The Council’s Blindfolded Judgment: A Warning Ignored

The Daleks, though not physically present in the Council Chamber, are the central focus of the Doctor’s warnings. They are described as an existential threat, a monstrous creation by Davros that will destroy everything in its path. The Doctor’s urgent pleas revolve around the need to stop the Daleks before they can be unleashed, framing them as the ultimate weapon that will doom the Kaleds, the Thals, and the universe. Their absence is palpable, yet their looming presence drives the tension and urgency of the scene.

Before: In development in Davros’s secret laboratories, not yet fully operational but rapidly approaching completion.

After: Still in development, but the Council’s inaction ensures that their creation will proceed unchecked, bringing them closer to completion and unleashing.
