Say what now?

So I was going through Netflix, deciding that I'd like some One DVDs. And then I ran across this:

Dr. Who and the Daleks

I *never* hear about this movie. I mean, even the Eight movie I heard people talking about before I saw it. Is this something that's pretty well dismissed outright? Not only does it sound like the same plot from the "The Daleks" but the Doctor's an Earth scientist? And Barbara's his granddaughter in addition to Susan? Why would someone feel the need to make this movie using the same plot but with those changes? o_O

It could just as easily have been "Hey, we have all this stuff going on, it could explain that *$(&# half-human thing!"

*laughs*

It's more likely they were some pet ideas of the writers involved. Faction Paradox has certainly taken on a life of its own, to the extent that Big Finish spun its off as its own audio series.

Wow! I'm beginning to see why there's a lot of "pick your own canon" about Who.

You betcha. Self-preservation of what few marbles we have left...

Oooh. There are marbles left? Is it sort of a group share kind of thing? I need to get in on that...
