[edit] Episode splitting
I'm opening this to discussion. So far the way we've been writing synopses do not distinguish between episodes. While I can see the usefulness of this, at the same time some synopses don't cleanly break at the episode ends and beginnings. Since this is quite a radical change to the way things have been done, can we come to a consensus on this? --khaosworks 20:23, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] The Daleks' power and that antenna in episode 6
It's not stated in this story how the Daleks gain their power -- they don't have the solar panels seen in The Chase onwards, and they're clearly not drawing static electricity from the floor like in The Daleks. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the intention was they received their power through the dishes on their backs; hence when David and Susan destroy the tower, they're left immobilised -- one of the things that Dalek screeches moments later seems to be "power loss complete!". (However, a Dalek is seen moving shortly afterwards -- perhaps it recovered from the shock enough to use its battery backup?). In the novelisation it stated the dishes and antenna were part of a communications network (the disruption of which confuses and immobilises them), but there's no explanation in the show for why the antenna's destruction causes them so much trouble... what do you guys think?
