Talk:Rusty (Into the Dalek)

Journeys End Dalek

Could this Dalek be from the Series 4 Finale because when Clara is trying to unlock its memories you see him attacking the valiant in The Stolen Earth in a separate scene from the Doctor's Flashback of the very same episode. Lewody1 ☎ 22:19, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

Possibly but unlikely as if he was, the New Dalek Paradigm would have destroyed him, as they did with the other impure Daleks from Series 4 in Victory of the Daleks. Rusty also sees Bywater's death from Dalek in Series 1 so I think it's more likely that Rusty had access to these memories because of the pathweb shared among all Daleks rather than experiencing the events first-hand.--TheCoud'veBeenKing ☎ 09:49, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

Ahhh Thanks. I didn't think of that. Lewody1 ☎ 12:14, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

To be honest, the new dalek paradigm is very inconsistent with regards to which "impure" daleks are exterminated. A variety of "inferior daleks" survived on the asylum, including classic, special weapons, and (most importantly) "victory" daleks. Though it is most likely that rusty just got his memories from the pathweb, I don't think you can rule out the possibility that he is the dalek from the season 4 finale.. Realistically, the asylum episode kind of threw a wrench into ideas from victory of the daleks by preserving failed daleks instead of exterminating them. Again, I think rusty likely got his memories from the pathweb, I'm probably 80% sure that's what the writers intended, but I don't think anyone can be 100% positive on that. 24.11.137.161^{talk to me} 03:12, September 24, 2014 (UTC)Bill

It's very unlikely that the New Dalek Paradigm built the Asylum and put all the different insane Daleks inside, as many of the Daleks housed there took part in events of Dalek history which long pre-dated the existence of the New Dalek Paradigm ("Spiridon, Kembel, Aridius, Vulcan, Exxilon," says Oswin, to name a few). The strong implication is that the Daleks of old, long before the outbreak of the Time War, built the Asylum to preserve failed Daleks, as you say, and future generations of Daleks continued to use it throughout their history. I think it's also worth noting that it was the New Dalek Paradigm and the Parliament of the Daleks that finally made the move to destroy the Asylum.--TheCoud'veBeenKing ☎ 10:06, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

New paradigm?

The page lists Rusty as a New Paradigm Dalek but I don't see how this is true. Rusty appears identical to the older gold Time War Daleks. Fraggle ☎ 23:40, August 6, 2015 (UTC)
