This is particularly in regard to the increasingly implausible mechanisms by which Davros' almost universally sticky fate at the end of the previous story is explained away.

I'm not sure that's right. Let's see:

end of Genesis... - killed by Daleks: beginning of Destiny... - revived by chair's built-in handwavium devices
end of Destiny... - arrested and sent to trial: beginning of Resurrection... - in prison
end of Resurrection... - infected by deadly virus: beginning of Revelation... - has found cure
end of Revelation... - captured by Daleks, hauled off to Skaro: beginning of Remembrance... - has become leader of the Daleks
end of Remembrance... - leaves exploding ship in escape capsule

Most of those are downright reasonable, and the first one beats all the rest for stickyness and implausibility of resolution. (If this had been the Master we were talking about, on the other hand...)

Cleanup

Someone inserted a BBC comment in the middle of a paragraph using [ and ]... needs to be worked into the article. -Tux256ac 04:38, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that needs to be removed. It's not the BBC position, but from the Discontinuity Guide, which is excerpted for the BBC Doctor Who website; but that doesn't make it a "BBC comment". Thanks for pointing it out. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 04:48, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Star Trek-inspired?

Never seen the show, but saw this:

he depended completely upon his mobile life-support chair which enclosed the lower half of his body

Anyone know if this was borrow from Christopher Pike's chair in the original series' "Menagerie" episode?

Not really. Chris Pike was enclosed from his neck down; Davros only from his waist. The idea was to explain how the Dalek design came about, based on his chair. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 15:47, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
