Doctor Who: Difference between revisions

** The rejuvenated Daleks have different colored casings to identify their functions, but thus far we haven't seen enough of them for it to really make a difference. Black Daleks are usually called "Supreme" and have leadership positions. And when they were divided into two factions in ''Remembrance of the Daleks'', they had different colors as well.

* [[Conqueror From the Future]]: The Master, the Daleks, and several others over the years.

* [[Conservation of Ninjutsu]]: In "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S27/E06 Dalek|Dalek]]", a single Dalek manages to wipe out an entire base full of trained elite soldiers (and is only defeated because it decides to destroy ''itself''). More recent episodes have seen entire armies of the supposedly terrifying and insurmountable space-Nazis regularly thwarted by a combination of [[Reverse Polarity|technobabble]] and [[A Wizard Did It|genetic wizardry]].

:In-universe, it's strongly implied that the lone Dalek was moments from being thoroughly blasted by the Doctor, and vast armies of Daleks are treated as the end of the world rather than Mooks. In practice, trope is fully in effect, though this seems to be more a case of the Doctor being able to beat the Daleks each time they appear regardless of the numbers even though they are a tremendous in-universe threat. Pretty much every time the Doctor isn't present or isn't really invested in their enemy surviving ({{spoiler|aka when Daleks fight the Cybermen, both were enemies and if either survived the survivor would take over the world}}) the result is that the Daleks pretty much [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomp their opponent]] {{spoiler|with the only real exception being the Time Lords themselves who were still losing. The Cybermen lose easily, and let's not forget that it took minutes for them to subdue earth in spite of tremendous preparations specifically for this eventuality}}.

* [[Cuteness Proximity]]: The Doctor is this with K9.

* [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul]]: The Cybermen, one of the earliest examples of this trope, as they first appeared in 1966.
