Geography
Could someone please cite the specific episode of The Daleks where the geography of Skaro is limited to one single continent divided into two halves? I can't seem to find it at the moment.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍ 22:10, 5 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I have looked through both my source books and a few of my early dalek serials but havn't been able to find it not that that means it hasn't been said somewhere through Dark Lord Xander 08:22, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I suppose the question really is whether it appears in The Daleks, specifically. If not, the line needs to be cut from the article. I can't recall it. And my examination of the first three episodes didn't reveal it. But it's one of those little details that sometimes defies fast forwarding. I'm thinking it might be in episode 5, which is a little wonky on my DVD. Can anyone confirm?  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍ 11:22, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * In one of the I, Davros audios I'm relatively sure it's stated (I can't say which one as I've only listened to them once and still vague on the finer details). As for the Daleks I'll have to grab my DVD at some point and give it another watch. --Tangerineduel 15:48, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I just watched The Daleks, and nothing about continents sprang to mind. Most of the stuff about geography in that serial was about the deadly lake and the petrified forest. Should we remove it? -- Tybort (talk page) 21:42, September 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Rewatched the serial. Still don't recall anything about Skaro having one continent appearing in there, so I removed it. -- -- Tybort (talk page) 18:35, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Location
Not sure if this is worth mentioning, but the infobox has the location of Skaro as one trillion miles away from Earth (not sure of the source for this), which puts it...well within the Oort Cloud of our own Solar System. Just sayin.

Skaro's destruction from Daleks in Manhattan
I recall the Daleks saying that their planet was destroyed in "a war" in Daleks in Manhattan, but did they specify which war? Even if it was the writer's intent it was the Time War, from what I remember the dialogue as-phrased could easily have referred to the Imperial-Renegade war and the Hand of Omega. -- Tybort (talk page) 21:42, September 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but the point is that it was destroyed, as of the line of Daleks that survived until Victory. Well, to be fair, the exact line is:
 * "My planet is gone, destroyed in a great war."

So we've got even less wiggle room than we'd have with just the word "destroyed". It's not just destroyed: it's actually gone. And we can trace this Dalek directly through to Victory of the Daleks and the Moffat era. Literally Skaro just "comes back" in City of the Daleks, and then is shown in Asylum, but with zero explanation. So there's clear narrative discontinuity. Doesn't matter which war destroyed Skaro, in a sense. It was destroyed, and then it wasn't, but you can trace a direct narrative line from the one who said it was destroyed to the stories where Skaro is suddenly not destroyed. 04:51: Tue 07 May 2013
 * To be fair, it was never established that the Doctor was visiting a present-day Skaro in Asylum Of The Daleks. He may have simply come to it at an earlier point in its history, prior to its destruction. Ensephylon ☎  08:17, May 7, 2013 (UTC)

Skaro outside our Galaxy?
Is there any in-Universe source confirming that? Or just that we don't know such a planet in our Galaxy and therefore assume it? Our Galaxy IRL and in DW can be different (It is not called "Mutter's Spiral" IRL) Movsar talk to me 12:06, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
