2026-02-01 22:13:16 +0000 UTCWhat I like about the reboot is it pays homage and love to the original whilst advancing the ideas further. The idea of humanising a Dalek by literally having their dna develop so they no longer are one means we get a totally new take on a Dalek that still stands as a love letter to their history and character
I like Bobby Fish… but he’s got this fish gimmick
2026-01-06 23:45:41 +0000 UTCYeah, this was a fantastic episode for us old fans, and really showed what Daleks could do. They actually showed a levitating Dalek in one of the last Classic Who episodes, but it was only big fans who were watching the show then before it 'rested'. Daleks have always looked like that inside, though we don't see it very often. Daleks hate anything that's not a Dalek. So when it realised that it was no longer a Dalek anymore as it had emotion, it hated itself and so begged to die.

Everyone here will know what one is, even if they've never watched the show. Interestingly (at least to Whovian nerds like me) this version of the Dalek is slightly shorter than the Classic ones, so that it's eye stalk lined up perfectly with Billie Piper's eyeline.

2026-01-06 10:40:47 +0000 UTCFun fact, this episode was adapted from a Doctor Who audio drama from 2003 called Jubilee!

2026-01-06 07:53:04 +0000 UTCI haven't commented on these yet, because mainly I don't won't to accidently spoil anything, but I will say in regard to this episode, don't you think Van Stanton is Elon before Elon was Elon? I can just imagine him doing something like this. lol.

2026-01-06 07:52:13 +0000 UTCSo you would be right in that there was some subversion in the episode, but mostly in the sense that all these things were in the classic series (notably the elevate bit), but pop-culture didnt get the memo and it became kind of a jab against them, so the episode was intentionally written to cover all the factors people mocked and showcase the Daleks power.
