From an IM conversation today:<\/p>\n
mknzyCalhn: I’m racking my brain here — I’m trying to think if Doctor Who has ever done a story about cloning
\nScavgraphics: new earth
\nmknzyCalhn: you’re right
\nScavgraphics: also, daleks
\nScavgraphics: aren’t the mutants clones?
\nmknzyCalhn: well, the mutants are grown in vats, but we don’t know if they’re cloned
\nmknzyCalhn: hmm, they could be, though
\nmknzyCalhn: see, the only times we see Daleks being created there’s no indication of where the mutant comes from
\nmknzyCalhn: “Power of the Daleks” simply ignores the question when the human colonists start mass-producing Daleks
\nScavgraphics: sounds like clones to me
\nmknzyCalhn: “Revelation of the Daleks” had Davros stealing people in hibernation to create Daleks
\nScavgraphics: unless theres mother unit daleks
\nmknzyCalhn: I don’t know
\nScavgraphics: preggers daleks
\nmknzyCalhn: it’s like the Trill slugs — we don’t know where they come from, either
\nmknzyCalhn: some things you just have to accept with religious ferver \ud83d\ude09
\nScavgraphics: so you’re saying that kaleds and trill worms are the same
\nmknzyCalhn: they could be, sure
\nmknzyCalhn: hmm, that’s an idea for a crossover fic
\nmknzyCalhn: the Trill homeworld is actually Skaro
\nmknzyCalhn: the Trill slugs are Dalek mutants
\nmknzyCalhn: Jadzia and Ezri are actually Thals
\nScavgraphics: in one universe, vulcans wear goatees, in another, trills wear plungers
\nmknzyCalhn: something like that \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
