I didn't say that we should. I just said that there's no need to purposefully keep it open until 2019. I'm in no rush to wrap up here.

No-one says (or even suggests- I'll settle for inference) that those Daleks are from the DWU, we can't make this truly valid. If we do, we'd be jumping to conclusions. This back-and-forth is getting us nowhere and is incredibly tiresome. That's not meant to be a hurtful comment, I'd expect us all to be getting run down by this tbh.

I know this is gonna make you bad, but I have to strongly disagree. We don't need an explanation of how the Daleks ended up there, because we already do have an explanation. There's a DWU LEGO world, the Phantom Zone connects to many universes. That's what the people working on this franchise have pretty clearly set up, and the idea of waiting for someone to directly say this in air quotes is preposterous.

Also I'm far less invested in this then I put on.

The most sound argument for the story being invalid is the thing about the kid in the first movie and the idea of them not being done with this. We're not likely to get any major spoilers on that, is the thing.
