:*In one of the Interludes in the book (page 81 - Interlude Human Space), it's set on a planet covered entirely by water, called Antalin. (This planet has the same name as the planet which was made to look like Skaro). ''Perhaps it simply shared Antalin's name, like there can be two places on Earth with the same name.'' | :*In one of the Interludes in the book (page 81 - Interlude Human Space), it's set on a planet covered entirely by water, called Antalin.

*If during the events of ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'' the Daleks discovered records of Skaro's destruction and set about preventing it, why would they not also find out about the cataclysmic (for the Daleks) events of ''[[Doomsday]]'' and ''[[Journey's End]]''? | *If during the events of ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'' the Daleks discovered records of Skaro's destruction and set about preventing it, why would they not also find out about the cataclysmic (for the Daleks) events of ''[[Doomsday]]'' and ''[[Journey's End]]''? | ||
*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. | *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.
