DAVROS' MUM WAS A DALEK (& Other Doctor Who Facts)

Hell, K9 might've been able to fly up and find the 456's ship... Though the SJA crew against the government is... Actually not too different to their own season 3 finale. Just scaled down a hell of a lot.

Also, the Davros part reminded me how basically every story to reference the events of _Genesis of the Daleks_ acts as if the Doctor didn’t cross the wires and forgets the Dalek ran them over anyway.

What I've learned from Broke Canon is don't give the master an audio device

[@themetaphysicalgentleman]

Maybe Gwen's connection to the Fendahl protected her in Chernobyl?? Also I've been reading the Faction Paradox novel The Book of the War and have found some pretty wild things in it: According to it, the English poet Percy Shelley wrote a poem that included a mention of the Gallifreyan House Dvora, Lord Byron and Ada Lovelace were Faction Paradox members, and John Polidori was inspired by the Great Vampire War of ancient Gallifrey to write The Vampyre, prior to his being murdered by a creature as part of the War in Heaven. Which, given Mary Shelley was already obviously an Eighth Doctor companion, just makes The Haunting of Villa Diodati even weirder. Anastasia Romanov was also a member of Faction Paradox, and was apparently pretty ruthless. She rose in rank until she eventually led a revolt (after possibly killing an Eldritch entity with her bare hands and a club) and established the Thirteen Day Republic in a ghost version of the Winter Palace where she slowly went insane before eventually being defeated by the Faction not long after Rasputin's death (he was also a Faction Paradox member); after which she was placed back into linear time in a three-fold manner, living out three seperate lives during which she was always seen as an impostor and not the real Anastasia. Faction Hollywood (a spinoff branch of Faction Paradox) did rituals involving snorting cocaine circles, made p*rn films to fight the War in Heaven, and would do deals with famous actors to increase the size of their schlongs. They're also responsible for Orson Welles, Marlon Brando, and several other people's careers going the route they did. They also had the ability to create these things called Hollow Spectaculars where they'd basically override a viewer's perception of a movie, causing them to watch an altered version of that movie that was far worse than the actual version. But then they were pretty much defeated by Seventh Doctor companion Cwej in his second body. Also there's a shop that sells Faction Paradox style clothes in the Whoniverse, and it's called Fashion Paradox. Not particularly crazy, but sort of ridiculous. Additionally Romana is related to Morbius, as they're both from House Dvora; and the founder of Faction Paradox might have been reincarnated as a cat and fought a cat version of the War in Heaven in Florida. Apparently there's a group called the Collective of the Retconning Crocodiles that has interacted with Faction Paradox on occasion, but is actually originally the Faction Paradox of the Disney Duckverse, meaning that Scrooge McDuck is weirdly canonical. Finally, the Enemy in the War of Heaven might actually be the Voord, Spiders from Metabelis 3, the Doctor, Mammoths, the writers of Faction Paradox themselves, or a whale king. (On a completely seperate note, there's also an album called The Ballads of Sergeant Benton wherein the original actor for this Third Doctor companion sings cover songs as Benton.)

[@Chubby_Bub]

At this point, everything has Faction Paradox behind it. I’m not too familiar with it but I find it a little amusing that two members of the Faction are Kelsey Hooper, the little girl from the first episode of SJA, and the parallel timeline Amy Pond from The Girl Who Waited.

[@VitasVarnas]

With how Miracle Day doesn't seem to affect other events or be referenced, I just think of that scene in Pyramids of Mars where they decide to leave Sutekh and travel to 1980 only to find the Earth a thundering wasteland. As time is always in flux where due to a specific action or having yet performed that intended action, certain events may or may not occur yet or change completely.

Miracle Day could theoretically take place in 2012, due to the whole Aliens Of London dating controversy, the same with series 5 of SJA. All of Russell's Who, including his spin-offs are effected by that 12 months not 12 hours thing.

[@SamyulDavis]

That gets reset around the S5 cracks in time / big bang reboot I believe

[@toast99bubbles]

@@SamyulDavis I know series 5's timeline is more specific, with The Eleventh Hour mostly happening in 2008 (so prior to the finale of series 4) and Amy leaving in 2010, but Miracle Day is meant to still follow the timeline of Russell's era due to the amount of time passing between each series of Torchwood. However, I am aware the comics and novels also don't seem to be aware that Torchwood is set 1 year ahead of the present day, leading to things with Gwen and Ianto happening prior to Torchwood One's fall (mostly important because Ianto is part of Torchwood Three when Gwen first encounters them, but Ianto didn't join Torchwood Three until after Torchwood One fell). It's like Russell's UNIT dating controversy. Moffat also had his own too, with The Power Of Three being set in 2013 and also 2020. There must have been some kind of Matrix glitch screwing with the years 2005-2020ish, or the Accord have been dealing with other problems like in the 60s-90s.

[@nightowl8477]

The show catches up with itself in The Waters of Mars, it's all present day from then on :)

[@toast99bubbles]

@@nightowl8477 The Waters Of Mars was set quite further in the future, but it does confirm Journey's End takes place no earlier than May 2009, and after that The End Of Time doesn't specifically state the year, from what I can remember, but I could be wrong. If The End Of Time is 2009, Donna got engaged again pretty quickly (not that it's the first or even second time that's happened with her though). Also, The Doctor, The Widow And The Wardrobe adds another dating issue, with it being set in at least 2014, which is what leads to The Power Of Three kinda being 2019/20, as well as containing Amy and Rory's covid restriction breaking trip to Wales in The Hungry Earth.

Wasn't Calcula mutated because she caught a spy in Davros' laboratory, sealed the room and then activated one of his latest experiments; thus causing the mutative effects? Although she was quite crazy in terms of going to extreme lengths like murdering Yarvel and setting off a bomb to kill her husband, she never really went 'insane' and did everything with cold, ruthless calculation.

Pretty sure what you described about Davro's mum wasn't accurate, cos I listened to I Davros recently. She did kill her hubby and his sister, and she killed Yarvel cos Yarvel essentially sold Davros out to the Thals in a mission he had. But she didn't deliberately become a Dalek. She was confronted by a Thal sympathiser who was going to kill her in Davro's office, and she exposed a radiation leak from one of his experiments which killed them both, and Davros being Davros decided to experiment on his mothers dying body. Bit of a nit pick I know.
