Talk:Dalek puppet

I assumed that the "puppets" that we see in Asylum of the Daleks were just a new iteration of Robomen: http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Roboman with a more sophisticated implantation technique. Should the two be linked together or do they need separate sections, since they're not officially named during the episode?

The "puppets" are obviously a more advanced version of the same basic idea as the Robomen. That idea -- controlled human-like slaves -- also showed up in Remembrance of the Daleks, where the headmaster of Coal Hill School was under the control of the Imperial Daleks. The control, in that case, didn't seem to be total.

There are enough differences that the 3 examples ought to have their own pages but enough similarities that they ought to refer to each other. --2.96.18.176talk to me 23:04, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Converting Time Lords

"Time Lords cannot be converted by this means."

I don't recall anything of this nature being said in the episode, in fact that is why the Doctor wore one of the protective wristbands during most of it. I would straight out remove it but I am not familiar with any behind the scenes statements which may have stated this, but if they were behind the scenes shouldn't it be cited as such? And in fact based off other articles and previous skimming of the policies should be mentioned in their own section of the article and not in the article's main body.
