Howling:The VotDaleks "revalation"

Apologies for not signing: first time user. I too would be disappointed with a sleeper agent dalek android story; however, it makes a lot more sense to me than the falling through time/ universal reset theories postulated thus far. So what if she's in the next season... have you considered this may be a late reveal? ;-)87.112.255.36 20:42, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

I realise "revalation" isn't spelt right :P

Did anyone else have one? SM said it'd be so mind blowing you'd need to watch the episode again, but I got nothing... Cannon881 18:38, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

I got nothing either -- Michael Downey 18:39, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

I re-watched the episode from 25 min to 35 min and the only thing that standed out was when the Daleks said that the planet would 'Shatter' when the bomb in bracewell detonated. I find that as an odd word to use for that quite of sentence and it kind of goes with the whole 'Time being weird arc' over the series and with the Cracks. So why would the planet 'Shatter' and not for example just be blown up. -- Michael Downey 19:43, April 17, 2010 (UTC).

Amy is a dalek created android, a la Harrison Ford's character in 'Blade Runner': she has memories implated by the Daleks, but not of the Daleks themselves, as this may cause her to alert the Doctor. That was my revelation, anyway!

Please sign your posts, and I don't think Amy is an android because she has been confirmed to be in Series 6 and if she is an android well then I'll be disappointed because that is a poor plot in my opinion. -- Michael Downey 20:33, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe we need to see some more episodes, before we understand?Excalibur-117 20:40, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

When amy begins to talk to the proffessor who is about to explode, she calls him 'Pastly' and not his name. THis is half an hour in, and if we rewatch it, we may find out that a person called pastly is who the proffessor's memories are from. tommy1571 21:46, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

No she was calling him paisley and she had been calling him this since the start of the episode. What this means I'm not sure but I think it's just a silly nickname or a scottish thing because they are both scottish. -- Michael Downey 20:56, April 17, 2010 (UTC).

It's a town in scotland, which is where he's meant to be from. Incidently, David Tennant hails from Paisley. Excalibur-117 21:00, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

I think the Doctor is aware that Amy is a sleeper android created by the daleks and is using their travels through time to humanise her, in much the same way that they humanised the proffessor. I believe that, at some point, Amy will (knowingly or not) betray the doctor to the daleks.RUMyMommy? 21:15, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

First they thought she was alien, now they think she's an android. How long till people start thinking she's the Rani? There are cracks in the skin of the universe, a very potential cause of timeline disruption, who's to say her forgetting isn't part of the cracks theory? Excalibur-117 21:20, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Totally agree with Excalibur, I think with time being disrupted will make her forget the Daleks but like I said before if it does turn out tnat Amy is an android made by the Daleks then I will be upset because that is a poor plot. -- Michael Downey 21:23, April 17, 2010 (UTC).

While I agree android Amy would be a poor plot point, the 'cracks in the universe reset' theory has been done to death during the RTD era: as the year that never was from Last of the Time Lords, as RTD using the Time War as a catch all for continuity holes and as the use of the reality bomb; it's all a bit Star trek XI, isn't it?!RUMyMommy? 21:33, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Apologies for the anon post, just thought I'd throw my guess in.

At the start of the episode, the crack is nowhere to be seen on the wall. At the end of the episode - it clearly is. I assumed that was the 'revelation'. - Unsigned idiot

Why does Amy being in the next season prove she's not a Dalek android, or anything else? The Doctor has traveled in the past with an android programmed by bad guys, Kamelion, and with someone suspected (correctly) to be an agent of someone bad, Turlough. In SJA, Mr Smith was a sleeper agent, and yet he's still Sarah Jane's computer.

That being said, they just did the thing with redeeming the bad guys' android sleeper with Robot Professor in this episode, so it would be a pretty dull surprise if the Amy story were the exact same story. More likely, Amy doesn't remember the Daleks because in her home timeline, Journey's End never happened, which ties in somehow to Rory's badge having the wrong decade, the voting booth giving two different ages for her, and of course the cracks. Yeah, it's been done before, but Moffat has talked about wanting Doctor Who to actually deal with time travel in a way that it rarely got a chance to in the RTD era, and I think this is what he means. --99.37.227.199 09:27, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
