They probably choose a small area that would have little resistance; if they drilled in New York there may have been more resistance.'' | ||

''There's no evidence that they had not heard of Daleks before the Invasion. And also the events of Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks only affected around 100 people, all which would be dead by now.

''Perhaps it would be hard for her to explaining regeneration to Tom or perhaps she knows when he is going to regenerate and she wants to be with him. Also, she does not know for sure that he will regenerate into a younger body.'' | ||
