[intrigueing]

I think Skaro was locked all along its timeline in the Time War along with all the Time Lords and Daleks who didn't find a loophole out, otherwise there would have still been pre-war!Daleks living there still killing people in the accessible past, so it's not really just a matter of traveling back in time to "before" it's destruction, because its entire timeline was destroyed in the war from even before Seven blew it up.

And....er, no? It's not a major premise? It's a major feature, through a culmination of writing decisions and errors, but not a major premise, and especially not in the new series, where story continuity is a much bigger consideration. The problem isn't that Doctor Who has subject-to-change canon, it's more that being subject to change without any explanation or acknowledgement doesn't fly regardless of the reasons. Like, there has to be a reason why the Doctor is suddenly interacting with loads of Daleks living on Skaro when the planet only exists in a past timeline that is supposed to have been frozen out of time-travel-accessible reality.

Now, mind you, a sudden bullshit asspull retcon would be perfectly acceptable as that reason, but there has to be some reason, not just "here it is." Or at least a "bwuh???? how????" reaction from the Doctor acknowledging that he shouldn't be able to access Skaro. I mean, that's like Gallifrey suddenly always-existing-without-destruction with loads of Time Lords on it.
