If you haven't watched part 2 yet, then don't read on until you have


At the end the Doctor goes back to rescue Davros from the hand mines and teaches him the word "mercy" to enable the darlek that Clara is in to say "mercy" and thinking about the principles of time paradoxes if he didn't go back to save him would Davros have died at the hands of the hand mines and as a result would the Darleks then never have existed thus changing the future and cancelling out the need to go back to save Davros ... Therefore by going back did the Doctor assist in the creation of the Darleks ?


Second question

When we first met Clara she was inside a Darlek and was able to tell the Doctor her name, yet in the episode last night every time she said her name the Darlek said " I am a Darlek" - Is there a level of inconsistency and continuity failure here ?


Final question

In an earlier series the Darleks evolved into super Darleks, yet in this episode they are in their old form ( you even see the Darlek weapon first introduced during Sylvester McCoy incarnation of the Doctor, it's the one with the biggest gun In the background) and yes time travel means that the Doctor could have gone back to an earlier time, yet he mentions that Gallifrey has been found so this was ( in timelines) after the creation of the super Darleks ... What happened to them ?

I understood it as that Davros did manage to escape the handmines before the Doctor 'saved' him, but by going back, he gave Davros the concept of mercy and that was then transferred to the daleks.

Yep - it's an anagram of 'Kaled' which was Davros' race (before he defected) in the thousand year Kaled v Thal war on Skaro which led to the development of the Daleks as a weapon.

Okay so I am a dog and my pads aren't good on an iPad when it comes to spelling. You are correct it is Dalek and yes that is an anagram of kaled ...


Liz, you assume that Davros escapes the hand mines, however the paradox of time travel means that the Doctor must have gone back to save him and teach him the word mercy otherwise Clara wouldn't have been able to say it. Therefore his trip back was predetermined the moment she said Mercy but there isnt any proof that if he didn't go back theat Davros would have made it out alive... A real quandary but regardless it still doesn't solve the other two questions...


As for seabag and his question, a catch kids on Dalek would be brilliant but I expect by showing individuality it would be exterminated by the other Daleks ....

Had the Dr. not saved Davros the Daleks would never have existed therefore when the Dr. came across Davros among the hand mines he would have saved him. The Daleks would then have existed .... this time travel thing can get very complicated if you think about it too much.

I thought he escaped the first time b/c the Dr left him his sonic screwdriver. But, obvs he escaped under a great deal of stress and fear (with no concept of mercy), so the Dr had to go back and help him in person b/c even whiny little twits deserve to be saved (and create their very own monster race).


When Clara was previously in the dalek, she may have been able to make the dalek say "Clara" becuase she was wired in differently or had learned how the educate the dalek software... or some other suitable plot twist.


Christopher Eccleston is still second only to Tom Baker in my book. xx

Christopher eccleston, John pertwee and tom baker all good. Peter capaldi doing his best with the now usual trite dialogue with lots of brooding music to make it seem more meaningful than it actually is. Matt smith and david Tennant pure pantomime sh*the but blame the writers.

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
