which is what I call all this trying not to offend anybody,
at all, whatsoever, stuff... RTD's comments on Davros not
being in a wheelchair anymore as it might offend disabled
people, or not using the Cybermen anymore as it might offend
people with prosthetic limbs or a pacemaker (etc.) It's
nonsense. And it is a malaise that seems to have affected
everyone at the BBC and modern television production.

Davros is a fucking cripple because he was caught up in a
war, like what happens to real people in war. They get
injured. I cannot recall anyone being offended by him as a
character. But oh no, Davros has to walk around on Skaro now
as we can't depict bad people in wheelchairs, it sends the
wrong message. <rolls eyes>

..... Or, maybe, in some futuristic society, we can take a
cripple and make him/her/them/they fully functionally again!!
;-P

 Yeah, and maybe they will be called Cyberpeople...

 

Or was the crippled Davros just a dream all along??

 I'd rather write-off the CiN special as a dream sequence in
my head-canon... and in fairness, those 'specials' are easy
enough to ignore. I wouldn't be getting worked up enough over
it to be posting "Retcon the walking Davros" in response to
every post here anyway!!!
