- Moffat's attempts at being PC blow up twice. First we see Black men on what is revealed to be Skaro. Where Davros is. Davros is a Kaled, people known for their NAZI-like racism.
- There could have been black Kaleds in the past (i.e.: Before the events of Genesis of the Daleks). The racism between Kaleds and Thals may be based on something other than skin color. Or they could be allies, and therefore be considered "honorary Kaleds" (Nazi Germany held a similar sentiment toward the Japanese).
And then in Essex 1138, there are very clearly Black people among those watching the Doctor playing the electric guitar, standing next to a tank. Of the three, the leats likely one is actually the Black people in Essex in 1138.
- There is evidence of black people existing in England during the Middle Ages.
- Alternatively, the Doctor might have influenced events in the past, causing interracial mixing early in history.
- There is evidence of black people existing in England during the Middle Ages.
- If Davros has had the sonic screwdriver his whole life, why have we never seen him use it before?
- Have we ever seen him in a situation where it would have come in handy? Also, it's very possible that he would have no interest in a device that doesn't kill, wound or maim, especially by the time we meet him in Genesis.
- How did the Daleks know where to find the Doctor, and thus who to convert into a Dalek puppet? Isn't Coloney Starf wasting his time hunting the Doctor if the Daleks already know where he is? And if they have Bors there, what's to stop him from stunning the Doctor and transporting him like in Asylum?
- Its possible he was infected by the Coloney's snake that strangled him.
- In The Day of the Doctor, it is implied that Clara remembers all those her lives in the Doctor's timestream. (The Eleventh Doctor states she had 'seen' the Tenth Doctor and the War Doctor.) For someone who've been saving the Doctor for his whole life, her ignorance about the Skaro, Davros, and creation of the Daleks is quite surprising.
- The events are hazy to Clara as stated in the 50th anniversary special when the Doctor had to remind her she'd seen his 10th incarnation before
- Why does the Doctor assume the child in the battlefield is the same Davros that will create the Daleks? After all, Davros could be a common name for boys on Skaro.
- Theoretically, yes, but the chances of him encountering someone else on Skaro also named Davros are pretty minimal.
