Dalek [[time travel]] is inconsistent.

Dalek time travel is "crude and nasty" in [[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'' and their time travel technology can rival the [[Time Lord]]s by the [[Gallifrey (audio series)|''Gallifrey'' audio series]], leading to the [[Last Great Time War]]. | Dalek [[time travel]] is inconsistent.

Indeed, it is apparent that Davros was restored to his original personality before ''[[Father of the Daleks (short story)|Father of the Daleks]]'', in which he joins the Dalek war effort. Dalek time travel technology is clearly advanced in [[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'', with [[Colony Sarff]] being sent to multiple points in [[time]] (including the [[end of the universe]] where the [[Sisterhood of Karn]] are). It is never stated that the Daleks or Davros have looked into their personal future. | ||
