I feel Skaro as a planet should be explored more than just the city. While I think it would be nice to have an episode dedicated to the inner workings of the city I would rather see more of Skaro and other dalek city’s or outposts.
One thing I like in time lord victorious is that they visit a place called to volt of obscenity’s which is a whole other thing on skaro where they keep there most powerful weapons and other things
I had always believed that the Daleks on Skaro during The Daleks had actually become accustomed to radiation and that they needed it, much like oxygen, to survive. When Susan gives them the Thal's anti radiation drug, the Daleks that test it die and the Daleks surmise that they need radiation, thus deciding to exhaust all their radioactive gas into Skaro's atmosphere.
just a side note I really like the black and white filter on the magicians apprentice/the witch's familiar clips, makes me really want a new dalek episode filmed like that, maybe a doctor-less episode structured like the black mirror episode Metalhead
My theory as to why the daleks "devolved" is to conserve power; if they could just use the minimal amount of power they get from siphoning it through the floor, the energy needed to recharge their power cells could be reallocated elsewhere, since they were gonna be stuck there a while.
1:50 Didn't the Daleks discover they were dependent on radiation to survive? I remember watching that episode and seeing a Dalek that was given an anti-radiation drug dying and calling for help, giving its observers that epiphany.
Just a gaint building in the shape of a Dalek, It appeared in Asylum of the Daleks. The 7th Doctor Big finish audio We are the Daleks sort of loosely alludes to how this building came to be.
I actually didn’t think that the Dalek city city’s were at all connected as I just viewed them as all bases that the Daleks constructed all over Skaro and potentially over worlds.
the daleks had lots of citys on skaro but kaalann was the main city shown in the daleks 1963 and series 9, and its mentioned in a few other things too like audios and comics
Its funny that the plot of season 2 of the 100 lifts quite a bit from "the daleks" entities trapped in a bunker scheming to return to the ground at any cost , even the radiation drug is vaguely similar to the bone marrow transplant in the 100
i love the scenes in the 1st Dalek adventure episode 1 - when they are exploring the city before the initial appearance of the Daleks - supported by an incredible electronic noise soundtrack which, together with the great sets, just makes the whole sequence so atmospheric & sinister - everything is Dalek shaped & Dalek sized but we haven't seen one - yet 🫣
New dalek paradigm era - a.k.a Under-5 Fisher price playset dalek era. I'm assuming city was ultimately rebuilt in soft plastic injection moulded bright colours and velvet plush trimmings.
I understand why you didn't but it would've been cool to see the alternate timeline brought about in the City of the Daleks game when they got their hands on an Eye of Harmony (or whatever it was). It was cool to explore the city in both of those timelines.
Idk why but I want the Daleks to turn Skaro into a weaponised world city that moves around the universe - the ultimate sign of Dalek supremacy......so basically the Death Star 😂
The Dalek city is the best part of Dalek history in my opinion, I wish we could see more of that city in fan made Dalek culture
The Dalek City should be explored more, it’s like the heart of everything the Doctor is afraid of the universe becoming.
My favourite version of Kalaann has to be the Paradigm Dalek version from City of the Daleks.

This video is well awesome in billions of ways

This is the theory that makes the most sense to me

3:18 what was up with the giant Dalek?

The Statue of Pugery
My favourite dalek city is the one that appeared in time lord victorious as I think it was a nice merge of old and new dalek city’s

How did skaro come back after the hand of omega destroyed it? Iv always wounded that?

2:03 Why do the 60s Daleks look up when they die?
That was the original planet skaro in 1963 in the original doctor who series
''Daleks willing to play a 'Long Game''' Hehe

@dalek bumps Are you doing a special on the Slyther? Shame it hasn't been brought back.
My favourite version is in a strip in the 1964 Dalek Book.
They must love that city

The building structures of the city make me think of chess pieces.
I wonder if there’s much in the way of night life.
Tbh I wish The Paradigm Daleks Return in Season 9 Episode 1 - 2
The Dalek city from 2015 rules…
but how can daleks build anything if their movement is so jank and they have no hands…
