I’m thinking of calling my earlier mentioned edit The Dalek’s Master Plan: Regeneration Edition. Here’s how I think it would go (there were some errors and less details in my last rundown):
-
The Myth Makers but Katarina doesn’t join
-
The Massacre but without the Doctor’s Speech or Steven’s false departure
-
All the Steven and Dodo stories unaltered up until…
-
The Savages but without Steven’s actual departure
-
The Daleks’ Mater Plan 1-6 with Dodo in place of Katarina
-
The War Machines/The Feast of Steven mashup but with Steven’s departure from the Massacre and, get this, Dodo as the hallucination of a guilt-ridden Doctor (she’s in non-missing episodes so this is probably only the only feasible way to account for her death but it works out nicely)
-
The Smugglers unaltered (if you really wanna watch it)
-
The Tenth Planet without the regeneration or hints thereof and with Steven’s return from The Massacre
-
The Daleks’ Master Plan 8-12 with:
-
Ben and Polly added to the cast (not sure what I’ll do about the one non-missing episode)
-
Mavic Chen revealing himself to be the Master (a headcanon of mine that works nicely with and was indeed spawned from the story’s title)
-
Steven’s departure from The Massacre
-
The Doctor’s speech from The Massacre (not sure I’ll deal with Ben and Polly being around when he says “They’re all gone now”)
-
The Doctor’s regeneration from The Tenth Planet (now with color regeneration energy)
-
