Also, if Skaro was made inaccessible because the "entire war was time locked" than the First Doctor should not have been able to visit there in the original Daleks storyline. And stories like Deadly Assassin and The Five Doctors should not have occurred, either. Remembering that the BBC HAS NEVER issued a firm rule on canon, then anything officially licensed by the BBC (and/or spinoff works licensed from creators) can be considered canon. That's the viewpoint of this Wiki. I can't recall if it was a novel or a Big Finish audio, but it has been established in a spin-off work that Skaro wasn't really destroyed in Remembrance. That's why the Seventh Doctor was able to go there later to get the Master's remains for the TV movie, and why Eleven is able to go there in this game. Also, if you only take TV episodes as canon, there is no reference in any episode to SKARO being time-locked, only the Time War and Gallifrey. That's sort of like saying a Time Lock is in place around the battlefields of World War I: that would include Germany and other combatants in Europe like Britain, but the US and Canada wouldn't be included. Skaro might be fine and dandy and being repopulated by Teletubby Daleks as we speak!

Czech, i think you misunderstand how the BCC put it. They said it was an official part of the series, not canon (if they did forget that :D). If the BBC say its part of the series, then it is. Since being in the series is canononical, then it is canon. While i see your views, there will be some explaination behind it, its just we don't understand it yet. Just because you or something is not understandable, doesn't make it not true. Sorry if this seems harsh as well :)[[User:Ooiue|Ooiue]] 15:55, June 25, 2010 (UTC) | |||
