doctor who - How many Daleks are left?


The Skittles breed of Dalek were pretty limited in number. One by one we've seen a couple meet their end, if memory serves.


Which Power Ranger Daleks are still* kicking about the Universe?





* Well, OK; "still" is a fluid concept. We jump around in space and time, and so do the Daleks, so we could say that — depending when we materialise — they're all alive, all the time (which, incidentally, is something that really bothers me about the Doctor deciding to fake his death). But we the viewers still magically seem to have a linear, progressing view .. so let's think in terms of televised adventures. :)

Answer



I count it thus:




  • All the Daleks were thought destroyed in the Time War.





  • Since then, one crashed on Earth in 1962 and was found in 2012 in Henry Van Statten's collection; that killed itself.




  • The Dalek Emperor's ship also turned out to have survived, and he created an army out of harvested humans, but Bad Wolf!Rose destroyed all that.




  • Then the Cult of Skaro escaped the void and turned up with the Genesis Ark, but the Ark and all the Daleks in it were sucked back into the void.




  • The Cult of Skaro (now the only surviving Daleks in the universe) escaped via temporal shift and made it to 1930 Manhattan.





  • Daleks Sec, Thay and Jast all got killed, Dalek Caan escaped and shifted back into the Time War, where he saved Davros and escaped.




  • They built a Dalek army out of Davros' cells. Both Davros and Caan presumably died when the Crucible was destroyed, so did almost the whole army.




  • As always "one ship survived" and ends up in 1941.





  • The Ironside!Daleks use the Doctor to reactivate the Progenitor and are promptly killed by the Power-Ranger-Daleks.




  • That left the New Paradigm Daleks the only remaining ones.


    As I recall, there were five of those (that we were shown).




    • One was turned to stone in The Big Bang and killed by River shortly after, though that might have been undone by the rebooting of the universe.





    • One was incapacitated (and presumably killed) by the Doctor at the beginning of "The Wedding of River Song".






So in short there are three, possibly four, Daleks left by my count.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?
