Why would the Dalek leave Adelaide alive when she was a child? The Doctor's reasoning was that the Dalek knew that her death was fixed so left her alone, but the Dalek's thought that they would be destroying everything in the Universe in that episode. Surely either the Dalek's subconsiously knew that they would fail (which is absurd) or the Doctor's reasoning is false. --[[User:Croasdale|Croasdale]] 17:36, November 16, 2009 (UTC) | Why would the Dalek leave Adelaide alive when she was a child?

**The Dalek would have been unlikely to exceed its function. It was there to subdue the humans so they could continue with their ultimate plan. To get a little further into it: natural instinct would have been to kill Adelaide or round her up, but at this point the Daleks are likely somewhat "time-sensitive". Sure, it and all of its Dalek friends are about to go destroy reality itself later. But right at that moment, it's not the mission for that particular Dalek. Destroying someone whose death it perceived was a fixed point might have disturbed the web of time, maybe even leading to the Daleks' ultimate plan being compromised. It could have taken the chance perhaps, and shot Adelaide. Or, it could have decided to just stick to its current mission and leave that one harmless child. It obviously chose the latter.

*I also have a proposal for the Plot Hole/Discontinuity section. Brooke mentioned all the troublesome things, like oil shortages and all but not something as big as what happened in Torchwood: Children of Earth? I know lots of things happened that the humans write off, but that was something pretty big, it was supposed to be a big deal even then. I fear that they are also going to act like it never happened in The End of Time too. | |||
