Canon Immigrant: Difference between revisions

** Synthehol, an alcohol substitute that gets one drunk, but the effects of intoxication can be dismissed at will, started life as a concept in the TNG novels and was soon written into the TV series.

* ''[[Doctor Who]]'' has occasionally dipped in its [[Doctor Who Expanded Universe|Expanded Universe]], largely because of the [[Promoted Fanboy|former fanboys]] currently in charge.

** As far as actual characters go, the Dalek Emperor first appeared in Dalek comics and annuals, though he looked considerably different in his first TV appearance in ''The Evil of the Daleks''. When he re-appeared in ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S25/E01 Remembrance of the Daleks|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'' he looked more similar to the comics version, as a [[Shout-Out]]. The idea of top-ranking Daleks being gold-painted began in the Peter Cushing films, but made its way into the first couple of colour TV Dalek stories. Speaking of the Cushing films, the new Daleks props introduced in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E03 Victory of the Daleks|Victory of the Daleks]]" [[Mythology Gag|take their technicolor design from those of the movies and a couple of design elements (most notably the balljoints for the eyestalks.) from the same comics the Dalek Emperor first appeared]]. The smallest Dalek time unit, the "rel", also began in films and comics but has been incorporated into TV canon in post-2005 Dalek stories.

** The look of the Daleks' flying saucers, which first appeared on the DVD release of ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S2/E02 The Dalek Invasion of Earth|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'' as replacement special effects, and later appeared in the series itself, was originally from the comic strips.
