10 Huge Moments In Doctor Who That No One Cared About

Asylum of the Dalek gives us our first introduction to Jenna Coleman in Who, playing Oswin Oswald, who's seemingly connected to our future companion Clara Oswald. However, in the end it is revealed poor Oswin has been converted into a Dalek.

As a last gift to the Eleventh Doctor to escape, she reveals to him that she removed every trace of him from the Dalek's database, allowing him to escape the Asylum. Upon making it back to the Dalek Parliament, we are left with the final knowledge, that all the Daleks have forgotten him, and not just those in the Asylum, leaving them to question: Doctor Who?

So with that ending, surely the next appearance of the Doctor versus the Daleks (it's Doctor Who, that obviously has to happen) is going to be pretty interesting right? Wrong.

The next appearance of the Daleks, baring their 50th Anniversary appearance in the Time War, is in the Time of the Doctor. And once again, the Daleks remember their arch nemesis. When asked by the Doctor how they knew who he was, we get the convenient explanation of they took the memories of Tasha Lem, a character we are only just introduced to in the episode, who is apparently significant enough to provide the Daleks with everything they need on the Doctor.

In the end, it feels lazy to write the ending of Asylum to then simply do a full one-eighty as soon as they reappear for convenience. Why bother in the first place?
