Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Asylum of the Daleks


 * If the Man at the beginning was taken over by the security system, and designed to ativate and attack intruders, what was he doing working when they arrive?
 * Similiarly, if he was there to kill intruders, why not just shoot Amy and the Doctor when there lying there, rather than mascurading as a victim, till there in the ship?
 * the doctor is a major enemy of the daleks. maybe they thought that if they lure the doctor into the ship with the other converted people they would have a greater chance of killing him.


 * Daleks are shown having survived from "The Chase, The Daleks Master Plan, and Planet of the Daleks," but in those stories (and Death to the Daleks), no daleks actually survived (who interacted with the doctor anyway.)
 * Its stated all the Daleks in intensive care, are from old stories (mentioned in the point above) but there all modern daleks.
 * If Oswin couldn't open a simple door, how did she so quickly delete all the memories of the Daleks greatest foe, who there all programed to kill.
 * one explanation is that the daleks memory is just simple code which could be deleted while to open a door she would have to find the code and wipe the part that closes it and write in more to open it, taking longer and being harder to do given the amount of doors on the planet.

Most of them move slow and seem to lack means of surveillance so they couldn't find them in the asylum.
 * Why did the daleks leave the doctor in the asylum? Even if they forgot who he was, they still kill all alien life forms, so why didn't they kill him.
 * The Dead crewmembers, who have taken over by the Daleks nano clouds, are seen climbing down the ladder, but after the Dalek explodes, there neither seen nor mentioned again.
 * If the doctors immnune to the nanocloud, why did the Daleks give him a protection braclet?
 * how do we know he was? it was just amy's theory.  they might have escaped before the nanobots could convert him completely.  we have yet to know if they might have done something long term to his mind in the time without the bracelet.

edit: seems like a copout when amy's says, "he doesn't need it, he's a Time Lord." Possibly because there was no need for an extra guard or one that would so obviously deter future visitors to the asylum. They could have lain there undisturbed since their death.
 * Why were all the dead crewmen just sitting neatly in there seats?
 * If Oswins such a genius, why was she working as entertainer?
 * because it's fun? Smart is the new sexy.

The voice was from an electronic source the whole time The Doctor heard it so I can hardly imagine that would be beyond a Dalek to synthesise. Because dalek energy weapons even primitive ones fitted into the ones into long term agents which simply stunned possibly require too much energy that the nanites can provide. Oswin was still trapped in her illusion as a human and believed it beyond her capability.
 * If Oswin was a dalek all along, how was her voice transmitted right until the Doctor discovered her? Or was the Doctor hearing a dalek voice the whole time?
 * Why was there a distinct lack of gunfire from the converted crewmen?
 * Oswin, seemed newly converted and perhaps carried full capabilities of a Dalek, able to break free of its chains, why couldnt it just go by itself to the teleport?
 * Skaro was destroyed in the Time War – which is to say, declared nonexistent and irretrievable – and nobody mentions this.
 * Actually no, it was Galifrey that was destroyed in the time war, the daleks planet was destroyed in "Remeberance of the Daleks"
 * Actually the doctors comments in that episode, imply the planets still simply wrecked, like a city when its hit by a atom bomb, this is confirmed by what we see in this episode.

 * Apparently there are human prison camps on Skaro, even though it is their purpose, not to enslave, but to exterminate.
 * Like the Nazi's did? The point is, why not exploit them first, they've done this before (Destiny of the Daleks) Plus they might be used for interogation.


 * Daleks are small pink creatures with one eye. The eyestalk and the weapon is simply a part of their armor, so naturally the people who've been partially converted into Daleks should not have had these things in their body.
 * It doesn't turn them into a dalek, it turns them into a slave, clearly the nanogenes, built these in them, to make them more effective slaves.


 * Daleks are obsessed with their own genetic perfection: there are had multiple episodes detailing their disgust for human impurity, to the point of committing genocide against a human-Dalek hybrid race. But according to this episode, they think it is acceptable to manipulate human corpses and putting the resultant hybrid entities in positions of command.
 * Thousands of Daleks, their entire Parliament, the ship in which they reside and the asylum planet have all apparently survived the Time War, even though this is impossible.
 * No this is the new dalek Parliament, they fact there are daleks with the new colour sceems proves this, evidently in the time they've had they've rebuilt there numbers and brought them back, plus previous stories show, only officers (or ones with special jobs) get to be coloured, the rest are just standard daleks.


 * The Doctor is called ‘the Predator of the Daleks’, a name he’s never heard before, even though he’s known in their mythology as the Oncoming Storm.
 * How is this an error? Attila the Hun was called, "the destroyer" "the abomination," "the scourge of god," etc. by the romans, there is no limit to the number of nicknames your greatest enemy can have.
