9X02 "The Witch's Familiar" Grading/Discussion)

[Guy Gardener]

There was an episode of the twilight zone in the 1980s, where this man and woman wake up and they're the only people left on earth, well except for the robot construction crews demolishing everything. It turns out that "God or whoever" has to build the entire universe (or as much of it that is going to be seen by people) for every minute, and every new minute, and then demolish the used universe after all life had phased in, lived there for 60 seconds, and phased into the next minute.

Maybe it's like that?

Or is it like how the TARDIS can't go to 1938 New York, but 1934 New York and 1943 New York is fine?

Was this the story that "The Adjustment Bureau" was based on? Sounds familiar..

That sounds like the episode from 80's series called "A Matter Of Minutes" where a couple wittnesses men moving parts of the world forward or basically they represent the flow of time. Interestingly enough, that episode was written by Harlan Ellison and Rockne S. O'Bannon

I thought Phillip K Dick wrote a story like this, because he wrote the initial short story that became the movie "The Adjustment Bureau" which was loosely based on a Twilight Zone episode, and that's what I thought you guys were talking about..

I'm kind of curious how Master/Missy has met this particular Dalek Supreme during the Time war. Given that the Daleks have been destroyed/rebuilt several times since, how can it be the same one?

Maybe she rescued it...

There is a digital component to the Daleks?

Dalek "children" are their parents.

There are no Dalek children, if fresh meat is just engrained with old personalities.

Unless Dalek children are fed a blended mash of the most Dalek of personalities in the history libraries of Dalek heroes?

So, not new hat, but still not old hat either either?

To a Dalek, all hats are porkpie hats.

Maybe it was after, not during.

Missy could be planning to meet the Supreme Dalek in "his" past, later on.
