I think you're right. If the next addition to the range mega screws up the continuity (or "canon", if you're that way inclined), then we'll have to revisit this no matter what and redecide whether it's all worth it in the end haha.

From what we've discussed here, and this is just a summary so that we're all on the same page, the Daleks have entered a portal in The Phantom Zone, which is a jail outside of space-time. The portal (or rift, wormhole, vortex...) connects up to the DWU. I take it we're treating this portal as either a natural occurrence or as a man-made structure using a natural occurrence. What I mean by that is the Cardiff rift was a natural occurrence, but the "invisible door" that the Tenth Doctor creates to project through to Darlig Ulv Stranden is man-made using the natural broken barriers of reality.

This connection to the DWU via the portal, the license itself and the authorial intent of these Daleks being the Daleks [source needed] is the reason why most of us find in favour of this movie being valid? How's that for a summary? Any comments regarding this should be bringing new information to the table rather than recycling things we've already concluded.

Also, I reckon we should leave this thread open a while longer for as many people to see the movie as possible. That gives us many more eyes on the situation. And I really hope that neither came across as bossy or demanding. I'm not an admin. I have the same say in this as you guys. :D
