Interestingly...[[edit source]]
I noticed that every famous Doctor Who villain was here... except for the Weeping Angels, one of the most popular monsters of late.
Though I can understand reasons why they wouldn't show up. Mainly because they are sadists who probably wouldn't care less if the universe is destroyed. In fact they were probably welcoming it because it would put them out of their misery.
And they don't have spaceships... But I'm pretty sure they have their own way of traveling through space.
2 Things[[edit source]]
Exactly where in the scene is the Weevil? I looked where other people say but it turned out to be the Hoix. You can see the cables in it's "armor." Also, am I the only one who noticed that the Sycorax DO physically appear? There's one in the VEERY back. On this page's image it can be seen in the top left. It's helmet is on.
- Take a look at this screenshot (not done by me): http://dalektricity.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/silurians-and-weevils.jpg. The Weevils are definitely there.
- As for the Sycorax, yes, you are correct. But note that they're already noted in the "Notable Members" section. (God, that's a lot of notes...)

Zygons?[[edit source]]

Chronological Placement in Articles[[edit source]]
Where exactly would the actions of the Alliance fit in the histories of species pages such as Dalek, Cyberman, Sontaran, etc? Does the Alliance count as an alternate timeline scenario, even though it was a part of the "prime" timeline before the Eleventh Doctor "rebooted" the universe in The Big Bang?Thalek Prime Overseer ☎ 10:52, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
