*How do the colonists not recognise the Daleks after the events of ''[[Doomsday]]'' and ''[[Journey's End]]''? | *How do the colonists not recognise the Daleks after the events of ''[[Doomsday]]'' and ''[[Journey's End]]''? | ||
:It is revealed in [[The Time Traveller's Almanac]] that the events of [[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]] / [[The Parting of the Ways]], and therefore all Dalek stories since, didn't "happen" until after [[Dalek]] had "happened". Also, it is speculated that there are two Dalek histories in different timelines. The first ends with the events of [[The Evil of the Daleks]]. The second begins with the [[Fourth Doctor]] interfering in Dalek evolution in [[Genesis of the Daleks]] and includes the events of [[Journey's End]]. The Power of the Daleks may belong to the first timeline, in which case [[Doomsday]] and Journey's End never happened. | ::It is revealed in [[The Time Traveller's Almanac]] that the events of [[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]] / [[The Parting of the Ways]], and therefore all Dalek stories since, didn't "happen" until after [[Dalek]] had "happened".

::Also, now as of [[DW]]: ''[[Victory of the Daleks]]'' it appears Amy Pond does not remember the Daleks, implying the timeline has been messed with at some point, so what this means in relation to these events is yet to be seen. | ::Also, now as of [[DW]]: ''[[Victory of the Daleks]]'' it appears Amy Pond does not remember the Daleks, implying the timeline has been messed with at some point, so what this means in relation to these events is yet to be seen. | ||
::It's pretty well established that even many people from the early/mid 21st century--from Zoe Heriot to Henry van Statten--didn't know about the Daleks. If this does get explained away, it seems likely that people from farther in the future wouldn't know about those events either. | ::It's pretty well established that even many people from the early/mid 21st century--from Zoe Heriot to Henry van Statten--didn't know about the Daleks.

::The history of the Daleks is a continuity nightmare. As far as I can tell, there are at least four lines of continuity: 1) From ''The Daleks'' to ''Evil of the Daleks''; 2) From ''Genesis'' to ''Remembrance''; 3) From ''Dalek'' to ''Victory''; and a completely new line for with ''Pandorica''. And even these are confused. For example, the Tenth Doctor references ''Invasion'' in the third line. | ::The history of the Daleks is a continuity nightmare.

* IIRC, Ben says the Doctor was always going on about Daleks before regenerating. But didn't we see mostly every moment of their time together before this, with no mention of Daleks? The War Machines went directly into the Smugglers went directly into the Tenth Planet, right. Apologies if I've gotten show/novelization mixed up. | * IIRC, Ben says the Doctor was always going on about Daleks before regenerating.
