User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-6032121-20190914173756/@comment-6032121-20200904114609 Right. So. COMIC: Defender of the Daleks has just made our golden boy current again, so it'd be nice if we could bring this to a resolution…

The comic seems to take place within some sort of alternative timeline, as the Daleks have no memory of the Last Great Time War having ever happened, but all the same, it does provide some interesting data. The Doctor recognises the Golden Emperor as "the Emperor of the Daleks" and isn't surprised to see him rather than a later model; and more to the point, he recognises him.

Which would be quite a trick if we don't recognise that the Dalek Prime in War of the Daleks and/or the Emperors in the DWM comics weren't the Golden Emperor, because of the currently-accepted list of appearances of the Golden Emperor, none of them involves the Doctor.
