I don't understand the Daleks and Cybermen think all other races are inproper and must be destroyed or converted and they worked together with other species to stop the doctor, the cracks must have been very serious to make daleks and cybermen work together to save the universe--[[User:Jackr12|Jackr12]] 19:14, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

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.


Can we please keep all the members of the Alliance out of the infobox and instead on the article? The infobox stretches horribly if we listed every single race on there. [[User:The evil dude|The evil dude]][[User:The evil dude|.]] 20:18, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Why would the Daleks and Cybermen want to prevent the destruction of [all] the Universe(s)? Isn't that their goal? Imprisoning the Doctor would then be counter-intuitive, unless its just because of a grudge.

sorry just don't get it why are they there, there basically allies to the doctor, more allies than enemy, the judoon even wanted help from the doctor when fighting the daleks and thats another thing in that room the judoon are probably trying to stop most of the aliens in that room, and also another thing i think they could be helping the doctor cause they never said ONE word in the whole scene which makes me think are they being sneeky.

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.

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)
