Okay, so are we all agreed that the Dalek invasion of Earth and the subsequent Battle of the Medusa Cascade are still erased from time by the Time Cracks? 195.188.243.175talk to me 14:45, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

Well, since no episode after The Big Bang has really discussed the issue, and The Big Bang itsself left it rather ambiguous, I don't think that we can make an assumption one way or the other. We can't even be 100% sure that the invasion was actually erased. Maybe Amy stayed in her house throughout the invasion, and any Daleks that came into her house fell into the crack in her wall, causing her to forget them. I'm not saying that that is particularly likely, but it is a possibility. We also can't really use the fact that characters in Torchwood and Sarah Jane still don't believe in aliens, because I don't think that anybody would be too surprised by that even if it hadn't been for the cracks. I'm sure that UNIT or Torchwood or somebody came up with some lame coverstory that most people believed within hours the Earth being returned to its original location. Even in The End of Time, which featured a major event that would be at least as hard to ignore as the Dalek invasion was, Mr. Smith was able to come up with some BS coverstory, and most people would rather believe that the WiFi malfunctioned than that an alien took over all of their bodies and a planet materialized in the sky.

Could it have been something to do with the Men in Black, as seen in DW Dreamland and SJA The Vault of Secrets? We know they possess the ability to wipe people's memories of aliens, as Mister Dread does to Gita at the end of the latter story. I'd prefer this explanation over the Time Crack one, but the Crack is the more popular explanation among fans. I once dared to suggest alternative reasons for the forgetting of the Daleks over at Gallifrey Base, and it did go down well with most people. 82.2.136.93talk to me 18:19, February 16, 2012 (UTC)
