July 7th, 2012 - 10:21pmI think he used an emergency temporal shift and got out or the escape pod again.
booboo
July 7th, 2012 - 11:43amAlthough likely its not confirmed at all, the BBC never finalise broadcast dates and times this early.
Nothing is confirmed until the BBC release an official schedule

Give me a Dalek any day
July 6th, 2012 - 6:05pmThat’s a very good theory. 🙂 I like it! 🙂
The 14th Doctor
July 6th, 2012 - 1:46pmHow about this theory: The Paradigm Daleks by this time have become stronger and more powerful than ever, but people across the universe have risen against them and they are locked in a brutal war against the whole universe.
They decide that they need reinforcements so journey to a planet that houses a huge tomb of Daleks. The tomb served as an asylum for the Daleks during the time war (hence the title) and inside the tomb is every form of Dalek ever to have lived. The Paradigm Daleks wake the Daleks from the tomb up and expect them to obey them. However they do not. The old 60’s Daleks obey them, as they are also pure, but the Bronze Grey and Imperial Daleks instantly turn against them, and a Dalek civil war breaks out.
The Doctor initially tries to stop the tomb from being opened, but when he fails he quickly leaves the Daleks to their civil war. This civil war will be raging on into future Dalek episodes, which gives the team the chance to use any sort of Daleks they want in the future. (I have a feeling they might want to sneakily stop using the Paradigms)
(At some point I’d love Davros back. As long as they don’t put him in a Paradigm chair, I’ll be happy.)

July 2nd, 2012 - 5:15amNot necessarily, if Moffat wrote it well enough, it could be in one episode. The problem is, with Moffat, you never know if it’s really good with dramatic performances, or if it’s just part of a big sitcom spreading through time and space.

July 2nd, 2012 - 5:10amWho knows? Could be, might not be, you never know with Davros…
Stormageddon
July 1st, 2012 - 8:48pmDid he die in JE ????
McGann is the Doctor.
July 1st, 2012 - 6:54pmIt must be like a prison of all these old Daleks.
I thought it might be called “Tomb of the Daleks”.
McGann is the Doctor.
July 1st, 2012 - 6:53pmHm, that’s not too bad a theory.
How do you think they will have him come back, will there even need to be any reference to his death in Journey’s End ? ❓
doctor who
July 1st, 2012 - 3:32pmi think this episode will be part of the story arc this year and this episode will connect to the doctor returning to the shadows as the daleks may not recognise him after death at lake silencio and i think it could connect to the bigger story arc of the first question and the silence.maybe the daleks in this story are to do with the story arc and this could build up to the series final and bring davros back.
Boodleoo
June 30th, 2012 - 9:21pmI think this episode will be a great opener like the impossible astronaut, but I don’t think the Doctor will win. I think he’ll just escape leaving the Daleks to carry on recreating an army until they return in a later episode in the series. Or I think judging by the title these Daleks might be crazy so maybe they are Daleks who have shown emotion or who have malfunctioned and so were imprisoned there but that would be a bit of a short story.

The Spaceman
June 30th, 2012 - 6:34pmThat would be good but it’s only one episode it it was that ti would probably be a 2 parter.
Dalek Sec
June 30th, 2012 - 9:52amEvery Dalek on Doctor Who? Moffat, you better not disappoint me.
ParadigmDalek
June 30th, 2012 - 5:45amAt least, that’s my theory
ParadigmDalek
June 30th, 2012 - 5:45amHm, the Daleks made secret bunkers on worlds they conquered, hidden from all other creatures. These bunkers contained Daleks, so if the Daleks ever died out, ther would be a signal transmitting from every Dalek’s casing, and when all the signals stopped transmitting, the bunker would release an army of Daleks, and as the Daleks improved on themselves, they would add newer, more updated Daleks, and just leave the old ones there. And when the Progenitor malfunctions and stops making Daleks, they go to one of these bunkers to awaken an army, but little do they know, Davros is already there, with plans to make his own army of Daleks…
ParadigmDalek
June 30th, 2012 - 5:40amI’m hoping to see the Daleks as two unified armies, Paradigm/Renegade/60’s Daleks vs Imperial/bronze Daleks, with the white Supreme Dalek and Davros as the leaders.
the funky whovian
June 29th, 2012 - 10:44amIve just been thinking about the series 7 trailer. when the doctor says “give me a dalek any day” hes in his stetson thus making that scene from ep 3. Does this mean that the doctor doesnt have too much of a hard time getting rid of the daleks if he would prefer them to the reckoner? Just a thought…
Dalek of Doom
June 27th, 2012 - 10:07pmIf I was Moffat I would have left Daleks till 50th!
