Forum:Genesis Timeline?

In Genesis of the Daleks, the Doctor changed the timeline to stall the Dalek's progress by a thousand years. Does this render all previous Dalek episodes undone?Rotwang&#39;s Son 17:13, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * short answer: possibly. no one knows.


 * slightly longer answer: on-screen we have never had any confirmation/denial of whether or not a) history got changed by the events of "Genesis of the Daleks" or b) it got changed back.


 * even in the novels, audios, etc., have AFAIK, not really confirmed or denied this. so it remains a persistent fan theory. however both the television series (dialogue in "Rememberance of the Daleks") and various novelisations, audios, etc., do confirm that the 22nd century Dalek invasion of Earth did happen even post-"Genesis", which seems to imply that nothing got changed.


 * Russell T Davies' backstory for the Last Great Time War refers to the events of "Genesis of the Daleks" as the first action (by the Time Lords) in the Time War or what sparked the Time War anyway. but even here he hasn't confirmed/denied whether history got changed.


 * some fan theories from before the series revival at the addition of the Last Great Time War to continuation do say that, yes, history got changed. --Stardizzy2 20:47, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
