Doctor Who very important question.

*Spoilers*

After watching the 50th anniversary special I have a question about Gallifrey.

If the Doctor sent Gallifrey into another dimension what happened to all the Daleks that were on Gallifrey at the time? Wouldn't they have gone into the alternate universe with the rest of the planet?

[Dumbledork]

Answer: Don't apply logic to Who.

Maybe the move only took those with matter organic to Gallifrey and left the Daleks spinning in sudden emptiness.

ETA: My Logic vs. Who question: If the crack made Rory cease to exist, wouldn't the world have imploded back with Prisoner Zero and the Atraxi? Rory was fairly important to figuring that case out.

That is a very good point re: logic and Doctor Who. Usually I don't think too hard about these things but every now and then I get a question stuck in my head I just can't ignore. This is one of them.

Frequently when DH and I watch (he just got me interested in it a year ago), I comment that it's a good show as long as I don't pay attention to logic or historical accuracy--like the fact that there's no way Amy would have been allowed to wander Venice in short shorts.

If something doesnt fit or make sense I just make up a reason for it in my head. Like clothes...I just pretend every else sees appropriate clothes, just like they hear the appropriate language,

I figure the TARDIS uses a perception filter for things like clothes

Except the clothes thing didn't work when they met Queen Victoria--there were comments on Rose's "nakedness".

[mala]

Yeah but she should have been branded with nasty names and totally shamed. Not just told she was "naked".

An old quote from classic Doctor Who: "Logic merely enables us to be wrong with authority."

It's on my list of favorite quotes.
