Quote from: Emperor PiT on July 30, 2012, 05:04:22 AM
     I thought the Daleks had a certain charm as implacable killing machines. It's a nice break from the complexity of real life, if you will. Tongue That four Daleks were stuck hiding under Manhattan (a fact that was pointed out, even) was humiliating to them and made them seem less threatening in the long run. I thought it was a good story on its own terms, but I didn't like the effect it had on the greater saga.

     Ultimately, I concede that it may not be fair to blame any one story for the recent decline of the Daleks. Overall, they were just used too often. Any tack that would let them stay menacing in spite of such frequent appearances would probably be too pessimistic to work in Doctor Who.

I agree. As a villain they really have ceased to be villainous (and this goes back to the 80's). One Dalek is not particualrly frightening and neither is a million; it's hard to get a happy medium - 'Dalek' got it balanced well.

Moffat has been wise to 'retire' the Dalek's though the first episode of the new series will feature every Dalek there has ever been so who knows if it will be a bit of a re-invention.

It's been a bad run for Series 2 which I guess is to be expected. I'm going to vote out the Lazarus Experiment from Series 3 as I tend to skip it when watching the series again.

Daleks in Manhattan. It's not a bad episode, but I like Boom Town Smiley

New Earth. I'd forgotten about that episode actually.
