Anyway, at least the alternate-timeline Daleks were happy. Until the freedom fighters accidentally accomplished their mission (as described by 89 above), which wiped out that alternate timeline. --[[Special:Contributions/173.228.85.35|173.228.85.35]] 05:19, September 8, 2011 (UTC) | Anyway, at least the alternate-timeline Daleks were happy.

Well the Daleks in this story were intended by the writers to be from sometime after the events seen in "The Evil of the Daleks." There was a scene scripted and filmed for the story where the Daleks explain to the Third Doctor how they survived the war with the humanised Daleks at the end of the earlier story, but this scene was left on the cutting room floor for reasons of length. The Daleks in TEOTD seem to come from a time many hundreds, if not thousands of years in Earth's future. So if they invaded Earth sometime between the late 20th/early 22nd century, they must have gone back in time to do so. As I said, in DOTD, they recognise both the First and Second Doctors, but not the Third. Furthermore, prior to the Last Great Time War, the Daleks never went around causing time paradoxes that could disrupt their own timeline; that's what the Seventh Doctor seemed to think at the time of "Remembrance of the Daleks" anyway. | |||
I feel it's also worth noting that the authors of "The Dalek Handbook" believe that the Daleks in "Frontier in Space" and "Planet of the Daleks" were time travellers from around the 41st century that had gone back to the 26th. I'm not sure what to make of this personally, it seems a bit doubtful somehow. [[Special:Contributions/194.168.208.42|194.168.208.42]] 10:44, September 8, 2011 (UTC) | |||
