:tardis: Doctor Who Question :tardis:
How do the Dalek's travel faster than light?
The TARDIS :tardis: really just leaves reality and re-enters elsewhere (sometimes at a different time.) I know that's similar to Star Wars where they go into Hyperspace and exit at the destination, Star Trek creates a warp bubble and rides that to their destination. I don't know if the Cybermen :cyberman: even do travel faster than light (they can wait it out, though.) But the Daleks do cross interstellar distances regularly, and I've watched every episode since the sixties and I am not sure that was ever addressed.
Anyone know that answer?

It looks like it's the Star Wars method:

(Note: This predates Star Wars, as it shows up as far back as the Third Doctor in 1973)

@LexPendragon
when Babylon 4 gets moved in time, I don't remember if it was the same hyperspace shift as the regular travel points or not, but neither of those seem to be quite the same as the SNW Subspace Rhapsody rift
the first thought I had reading the article was something about IPFS, though. o.0

@LexPendragon Their hate allows them to achieve the impossible.
I actually find the general structure of their bodies cute, so it's a shame that they are so destructive.

@nette Way back when, User Friendly had a character trick C'thulhu into a cloning vat, which produced tiny squidy things that I always called C'thulhulettes. I ran a LambdaMOO for a few years, and in that world was a clone vat that spit those things out. I think I also went so far as it write it so that they could get a metal casing and become Daleks somehow, or at least that was my plan for them that never quite came to be.
Regardless, bad, diminutive copies of C'thulhu being the Kaleds in a Dalek shell makes perfect sense to me, the hatefulness checks out.

@LexPendragon If I'm not mistaken, they were also partially based on the Nazis. I wish I had been alive to watch Classic Who. Has the series always put an emphasis on silly romantic subplots? I imagine that those are intended to humanize The Doctor, but they are more distracting than anything else.

@nette The classic Doctors are definitely worth it. There's been one or two romantic subplots, but clearly that wasn't the target. It definitely wasn't a running theme, and you can miss it entirely if you weren't told it was there.
If you check out the Fourth Doctor's Dalek stories, Genesis and Resurrection, are still a good watch these days. Genesis really shows you the fascist origins.

@LexPendragon Their FTL capability seems to be left pretty vague, but they're able to travel through time.
