways" as it is NOT the same.

| |
| I may be jumping the gun a bit, since the episode doesn't even air until tomorrow evening, but I'm sure the trailer shown after the repeat airing of "The Beast Below" tonight (16th April 2010) featured another one of these 'Production errors/dating issues' (like Rory's ID Card and Amy's age). Over Churchill's Left shoulder (to the viewer's right), there was a portrait of Queen Elizabeth wearing her crown - She wasn't Queen until 1952 and didn't have her coronation until '53. Twelve years after this episode. Look out for it tomorrow. Bet I'm shown to be wrong now I've written this! [[Special:Contributions/86.134.188.188|86.134.188.188]] 21:15, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

| In the article is the line "This could mean that the Daleks do not feature in the last two episodes.". Don't be absurd. They don't spend a lot of money on new Dalek models and props not to use them. It's like saying "The Doctor can regenerate, therefore this could mean Matt Smith does not feature in the last two episodes". You can't say something either way without proper sourcing. Either there's a source that they will be, or a source that they won't, or it's pure pointless speculation in a factual article.

| == Revelation? ==
| |
| | |
| Steven Moffat talked of a "revelation" about thirty minutes into the episode, saying that you would need to watch the episode twice to understand it. It could just be me, but I have no idea what this supposed revelation was. Does anybody else know? I've watched it three times and still don't have a clue what he is on about. [[User:Simson.|Simson]] 23:24, April 17, 2010 (UTC)Simson.
| |
| | |
| I only watched it once, but i would suppose that since the Daleks plan was to rebuild the Dalek race, and they needed to trap the Doctor into unlocking the machine, they acheived victory - they succeeded. I dont get why you need to "watch it twice" in order to get that.-[[User:Jedman67|Jedman67]] 23:30, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| I honestly do not think it is that. He talked about a revelation that you have to watch twice to understand, and while the Daleks winning is great, it's not a revelation. Certainly not one you need to watch twice. I just hope someone asks him what he was on about so he can explain it. [[User:Simson.|Simson.]] 03:16, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| The "revelation" potentially is the fact that Amy doesn't know and has never met the Daleks, and thus isn't afraid of them. Earth was moved to the Medusa Cascade and she doesn't remember? That is, in and of itself, IMPOSSIBLE, unless she A) was in a coma at the time and NEVER saw ANYTHING remotely close to the subject - which is a dubious theory at the very best-, B) an alien lifeform, which the Doctor would have seen and guessed the origin of before, or the better C) the cracks in time and space are LINKED TO HER (and maybe others). From what we've seen thus far, the cracks were in her bedroom - fairly close to the Tardis crash site, on that ship - probably close to the departure coordinates inside SpaceshipUK, and right on the wall on the back side of the tardis - when they departed through the time vortex. Why else would we see those fissures this regularly? Maybe someone's seeking her through time itself?

| ::I think it's a reference to Amy and the rest of the world forgetting the Daleks even though in 2059 the Bowie base 1 crew (or at least Adelaide Brooke) knew about them.

| I noticed this on my first watching, but when Amy is helping Bracewell evoke the sensation of "loving someone you know you shouldn't," she says "hurts, doesn't it?" then glances briefly at the Doctor, then looks back at him and says "but kind of a good hurt." I really, really hope that wasn't intended to imply another companion with a romantic attraction to the Doctor, but it might be the case and that might be the revelation. It's still vague enough to possibly just be her looking to see if he approves of or is impressed by her idea, though. [[Special:Contributions/122.107.81.33|122.107.81.33]] 09:09, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

| I think the revelation probably refers to the cracks - we see the Tardis materialise at about 30 minutes in, the first time in this series where we see a crack location before the reveal at the end of the episode - and that's why you have to go back and watch again to see it. Or rather not see it, as there's no crack on the wall, yet one appears by the end of the episode... [[Special:Contributions/62.56.48.27|62.56.48.27]] 12:12, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

| Hello! Never been on here before but i've recently gotten right into my Doctor Who and i'm similarly eager to know why Amy can't remember the daleks. Could this have something to do with the timelords? .. I vaguely remembering reading that Rassilon and the gang are set to return at some point? ..
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| Cracks only seem to appear after outside the TARDIS when it travels in time, but don't appear outside it when it travels only through space. The Daleks will most likely appear at the end of the season. From trailers the Doctor is heard to say "putting him in a trap" is not wise etc, and there's someone dressed pretty much the same as him but a lot older. However, it probably isn't coincidental, even though Moffat and RTD discussed the "timelords" that cracks appear in the fracture of the Universe after Rassilon tries to rip the time vortex apart. In my opinion it is likely that either the Timelords did something else....possibly to the TARDIS as they were sent back, or something else slipped through before being noticed. It should be noted from Moffat's episode guide - http://www.radiotimes.com/blogs/910-doctor-who-steven-moffats-episode-guide/ that the final two episodes are outlined as:
| |
| | |
| : "''A message on the oldest cliff-face in the universe, a puzzle box opening from the inside and a love that lasts thousands of years… The fates are drawing close around the Tardis - is this the day the Doctor falls?'' "There was a goblin. Or a trickster, or a warrior. A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. Nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it - one day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world""
| |
| | |
| From The End Of Time, assuming it is linked, the final sentences could be linked to the unseen [[Nightmare Child]], [[The trickster|Trickster]], the Daleks (probably) or various other things. It is possible "is this the day the Doctor falls?" is linked to Rassilon himself ("You'll die with me Doctor"'' etc). ''But we could second guess every line muttered in the series thus far - Moffat and RTD are two different writers with different ideas. We could be all thinking "oh it's obvious" but then it turns out it isn't. We'll only know after watching the series! [[Special:Contributions/92.21.63.165|92.21.63.165]] 18:42, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

| | |
| If the "revelation" is really the fact that the TARDIS ''creates'' the cracks, then the real question is why there was a crack in Amelia's house in the first place. The answer to Prisoner Zero's "You know who made the cracks, don't you" would be that it's the Doctor himself, and Amy isn't the only one who doesn't know something that she should know.

| i'm personally guessing that the daleks now know that the doctor's weakness is earth: his relationship with humanity
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| I'm not sure about any of these. I'm almost certain that NONE of these are revelations you'd need to watch the episode twice to understand. But the one person who commented on Amy's understanding Bracewell's "My life is a lie" kind of had a point... I mean, she apparently lost her parents, and she apparently also has an aunt, but we've never seen her. So she has no on-screen guardians, and--well, you put the rest together. It'll just seem daft if I type it.

We got monsters, we got escaped Daleks, we got a regen'd Dalek empire, we got androids serving the UK, we got a totally screwed up timeline... Maybe that cipher will be used later in the season?

| :The name "Dorabella" means "beautiful pain" (or perhaps "painful beauty"), which fits in very well with what Amy was talking about ("hurts... but a good kind of hurt"). I'd guess it's probably meaningful in that sense, but not in any plot sense. --[[Special:Contributions/99.50.120.236|99.50.120.236]] 08:02, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

| == more RTD daleks? ==
| |
| | |
| The new Daleks killed three of the RTD era daleks but there were severel more on the ship because there were quite a lot of them posing as 'ironsides' on earth, so they would have teleported back to the ship. Does that mean that the new Daleks will use the RTD daleks as slaves?[[User:Dalekcaan14|Dalekcaan14]] 09:56, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

| | |
| : It would be also possible that the new Daleks killed the other RTD Daleks later offscreen after the escaped through time and only had "better things to do" while they were in the room with just the three RTD Daleks so that they didn't have time for the others.[[Special:Contributions/78.43.114.215|78.43.114.215]] 10:35, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

| == Daleks from The Parting of the Ways, not Journeys End? ==
| |
| | |
| How certain are we that the Daleks are the ones from Journeys End and not The Parting of the Ways? I only ask this because the Doctor says that the last time they met they were at the end of their tether, more akin to the The Parting of the Ways Daleks. Add to the fact that the human DNA would mean they were not pure Dalek, a problem Davros would be able to overcome even if he used his own DNA to create them. Just had me wondering. Unless I missed something on Confidential.[[User:Clarkey3262|Clarkey3262]] 23:31, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Without any solid information from the BBC, I would have to suggest that they are from Journey's End. A time-shift of about 60 years is probably a lot easier for a damaged Dalek saucer, and it is the last time we have seen Daleks. But i doubt it really makes a difference.

| I agree it doesn't make any difference with regards to the story, unless it is related to the cracks in the universe, but is important from a factual point if view. Also they say they fell through a crack in time, no mention of a time shift, a bit like the Daleks from Parting of the Ways. I think it was the Doctor who said "another crack in time"[[User:Clarkey3262|Clarkey3262]] 11:32, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

| |
| | |
| First of all, I apology in advance for this post : I'm french, and my english could be a lot better.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Am I the only one to think that the Breen character is weird ? I mean, we've got lots of extras in DW stories, many of them are useless. Honnestly, Breen, in the story, is more than useless : she just speak to Churchill once and brought him a fold (something a Dalek/Ironside could have achieved on his own). But for an extra, that character has a pretty good background : we can see she's upset about somthing at the beginnig of the episode, a little confused in front of Churchill, then, in the last ten minutes, we learn that her boyfriend died in battle. But what's the point ? Why did they tell us all this crap about her, an insignificant walk-on part ? Why according so much credit to this woman, who nerver, ever, speak to the Doctor or Amy ?

| == CGI vs Real Daleks Record? ==
| |
| | |
| I'm uncertain about this comment in the article: "This episode holds the record for the most non-CGI Dalek models used in a single story, with no less then eight Dalek models on-screen at the same time."
| |
| | |
| | |
| Is this just in reference to the new series? Because I would swear there are moments in the classic series where there are more than eight onscreen Daleks. Perhaps it's just a trick of memory. Has anyone counted Daleks in the earlier episodes to be sure? [[Special:Contributions/67.233.164.203|67.233.164.203]] 22:37, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

| Well, now I know for sure it can't be talking about the classic series because in the surviving footage for Power of the Daleks, I count at least 15 "real" Daleks in one scene. [[Special:Contributions/67.233.129.229|67.233.129.229]] 06:45, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

| :::Power used [http://www.dalek6388.co.uk/power-of-the-daleks.htm four Dalek props], but they also used the cardboard cutouts again, like The Daleks and Invasion of Earth did to "bolster" their numbers. Evil used a number of toy Daleks to for the battles, as did Planet of the Daleks. It's probably talking about the New Series, because Remembrance of the Daleks had quite a few Imperial and Renegade props. I think the most NSDs they ever used in one story (without split screening or any post production) was four and that was in Stolen Earth/Journey's End. -- [[User:Imperial Empire|Imperial Emperor]] - <sup>[[User talk:Imperial Empire|Talk]]</sup> 12:48, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

| == New completely? ==
| |
| | |
| I was just curious, and I know this is probably for the forums but I don't understand them, are these new Dalek designs going to become the new standard for the series? Like are we done with the brass ones from before completely? More specifically did Steven Moffat specifically say anything on this, or has he stayed silent? Oh and I think the 'old Daleks' in this episode were Parting of the Ways Daleks, because Davros himself attested to his Daleks being "true Daleks", in other words his were all grown from Kaled cells like the original Daleks, and true Dalek DNA is simply DNA from the mutant Kaleds. [[User:Meganerd18|Meganerd18]] 20:13, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :It strikes me that the new designs are like the 1960s Daleks. The plates on the mid-section are horizontal, not vertical. And the strats of the 'neck' aren't visible. Like the Daleks in ''[[The Daleks]]'' and ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]''. Definitely a retro look. The designers do consider past designs when making the Daleks.--[[User:Exterminateallhumans|Exterminateallhumans]] 00:41, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

| The Daleks and the Doctor discuss the events of the Medusa Cascade, which means they have to be Davros Daleks.
| |
| | |
| And, while Davros may have considered his new Daleks "true Daleks", that doesn't mean he's right. Remember, his original Daleks were made from Kaled mutants, not normal Kaleds like him--and they almost immediately attempted to exterminate him for not being the same race as them. So, is it any wonder that both "pure" Daleks and Davros Daleks would consider the Davros Daleks inferior? --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 20:01, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :The part that Davros plays in Dalek history after ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks]]'' isn't all that clear. The audio plays shed some light, if we are to consider them canonical.We know from the TV series that he was destroyed with the Nightmare Child until rescued by Dalek Caan. THis doesn't mean that he lead or created the Daleks of the Time War. In fact we know they had an Emperor who was not Davros (''The Parting of the Ways''). He may have been their prisoner or their 'pet', as the TEnth Doctor puts it. THe new series seems to separate the destinies of DAvros and the Daleks in a way that the classical series after ''Genesis'' didn't. Making the Dalek so dependent on their creator made them boring and lame, imo. If the Daleks in ''Victory'' are from the Time War, they are probably of the same stock as the Emperor-god who harvested human genes and founded the Cult of Skaro. In which they were not made from Davros's cells, and from original Kaled stock.--[[User:Exterminateallhumans|Exterminateallhumans]] 04:23, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

| | |
| When the Doctor departs the Command Center for the Dalek Saucer, the wind that the Tardis generates when dematerialising (powerful enough to affect both hair and clothes) does not affect Winston's cigar smoke in the slightest. ----~ Anon 18:49 April 30, 2010 (GMT)
| |
| :Does this count as a production error: The Dalek menace is revealed within the first ten minutes of the show. There is no real exposition of the pretended subservience of the Daleks as in ''Power of the Daleks''. There is no build up of tension between the Doctor and the Daleks. The idea of bullet firing pitfires, even with anti-gravitational globes, destroying a Dalek ship is utterly implausible. The climax, the Daleks escaping, is anything but a climax. And most of the drama seems to occur after the characters central to the plot, the DAleks, have disappeared.
