Talk:Victory of the Daleks (TV story)

Is there a link for the leaked audio clip? I wouldn't mind listening to it.

Wrong statement

Actually it is the second longest gap: the first being Day of the Daleks wich was a five years gap.

This is the statement to which the above anon poster referred:

• Discounting their flashback cameo in DW: The Waters of Mars, this is the longest gap between Dalek stories in the New Series, at almost two years since Journey's End. It is also the first standalone Dalek episode since DW: Dalek in 2005 and the Dalek appears to be an earlier model, using grey armour that was last seen in Remembrance of the Daleks.

I have now removed it, because it's such a nebulous claim. If you ignore that there were Daleks in TWOM, and if you ignore the fact that thre was no series in 2009, then it's a 21-month gap. But those "ifs" are very iffy indeed. From a production standpoint, the 2009 specials are a part of series 4, so there's two Dalek appearances in the latter part of series 4, and there's one here at the top of series 5. That's not at all that big a deal. The other way of looking at it, is that there are Daleks in every series of BBC Wales DW. Very many people would not consider there to be any sort of gap in Dalek stories in 2005 DW, and would counter with the point that the Daleks have been used more frequently now than at any point in DW history.

As for the second sentence, it's not clear at all what it is meant. What does "standalone Dalek story" mean? And there are two Dalek models in the trailer, anyway — possibly three. So who knows what that sentence means. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 18:50, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure by "standalone" they mean the first Dalek story since "Dalek" that consists of one episode The b-Unit's167th Drophyd 13:57, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Bloody hell. This sounds even worse than Catherine Tate

Having taken a look at the trailer after Eleventh Hour in slow motion, I'm not sure the pilot of the Plane flying towards the screen is human. Either that, or it's a rather strange space helmet...

Another wrong statement is "the Dalek Saucer seen in the dogfight with the Spitfires is the same sort as those from DW: Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways and DW: The Stolen Earth/Journey's End"

The Saucers seen in The Stolen Earth/Journey's End were different than the ones seen in Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways, though they were similar. Furthermore, the saucer seen in the trailers is seen to have more weapons on the top half, while it has a strange disc firing a blue ray not present on any other models on the underside. A more appropriate statement would be "The Dalek Saucer seen in the dogfight with the Spitfires is similar to those from Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways" as it is NOT the same.

Pictures

The silver Dalek was fan made and the black Dalek has no relation to this story whatsoever.

Since the new looking daleks(White,Blue,Yellow,Red) look super new while some keep their Russel look should we say these daleks my have a higher rank than the normal daleks?-207.241.247.1 16:14, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Daleks and Radio Times

The new issues of the Radio Times have different images on them. They have the red, blue and yellow Daleks. apparently the blue and red are produced in the same amount but less of yellow was produced, possibly showing bias towards Labour and Conservatives.

I also heard, although have no rock solid source, that the new Dalek colours are just so that the BBC can get more money from different colour toys. ☆The Solar Dragon ^(Talk)☆ 15:19, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

More Dating Issues?

I may be jumping the gun a bit, since the episode doesn't even air until tomorrow evening, but I'm sure the trailer shown after the repeat airing of "The Beast Below" tonight (16th April 2010) featured another one of these 'Production errors/dating issues' (like Rory's ID Card and Amy's age). Over Churchill's Left shoulder (to the viewer's right), there was a portrait of Queen Elizabeth wearing her crown - She wasn't Queen until 1952 and didn't have her coronation until '53. Twelve years after this episode. Look out for it tomorrow. Bet I'm shown to be wrong now I've written this! 86.134.188.188 21:15, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

Are you sure it isn't a young Queen Mother ? The other photo is definately George V1 86.26.137.154 07:10, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

I would guess that its the Queen Mother, based on this photo: http://www.vandaprints.com/image.php?id=149238 Jedman67 02:58, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

It's Official

Something is messing with the Timeline. Could factor into the ID Badge crisis?Excalibur-117 18:12, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

No it's not anything to do with the ID Badge because Steven Moffat confirmed that was a genuine mistake of props with the date on that badge. The website to hear the interview is on the Eleventh Hour story page under story notes. -- Michael Downey 18:14, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I heard about that. Still, the timelines being messed with, we should look out for that stuff in later episodes, no?. Excalibur-117 18:21, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Oh Yes I totally agree time things will crop up but we do need to be aware of what is genuine and what is a mistake :). -- Michael Downey 18:23, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed.Excalibur-117 18:24, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Last two episodes line

In the article is the line "This could mean that the Daleks do not feature in the last two episodes.". Don't be absurd. They don't spend a lot of money on new Dalek models and props not to use them. It's like saying "The Doctor can regenerate, therefore this could mean Matt Smith does not feature in the last two episodes". You can't say something either way without proper sourcing. Either there's a source that they will be, or a source that they won't, or it's pure pointless speculation in a factual article. 92.21.63.165 18:45, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

• I'm sitting watching Doctor Who Confidential, and Stephen Moffet said that he thinks those Daleks will be important in a future episode of Doctor Who, but that he doesn't know when. Unless he's bluffing, I doubt the Daleks will be in the finale. Mc hammark 18:51, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
• That too isn't a source on whether they will or will not for definite. You could also say "....this could mean they do not feature in the Weeping of Angels". I would bet the farm on them appearing in the final two episodes. 92.21.63.165 19:01, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

I agree this statement is wrong but I also doubt they will be in the finale, if they are I will be really disapointed because we need them space Dalek stories. -- Michael Downey 19:03, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Confused

Feeling a bit ill tonight and I am still confused about the episode...

What does Amy and the Doctor mean when they come to confront the Scottish Scientist babbling about 10,20,30 minutes etc.? --The Brig 19:11, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

They where basically telling him to run away so they could not de-activate him but he wasn't getting what they meant until they kept adding more time before they would pretened to return to de-activate him. -- Michael Downey 19:13, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Ahh, okay! Thanks for that - what a dope I was =P... The Brig 19:27, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

The Crack

Whilst I like the idea of a reccuring theme throughout the new series in the vain of Bad Wolf, Mr Saxon, etc. I dislike the idea of making a blatant effort to highlight it to the viewer each time. (Shining light, dramatic camera zooms, etc.) Kind of takes the fun out of listhening for it and makes it less of a suprise for viewers who aren't as attentive.

What do you guys think?

That goes to the forums, not episode talk pages.Excalibur-117 19:35, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, just use Wiki's for viewing mostly. My apologies.

Revelation?

Steven Moffat talked of a "revelation" about thirty minutes into the episode, saying that you would need to watch the episode twice to understand it. It could just be me, but I have no idea what this supposed revelation was. Does anybody else know? I've watched it three times and still don't have a clue what he is on about. Simson 23:24, April 17, 2010 (UTC)Simson.

I only watched it once, but i would suppose that since the Daleks plan was to rebuild the Dalek race, and they needed to trap the Doctor into unlocking the machine, they acheived victory - they succeeded. I dont get why you need to "watch it twice" in order to get that.

I honestly do not think it is that. He talked about a revelation that you have to watch twice to understand, and while the Daleks winning is great, it's not a revelation. Certainly not one you need to watch twice. I just hope someone asks him what he was on about so he can explain it. Simson. 03:16, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

The "revelation" potentially is the fact that Amy doesn't know and has never met the Daleks, and thus isn't afraid of them. Earth was moved to the Medusa Cascade and she doesn't remember? That is, in and of itself, IMPOSSIBLE, unless she A) was in a coma at the time and NEVER saw ANYTHING remotely close to the subject - which is a dubious theory at the very best-, B) an alien lifeform, which the Doctor would have seen and guessed the origin of before, or the better C) the cracks in time and space are LINKED TO HER (and maybe others). From what we've seen thus far, the cracks were in her bedroom - fairly close to the Tardis crash site, on that ship - probably close to the departure coordinates inside SpaceshipUK, and right on the wall on the back side of the tardis - when they departed through the time vortex. Why else would we see those fissures this regularly? Maybe someone's seeking her through time itself?

Dorabella

Braceman mentionned a "Dorabella" as his "love". I just google/wiki'd the term and one of the first results to pop on my screen was the Dorabella Cipher. Could it possibly have anything to do with the mysteries at hand? We got monsters, we got escaped Daleks, we got a regen'd Dalek empire, we got androids serving the UK, we got a totally screwed up timeline... Maybe that cipher will be used later in the season?
