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.

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

What is the etymology of Doctor Who?

I recently decided to watch Doctor Who, and started viewing the 2005 version. I have the first two episodes from the first season, and I can't help but wonder what is the etymology of the name "Doctor Who"? And why does the protagonist call himself "the Doctor" (or is it "the doctor")? Answer In the very first episode of Doctor Who (way back in 1963), the Doctor has a granddaughter going by the name "Susan Foreman", and the junkyard where the TARDIS is has the sign "I.M. Foreman". Barbara, who becomes one of the Doctor's companions, calls him "Doctor Foreman" (probably assuming that is his name given his relationship to Susan), and Ian (another early companion) does the same in the second episode, to which the Doctor says: Eh? Doctor who? What's he talking about? "Foreman" is most likely selected as a convenient surname for Susan to use because it happened to be on display near where the TARDIS landed....

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...
