New title sequnece... Still don't like it.

As for the actual episode, brilliant. Best Dalek story since Dalek.

Finally we get to see a full scale space battle with stuff being blown up on
Doctor Who and the Daleks showing their true power and actually doing some
conquering. Also it was reminiscent of Resurrection of the Daleks with the
Dalkes blasting their way into the ship and the suggestion that the Doctor
could have been a copy or duplicate. Obviously references to the Invisible
Enemy as well with the shrunk down Doctor and his companions being injected
into the Dalek.

The assistant again is left to do some problem soving on their own unlike
previous assistants in the new series who just followed the Doctor around
and when not with him were only there for soap opera. Apart from this series
the only instance I can remember when the Doctors companion is challenged is
when Donna uses the stiletto heal of her shoe to knock out a Sontaran.

Don't like all the series arc nonsense. It was bad enough with Bad Wolf
getting repeated over and over again and then Torchwood and then the Silence
inserts and now we have both inserts and repetition of the same phrase. It
all looks likes it's all been stuffed in at the last moment just so they can
claim to have a series arc and the only effect it has is to ruin the
episode.

Danny Pink is introduced for the first time and has obviously got some
back-story to do with him being a soldier and killing a civilian or
non-combatant. Now that is the way to do series arcs, and not that Paradise
rubbish that's being shoe horned in and inflicted on us.

Peter Capaldi is getting into the role now, but it still sounds like the
script was written for Matt Smith, and the exaggerated Glaswegian when he
gets all heated up is a bit over the top and doesn't suit him.

There's also an attempt to point out that the Doctor became the person he is
now after his first encounter with the Daleks on Skaro so the Doctor before
that may have been a different person, especially with the first Doctors
bidding his companions to kill the savage in An Unearthly Child. An other
reference to that story is the school Clara teaches at and when or if Danny
Pink joins the Doctor there will be two teachers travelling in the TARDIS
once again.

The Doctor still hates the Daleks as we found out in Dalek and I was
thinking that it make have been him that was controlling the Dalek travel
machine when it began exterminating all the other Daleks that entered the
ship.

Still Don't trust that Dalek. How does anyone know it wasn't just acting in
order to get itself repaired and where is it off to now? Why didn't the
Doctor send a virus into the Dalek central computer systems to give them all
that particular Dalek's memories? Then again it that's what he did it would
be an obvious rip-off of Star Trek TNG when they did the same with the Borg.

Liked the Doctor Who Extra again.

Looking forward to next week's Robin Hood episode written by Mark Gatiss.

What about Amy and Rory? They were often challenged. (e.g. trapped in
the corridors in The Doctor's Wife)

I'm just afraid he'll turn out to be working for Missy, or maybe even be
her in disguise. :( At the very last, does his mysteriously interesting
reading material has anything to do with the arc?

Which was a rip-off of what the Doctor did to the Daleks in "Evil of the
Daleks".

And that, of course, makes nonsense of the Doctor's claim that there's
never been a good Dalek. Has he really forgotten how he created a whole
race of good Daleks!?!

Well that of course begs the question what is good and what is evil and
where do you draw the line dividing them? You can't. It's impissible. One
man's good is another man's evil and it what every suits them at the time.
Look at how the Allies sided with Stalin against Hitler.

What the episode is really showing is that the Doctor is prejudiced against
all Daleks. The Daleks follow their programming or conditioning and that's
what makes them Daleks. If you can break that programming or conditioning
then the Daleks become something different. If the other Daleks find out
that one Dalek is different they will either exterminate it or put it in the
Asylum. The fact that they might put it in an Asylum shows they already have
compassion. The fact that the broken/insane Dalek still wanted to
Exterminate the other Daleks shows that it's programming or conditioning
hasn't changed much. It's just learned to hate something more, other Daleks.

I rewatched the episode with the colour turned down to black and white
at the suggestion of a comment here (I think) and the titles are way
better. In fact it really works throughout the whole episode

Agreed. I liked, too, the external reference to "a fantastic idea for a
film". I do think the Daleks are at their best when they are properly
threatening, but I also liked the way that human weapons could, on
occasion, kill them. I have felt, in recent times, that the Daleks
became too powerful, or at least too invulnerable. An indestructible
adversary is never a wise move in plot and story-telling terms.

I think the series arc thing is related to the structure of New Who. It
is a not-entirely-happy compromise between the traditions of US science
fiction television (eg Star Trek), where each episode is a different
story, and British science fiction television where - as was the case
with Old Who - the story is told over several episodes. The trouble
with series arcs is that they are meant to give a sense of direction to
the season and build up expectations. If you do that over 12 episodes
the chances are that you will build up expectations to a point where
you cannot possibly deliver.

The Glaswegian is not exaggerated. That's the way Weegies talk. Trust
me on that. In fact, for many people in my part of the world this is
the first time in more than 50 years that The Doctor hasn't had an
accent

I think that The Doctor finds it sobering that he still hates them so
much that Rusty can't really see past that. Maybe nor can The Doctor.
Is he a good man if he has such hatred?

It would also be a rip off of Independence Day but worse. The Daleks
have been fighting virtually everyone in the universe and the Time War.
They use firewalls and don't open dodgy attachments. The big question
is When will The Doctor be turned into a Dalek for real?

When the Doctor and company are miniturized, their mass is greatly reduced. Where did the missing mass go?

No, it's a reference to the film Fantastic Voyage, which was made explicit in the Doctor's "Great idea for a film" line.

It's new territory for Clara, but most previous assistants in the new series have done a fair bit on their own - particularly Donna (episodes where she was separated from the Doctor for some time), Martha in a couple of cases (recall she was away from the Doctor for most of the second episode of her season).

Yes, that was a jarring insert that seemed to go out of its way to say "This has nothing to do with the episode".

I suspect he'll turn out to have worked for UNIT in some capacity. I like what I've seen of him so far, but it's too little to really judge.

After last week I was actively trying to imagine these lines being given to Smith, and in most cases they don't work.

I didn't mind that retrofit - it even made some sense, as Hartnell's character was less callous and more heroic in later stories and Dalek didn't really fit with the way he was portrayed later, when he actively meddled to do what he felt was right rather than for any pragmatic reason. The Doctor of The Daleks wouldn't have challenged the Monk and wouldn't have cared about the Sensorites, for instance.

Looking forward to an episode written by Mark Gatiss? Why? Cold War was okay, but most of his other Who episodes have been mediocre or worse.

Souffle girl was Clara, or a version or superposition of her anyways. They're

Yes, I observed in comments on last week's episode that the pre-companion versions of Clara had more personality than Clara the companion. This week's episode is welcome because Clara comes across more like those characters than the anonymous lackey who's been following the Doctor around for the past year.

When Rusty reverted to normal Dalek protocol, the soliders inside it decided to blow it up from the inside with bombs. Why don't they just push their deminiterization buttons and kill the Dalek by EXPANDING inside it? (I figure that the bombs would kill the soldiers anyway).

The Doctor knew what the equipment was so it was also a reference to The
Invisible Enemy where he'd been shrunk down before along with Leela before.
Except that version was a copy whereas Leela was the original, and the
existence of copying was referenced too.

They had to make Clara as undefined as possible at first as an artificial
way to increase the mystery about the Impossible Girl. (e.g. Could she
really be a splintered Jaggeroth? Or a projection of the TARDIS? Or
River Song's triplet daughters? Or...) As long as she was generic, she
could be anything at all. Now the mystery is solved, she's free to be
her own character.

Yes, because we saw less of them. If they'd been recurring characters,
they would've had to be made vaguer to avoid giving anything away.

He was on his first assignment on a garbage scow escorting the Botany Bay after
the Enterprise woke it up. That's how he met Khan even though he wasn't yet

How to make a good Dalek: Fetch Mahatma Ghandi and snag Rusty and bring them to the Aristotle. Miniturize Ghandi and the Doctor and inject them into Rusty's brain. Have the Doctor link Ghandi's mind with that of Rusty so that Ghandi can teach Rusty non-violence.

It wouldn't work. Ghandi hated the British and was only non-violent because
he knew he wasn't strong enough to oust them by force. The Dalek would feed
on that just like it fed off the Doctor. Ghandi is also considered by a lot
of Indians to have been a traitor because he allowed the creation of
Pakistan and forced ethnic cleansing. The Dalek would love that.

Well non-violence would not save the rest of the humans.

Why did it take you so long to complain about my double posting? And where did you find the 2nd posting? I see one dated Sept 28, but not the one dated Sept 30. (Maybe that's one of the deleted messages in that time period).

The same way the Doctor was trying, except that MLK didn't hate anyone, so the Dalek wouldn't have any hatreds to latch onto!
