Talk:The Dalek Invasion of Earth

message: It's not stated in this story how the Daleks gain their power -- they don't have the solar panels seen in The Chase onwards, and they're clearly not drawing static electricity from the floor like in The Daleks.  I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the intention was they received their power through the dishes on their backs; hence when David and Susan destroy the tower, they're left immobilised -- one of the things that Dalek screeches moments later seems to be "power loss complete!".  (However, a Dalek is seen moving shortly afterwards -- perhaps it recovered from the shock enough to use its battery backup?).  In the novelisation it stated the dishes and antenna were part of a communications network (the disruption of which confuses and immobilises them), but there's no explanation in the show for why the antenna's destruction causes them so much trouble... what do you guys think?

message: In this story it is pronounced as "Dalekenium", even coming up like that in the subtitles. Should this be addressed?

message: So the Daleks were gonna dig to the core of the earth. If they had succeeded, they would have found the ship of that spiderlike alien creature from "The Runaway Bride" which was hidden there since the earth was created. Might we wanna mention that?
Also, how is it with the continuity of history in general? This episode states the Daleks attacked earth in the 22nd Century, and that Daleks existed on Skaro one million years in the future. Does this somehow contradict any of the modern episodes? E.g. some that show London still standing after the 22nd Century with no signs of a volcano erruption, or the like? --Mithcoriel (talk) 20:22, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Big Ball of Timey Wimey stuff. Given that the daleks were wiped out/ locked in the time war it is possible that this entire timeline of the dalek invasion never comes into existance leaving the way open for the Great and Bountiful Human Empire to expand ahead of schedule. 147.188.254.124 (talk) 14:38, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Alright so in the first doctor page Edmund Warwick is listed in the sidebar as playing the first doctor in part of the dalek invasion of Earth (he was the stand in, in episode 4) so if he gets a mention in the sidebar on the page of the first doctor shouldn't he get a mention in the side bar in this article as well.

message: Numerous signs and banners reading "Vetoed" are seen around London, in the 4th episode The End of Tomorrow (I think). Could this be a reference to the fact that the application of the United Kingdom to join the European Economic Community had been vetoed by the president of France, Charles De Gaulle, in january 1963 ?
If so, would it be interesting to include this tidbit in the present article, or would it be too trivial ?
