    I think RTD has cleverly side-stepped some of the fallout by setting this little story a little while before Genesis of the Daleks. It doesn’t quite work with established lore, but near enough that casual viewers might say “oh so this is before Davros has his accident or whatever”.

        It will be interesting to see if they address it next time we see Davros. RTD is pretty good at papering over continuity problems with a line or two:

        Doctor: You’ve got legs! How??

        Davros: The Daleks have mastery over time. It was simplicity itself to travel back and amend certain injurious events.

        Doctor: You can’t just – It doesn’t work like that!

        Davros: [indicates legs] Behold.
