Howling:Problems with the Asylum

The Howling → Problems with the Asylum

There be spoilers about un-released stories here.
Run back to the forums if you're scared.

The followings make the Asylum seems problematic:

1. Why is there an exiting teleport station in an asylum that's meant to be strictly quarantined -- especially one that the Daleks themselves specifically said they would not enter? Moreover why a force field that only the "patients" in the Asylums can shut down and allow themselves to be teleported outside?

2. Why does an impenetratable force field that is able to resist blaster that could blast an entire planet fail to block a small vessel crashing onto the planet?

3. Why is there even security for protecting the Asylum's "patients" in the first place if they are meant to be disposed? Why would the creator of the Asylum creates nanocloud to convert more people into the Asylum's "patients" servants and their kind?

4. Contrary to what the Dalek Prime Minister said, none of the Daleks there demonstrated any hatred or sanity at all -- they all only seemed mentally handicapped. Why were they even there in the first place then and not be exterminated due to inferiority?

5. Why are insane Daleks connected to the Pathweb? Cases like Oswin are bound to occur at some point.

6. Why do insane Daleks "of pure hatred" suddenly became peaceful to a stranger whom they formerly could indentify as the Doctor?

7. Why do Daleks in the Asylum even make use of the puppets? Why does the nanocloud create puppet for Daleks that are insane? Wouldn't making sleeper agent for insane individuals be kind of dangerous -- moreso when they are insane Daleks?

The episode itself is not that much better:

1. The existence of a Dalek Parliament is against what we have seen and known of the Daleks. Especially when within the episode, there is a mentioning of a pathweb that make Dalek communicate telepathetically in a manner similar to hive-mind, rendering communications in the Parliament meaningless. Moreover, are Daleks suppose to be democratic now?!?

2. Moffat owes us a reason of how the Pathweb connects to Daleks across different times. Othewise, it is extremely unlikely and pure coincidental that the Doctor's future encounter with the Daleks are those affected by the Pathweb corruption.

3. One minute its offensive to kill extremely dangerous Daleks that could end the entire Dalek-race; several minutes later they decided to blast the entire planet into pieces and kill everyone. In one episode the Daleks are sacrificial for the continuation of their race, in another they became coward and unwilling to risk going to the asylum. In other episodes the Daleks fear the Doctor, and then suddenly they invite him to their parliament and even did the extremely nice gesture of placing his Tardis beside him unlocked.

4. When did the Daleks suddenly became friendly fellows who entrust the Doctor with their plan? Why did they even went through the trouble to kidnap the companions...not even just one but 2? There's absolutely no sensical justification for what the Daleks did.

5. The Daleks mention they have no concept of elegance in the Battle of Canary Wharf but they have the concept of beauty...isn't that kind of the same thing...

6. Why do Daleks puppets who have functioning eyes need eyestalks?

An answer for the first (2) is that there was a hole in the forcefield that the Daleks couldn't find but the spaceship unintentionally had. The rest is for everyone else to wonder. 87.102.83.33^{talk to me} 10:47, September 8, 2012 (UTC)
