*The Daleks moved Davros from Skaro to Antalin. They buried him in a replica of the Kaled bunker. Once they had finished doing that, they presumably immediately set about digging him up again, all to fool him into thinking he was on Skaro. Did the Daleks use the slaves to bury Davros as well? If so, why didn't the slaves mention that in ''Destiny of the Daleks''? If not, why did the Daleks need the slaves to dig Davros up? | *The Daleks moved Davros from Skaro to Antalin.

*If the renegade Daleks in ''Remembrance of the Daleks'' were taking orders from the Dalek Prime, and presumably were in on the plot, then why did the Black Dalek at the end of ''Remembrance'' blow itself up when told of its race's defeat by the Doctor, when it should know full well that everything is going according to plan? | *If the renegade Daleks in ''Remembrance of the Daleks'' were taking orders from the Dalek Prime, and presumably were in on the plot, then why did the Black Dalek at the end of ''Remembrance'' blow itself up when told of its race's defeat by the Doctor, when it should know full well that everything is going according to plan? | ||
*The Antalin scheme requires either chronic stupidity on the part of the Doctor and Davros, or very careful alteration of maps by the Dalek Prime. In ''Remembrance'', the Doctor sees a star chart of what is allegedly Antalin, and believes it to be Skaro; it also seems that at no point between being revived on Antalin in ''Destiny of the Daleks'' and leading his Imperial faction in ''Remembrance'' did Davros ever bother to look at his home planet on a map, which surely would have shown clearly that the planet he was ruling from was NOT the planet he had been born on. | |||
A lot of this supports the theory put forward by some fans that the Dalek Prime's story about Antalin is actually untrue and is a fabrication for propaganda purposes, and that Skaro was destroyed in ''Remembrance''. If this is true, it is possible that the "Skaro" featured in ''War of the Daleks'' is actually Antalin, as this novel reveals that "Skaro" simply means "home" and so could be used to refer to whatever the current Dalek base of operations is. Evidence for this includes the fact that in ''War'', "Skaro" is not radioactive. | A lot of this supports the theory put forward by some fans that the Dalek Prime's story about Antalin is actually untrue and is a fabrication for propaganda purposes, and that Skaro was destroyed in ''Remembrance''.
