#The Dalek Chronicles

[flightred50]

Been reading The Daleks strip for Research Purposes™️ and it's just reminded me how much I love this silly little creature

[intuitive-revelations]

Doing some research for a sequel to my Gallifrey maps, focusing on Skaro instead and I think I noticed something.

So Skaro has been shown with two distinctly different colourations over the series, a deep red:

And a more Earth-like, nuanced grey-ish planet:

This could be due to whatever happened with the destruction of Skaro, the Time War, Antalin etc, but the colours seem consistent before and after the destruction...

While the timeline of the Daleks is very unclear, this seems to have happened shortly after the Daleks' creation, rather than simply been an effect of the Kaled-Thal war as might otherwise be assumed, with the exception of TMA/TWF being a restored 'cleaned-up' Skaro based on how much safer the outside seems. It could still be a long-term effect of the neutron bomb fallout, but I think we can be a bit more specific.

I think the reddening was a gradual effect that slowly overtook the planet. This goes all the way back to Terry Nation's Dalek Chronicles (even here, Skaro's depiction varies quite a bit).

First of all, there's literally a body of water on the planet called "the Sea of Rust". This can be seen in the "Dalography" map in The Dalek Book, but also much more recently in Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe, which features the same map:

Given that rust is exactly what gives Mars its own reddish hue, this sea would seem to be the epicentre, and gives us a realistic mechanism for the change.

But why is this the case? And how does it spread over the entire planet?

The answer comes in Plague of Death, a TVC21 story. The test of a "Dalatomic" weapon results in the creation of a radioactive rust cloud that spreads like a disease (possibly literally as germs?), carried by wind currents across the landscape.

Though the Daleks successfully subdue the cloud, small fragments continue to spread.

The rusted dalekanium does not seem to be infectious in and of itself, meaning the disease does not spreadly directly from Dalek to Dalek. Instead the black Dalek seems to show immunity, but acts as a carrier for the plague.

By the end of the events, the Dalek Emperor seems to believe the disease can be prevented from effecting Daleks in the future. I suspect this relates somehow to developments in dalekanium alloys, given the lack of much effect on the black Dalek.

We know that when Dalek Sec recieved his black casing, it consisted of a type of black metalert (an alloy of Dalekanium), so it wouldn't be surprising if the black Dalek in the story had this too - presumably after the advancements "Zeg" made in a previous TVC21 story. I expect all future Dalek casings were altered to include whatever material it was that protected him - perhaps Flidor gold or Arkelis sap, both of which we know was infused into Dalek casings.

I also think it's possible the static electricity of the Dalek city helped to protect its infrastructure, given how electrolysis can be can be used to remove rust.

So we know the Daleks survive the rust plague, but what about the rest of the planet?

Given the durability of the plague even after the Daleks believe they had surpressed it, fragments likely survived. During the events, a gale is said to be blowing East to South-East. While the rust plague that would have hit the city is stopped, I suspect there was some that missed it and kept blowing in that direction, which would lead it right into the Sea of Rust.

It settles here and begins to spread. Eventually, it spreads over the whole planet, possibly distributed by volcanic activity from the Island of Gushing Gold, turning metals in the surface a deep red and killing off much of the population of metal-based creatures like magnedons. I think we might even have met a victim of the plague way back in The Dead Planet:

As to what happens then... who knows? Maybe, if it really was a germ, then it dies out. Or maybe it mutates to become less harmful, or to consume something else. Whatever happens, Davros's Daleks seemingly end up taking care not to reintroduce it when they rebuild.

[seaweedstarshine]

“That’s a bold choice, Dalek Supreme, coming to a wedding planet dressed in white! Unless you’re here to get hitched… should I be flattered?”

“We are here to exterminate you.”

“Oh, that’s probably for the best. Not sure River would be up for a marriage à trois… not with a Dalek, at any rate.”

—Eleventh Doctor Chronicles: Victory of the Doctor

[gallifreyanhotfive]

The Eleventh Doctor Chronicles on Big Finish doing it like no one else. Finally got around to listening to catching up (didn't want Valarie to leave lmao)! SPOILERS BELOW

Like never have I seen Eleven's darkness so thoroughly explored? Never have I seen there be so many consequences to his actions? And it's all so wonderfully written - especially Valarie.

And this new part, the Victory of the Doctor, is one of my favorites. I have never heard Eleven sound so desperate in the face of the Daleks trying to restart the Time War. The panic he feels gave me a physical reaction, and all the "don't make me" and "I can't do this again" and "I don't want to be a warrior again" (paraphrased from memory) just crushed my soul.

Big Finish has done it again. Please listen! These are some of my favorite but also horrifying audios.

And then he decided to kill the Daleks, to exterminate them all. Like, sorry Eleven, you might not have wanted to be the Warrior again - but you kind of are

Dragon In Chief

When the dragon is more dangerous than the main antagonist.

The Dragon-in-Chief is a version of The Dragon who serves as the de facto Big Bad of the story, even if they're technically not at the top of the bad guy hierarchy. They're nominally subordinate or in service to another villain, but typically so much smarter, stronger or more skillful, and just as evil if not more so (and almost always scarier) that it's clear who's really the biggest threat in the story.

The supposed main villain, for their part, overestimate The Dragon's loyalty or are too afraid to keep them in line. It could also be that the Big Bad is more of a puppet king being manipulated by subordinates, and the Dragon finds this set-up preferable to taking charge personally.

Examples:

Games of Thrones: Lord Tywin Lannister serves as the Dragon-in-chief to his grandson, the incompetent teenaged fool of a King Joffrey Baratheon, who he is technically only the Hand to, and not even that until Season 3. Perhaps best exemplified by the Season 3 finale in which Joffrey claims that it was his father who won the war while Tywin "hid under Casterly Rock!" In response to this challenge, Tywin just sends Joffrey a death glare, which Joffrey quickly buckles under after a just few seconds of attempting to keep eye contact.

Doctor Who: In the episodes The Stolen Earth/Journey's End, Davros is little more than a "pet" for the Supreme Dalek, but it's his plan for the Reality Bomb his creations are following. Also, Dalek Caan needed him to recreate his species. All of this, combined with his personal enmity with the Doctor, makes Davros effectively the face of the Dalek threat.

Resident Evil The Umbrella Chronicles: Sergei Vladimir is the de facto Big Bad, carrying out Ozwell Spencer's orders for him. When Sergei dies, Spencer is left with no allies and no support, and in the following game, is killed by Albert Wesker.

Dragon Ball: In the Red Ribbon Army Arc, there is Officer Black, who is much more competent and threatening and has more morals than Commander Red. When he finds out how petty the wish Red planned with Dragon Balls was —making himself taller—he kills him.

Rio: Nigel to Marcil. While his owner Marcel still drives the plot to some degree, Nigel is the more direct threat and far more menacing and evil than Marcel, while also serving as the lynchpin for Marcel's entire plan.

Avatar (2009): Though Parker Selfridge is the nominal leader of the human forces, the main antagonist of the film is Colonel Quaritch, who runs his mercenary army exactly how he wants to and ultimately becomes the real power in the operation and it's clear they both know it. About the only things that keep Selfridge in place are the fact that he's paying, and that Quaritch can't be bothered with the administrative details.

Alice in Wonderland (2010): The Jabberwocky (which, for bonus points, just so happens to resemble a dragon) is by far the bigger threat compared to his mistress the Red Queen, given that Alice's goal is to slay it and as soon as she does, all of the Red Queen's followers abandon her and she's quickly banished.

Kim Possible: Shego (mostly) helps Drakken carry out his schemes rather than invent and execute any of her own. But we know she has the power to completely overthrow Drakken if she wants to. The only thing that stops her fulfilling all the criteria is that for most of the series, she lacks the ambition to become a bigger treat. Drakken is actually more scientifically savvy than Shego — she just has a lot more common sense and can actually fight on a near-equal level with Kim.

Challenge request!

Tell me the most CHARACTER DEFINING episodes of Doctor Who... For EVERY COMPANION. 1963 - 2024.

OK, so I worry this list will not satisfy you. It's been over a decade since I've done a full Doctor Who watch through, so there's a lot of companions I haven't seen in a long time. Some of these choices, as a result, will be a bit vibes based.

I was going to do some justification write-up on some, but I'm looking at a list of like 60 names (and that's after I omitted the 10th Doctor Specials companions since they're all only one episode). Feel free to ask me about any specific choices.

This will be TV Companions (counting plot-important Webisodes as TV, but most of those are just regular TV companions anyway), but I do reserve the right to have an audio adventure as the chosen episode (in one case, it's a Companion Chronicle). I am also including spin-off shows.

List under the cut

Susan Foreman - The Dalek Invasion of Earth (Maybe The Empire of Death if the theories are right, lol) Barbara Wright - The Romans Ian Chesterton - The Daleks Vicki Pallister - The Rescue Steven Taylor - The Celestial Toymaker Katarina - The Daleks' Master Plan Sara Kingdom - The Daleks' Master Plan Dodo Chaplet - The Gunfighters Polly - The Power of the Daleks Ben Jackson - The War Machines Jamie McCrimmon - The Mind Robber Victoria Waterfield - The Tomb of the Cybermen Zoe Heriot - The Mind Robber Liz Shaw - Inferno Jo Grant - The Death of the Doctor Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart - Spearhead from Space Sergeant John Benton - Invasion of the Dinosaurs Captain Mike Yates - The Dæmons Sarah Jane Smith - The Monster of Peladon Harry Sullivan - The Ark in Space Leela - The Talons of Weng-Chiang K9 - School Reunion Romana I - The Androids of Tara Romana II - Destiny of the Daleks Adric - Earthshock Nyssa - Castrovalva Tegan Jovanka - Time-Flight Vislor Turlough - Planet of Fire Kamelion - The King's Demons Peri Brown - Peri and the Piscon Paradox Mel Bush - The One Doctor Ace - A Death in the Family Grace Holloway - Doctor Who: The Movie (Mentioned in Night of the Doctor counts, so...) Charley Pollard - The Chimes of Midnight C'rizz - Creed of the Kromon Lucie Bleedin' Miller - Lucie Miller Tamsin Drew - Situation Vacant Molly "Dark Eyes" O'Sullivan - Dark Eyes 1 Rose Tyler - Journey's End Adam Mitchell - The Long Game Mickey Smith - The Age of Steel Donna Noble - The Fires of Pompeii Martha Jones - Last of the Time Lords Captain Jack Harkness - Captain Jack Harkness Wilfred Mott - The End of Time Amy Pond - The Beast Below Rory Williams - Dinosaurs on a Spaceship River Song - The Husbands of River Song Craig Owens - Closing Time Clara Oswald - The Magician's Apprentice Nardole - The Doctor Falls Bill Potts - World Enough and Time Missy - The Doctor Falls Graham O'Brien - The Woman Who Fell to Earth Ryan Sinclair - Spyfall Yasmin Khan - Survivors of the Flux Dan Lewis - Legend of the Sea Devils Ruby Sunday - 73 Yards (So Far)

This list is probably bad

[intuitive-revelations]

Throwback to this bit of continuity. By accident, I only just discovered the concept of Dalek immortality itself goes back to David Whittaker and Terry Nations "The Dalek World" - the second Dalek annual, from 1965:

I mean... ok it's not a perfect match per say, given that Missy explicitly says the Daleks do age, but that's basically just semantics. And besides, the Know Your Enemy info is clearly quite incomplete, being written presumably by humans either in the 1960s, or sometime between the TV21 'present day' and the 22nd Century Dalek Invasion, depending on how it's interpeted.

Anyway, the lack of death due to natural causes, by comparison, is pretty consistent.

Doctor Who: Revolution of the Daleks / The Witch’s Familiar | Dalek Immortality

“Even the recon scout Daleks, the first ones out of Skaro. Humanity bands together, vanquishes you, and buries you for centuries.“ “YET I SURVIVED.” “Yeah… you’re good at that. But it won’t be enough.”

[genderqueerpond]

like, my problem with series 7 is that in an ideal world it would have been at least three seasons

hear me out

there should have been a full season beginning with Asylum of the Daleks and ending with A Town Called Mercy, depicting the doctor picking up and dropping off Amy and Rory multiple times, and at one point just Amy, tying in with really addressing the Ponds failed-divorce arc. In fact I wouldn't mind would love if this was two seasons. Also maybe seed in the Great Intelligence once or twice, so the threat level of that guy doesn't come out of absolutely nowhere when it finally gets resolved. This doesn't necessarily have to start yet, though.

Because then, of course, the year of the slow invasion should have been a season in and of itself. That opening montage is a great season opener, then set the stage with the cubes, and end the first episode with the Doctor running out in a fit of boredom and frustration, followed by a half season of eleven knocking about on his own (kinda like ten's post-s4 specials: throw River in one to keep the familiar faces, hint at the Tally/the Shakri/Power of Three's Great Big Bad in a way that will feel face-slappingly obvious but only in retrospect, and maybe seed in the Great Intelligence as a proper threat for the first or second time-- could even have another Clara fragment although idk if I'd personally want that).

mid-season Christmas Special is also totally unrelated until the end when it contains That Scene from Power of Three....

then in the second half, the Doctor comes back for the Ponds, and we have half a season of their Anniversary Day Adventures, penultimately ending with them returning to the anniversary party, the confrontation with Brian, and the Doctor staying.

Then the final episode -- or probably final two parter -- begins by showing them all living together, then resolves the slow invasion plotline, giving proper time for the magnitude of a beyond-the-universe, stuff-of-time-lord-legend baddie...

And then, and only THEN, a half season of adventures for the Ponds on their last time out in the TARDIS (of course they don't know that), culminating in TATM and followed by the Snowmen.

At this point, I could accept season 7B as it is, although, if we're really going for ideal world, I'd put another half season of eleven knocking around on his own; looking for the Impossible Girl, and building up the Great Intelligence threat, followed by a full season of eleven and Clara.

There. Ideal total of 5 seasons, and we haven't even talked about the gap between the S7 conclusion and the 50th special (another full season) or all the missing time in season 6B (an elevenriver centric season between 6A and 6B; a whole lot more trio adventures between Night Terrors and the God Complex; and then, of course, at least 200 years of sad eleven on his own (but that pretty much has to be extended universe content) ) or the full season that should exist between s5 and s6, implied at by the specials.... or how much I personally want 10x more of s5 even if it is admittedly pretty tight as it is.... or, in the other direction again, the entire 10+ season long Big Finish range, the Trenzalore Chronicles (give it to me PLEASE).....

And like, I know that this could never have happened because of the scale and commitment involved, and I'm genuinely we got what we did. But 7A is like.... a highlight reel, just enough to communicate that there was this vast sprawling expanse of time.... and I prefer that to cutting the arc short, but I wish we'd gotten to see the show that those handful of episodes did so much to imply the existence of.

[adventure-showdown]

What has been nominated so far

Note, just because something has been nominated, and so is listed here, does not mean it will be included, I will include the absolute most I can but if I can't find it on TARDIS wiki its not getting in because i can't verify its a piece of who media

Also note, there might be some mistakes on here, I'm copying the nominations across directly, there might be some stories that are listed twice without me realising, because of alternate titles, or I just didn't spot it, or stuff that was spelt wrong when it was nominated, feel free to tell me

I've done my best to spot when nominations of a series were intended to enter the individual parts rather than the series as a unit, if I've got this wrong let me know and I will fix it. (if a story is on one line its currently being considered as a unit)

Final note, a couple of things got nominated under multiple mediums, usually full length TV story and minisode, so if you can't find your nomination, maybe check one of the other mediums

You can make further nominations here, there are basically no limits so long as its set in the Whoniverse (or its about Doctor Who, eg An Adventure in Space and Time or The 5 (ish) Doctors Reboot)

the list is under the cut (I will endeavour to keep it up to date)

[blazing-dynamo]

I spent the night making a Listening Guide for the 8th Doctor for my partner, and figured I would share. I made it as a checklist in iOS. The numbers/abbreviations are connected to my Plex Audiobook server so might not line up with the names/numbering of the official releases.

8th Doctor Order

Charley Era

Charley Era Bonus content:

Charley is a fan favorite so she has a whole bunch of side content compared to the other eras.

Eighth Doctor Adventures

- [ ] CPFA1.01 The Mummy Speaks

- [ ] CPFA1.02 Eclipse

- [ ] CPFA1.03 The Slaying of the Writhing Mass

- [ ] CPFA1.04 Heart of Orion

- [ ] 8DA1.00 Living Legend

These are Charley stories made after the end of Charley’s era. Charlotte Pollard the Further Adventuress is brand new. Living Legend was like a year after she left (don’t fact check me)

Main Range

- [ ] 111 - The Doomwood Curse

- [ ] 114 - Brotherhood of the Daleks

- [ ] 116 - The Raincloud Man

- [ ] 124 - Patient Zero

- [ ] 125 - Paper Cuts

- [ ] 126 - Blue Forgotten Planet

This resolves the charley cliffhanger. She travels with the Sixth Doctor for some timey wimey further pissing off of the web of time. If you still don’t have enough Charley she has her own series that follows after her adventures with Sixie.

Main Range

- [ ] 123 - The Company of Friends

- [ ] 153 - The Silver Turk

- [ ] 154 - The Witch from the Well

- [ ] 155 - Army of Death

Eighth doctor in the main range without Charley. 123 is with his comic/book companions. The others are the Mary Shelly companion stories! Fun fact he mentions these travels as just happening in Storm Warning so they are a direct prequel.

One offs

Liv and Helen Era

Yes technically this was the Molly era but she got too famous between dark eyes part 1 and 2 so it’s really Liv’s Era, and Helen joins soon after. This era is a string of box sets so basically just Dark Eyes >Doom Coalition >Ravenous > Stranded, but what follows is a checklist so you can keep track.

Eighth Doctor Adventures

Dark Eyes

- [ ] 1.1 The Great War

- [ ] 1.2 Fugutives

- [ ] 1.3 Tangled Web

- [ ] 2.3 Time’s Horizon (Hello Liv!)

- [ ] 2.4 Eyes of the Master

- [ ] 3.1 The Death of Hope

- [ ] 3.2 The Reviled

- [ ] 3.3 Masterplan

- [ ] 3.4 Rule of the Eminence

- [ ] 4.1 A Life in the Day

- [ ] 4.2 The Monster of Monmarte

- [ ] 4.3 Master of the Daleks

- [ ] 4.4 Eye of Darkness

- [ ] 3.3 LEGEND

- [ ] 3.4 The Odds Against

- [ ] 4.1 Whisper

- [ ] 4.2 Planet of Dust

- [ ] 4.3 Day of the Master 1

- [ ] 4.4 Day of the Master 2

I highly recommend skipping to the Bliss Era before Companion Piece. They were released simultaneously and have a crossover in companion piece and it makes it better. But you could always “Spoilers sweetie” and find it out later.

- [ ] 1.2 Wild Animals

- [ ] 1.3 Must-See TV

- [ ] 1.4 Divine Intervention

- [ ] 3.4 What Just Happened

- [ ] 4.1 Crossed Lines

- [ ] 4.2 Get Andy

- [ ] 4.3 The Keys of Baker Street

- [ ] 4.4 Best Year Ever

Liv and Helen continue into What Lies Inside and Connections, but I don’t have it yet so I don’t know the episode names.

Liv Era Bonus Content

Main Range

- [ ] 149. Robophobia

Liv was actually an almost-companion for the 7th doctor. She told him no, and kicked herself until the 8th Doctor showed back up.

Liv’s Spin off. Takes place during Ravenous 2 when the doctor has to leave her for a year. I haven’t listened yet so I don’t know the titles but there are 6 seasons of 3 episodes

Ninth Doctor Adventures

- [ ] 2.3 Hidden Depths

Crossover with the Ninth Doctor Range.

Short Trips

- [ ] 7.1 The World Beyond the Trees

Bliss Era

Aka the Time War! Can technically be listened to whenever because it doesn’t directly reference things but it’s best after Doom Coalition, but Before Ravenous.
