| I don't mean to complicate things further but the Daleks somehow gain the ability to Time Travel. I thought that was how they escaped their destruction -- by altering the Timeline. Unfortunately, if they can alter the Timeline once, they could also go back and alter their birth yet seem to lose that ability. They also wouldn't need to fight a war, with a race I forget now, but which involves most of the Galaxy.
I was only about 3, but there was 'The Chase' in season 2 when they use a Time machine to chase and attempt to exterminate the Doctor, and then most of season 3 devoted to an epic space opera about 'The meddling monk', also a Time Lord (only the term wasn't yet invented), and a woman called Sara Kingdom who was an agent from 4000 AD, and the Dalek's master plan to destroy the Earth using a Time Destructor. I think that these episodes would throw more light onto your query. I can't help more since I was hiding behind the sofa at the time. |
