I watched it ok but it looked like Yates had got his mits on it and turned the lights off. No
but besides the darkness issue, it left me with nothing much. just meh. its probably because I don't give a figg (dadoomtoosh!)for any of them.

And I have yet to see either episode. Needless to say the spoilers in this thread are getting mighty hard to ignore.

Actually this is how I feel about the episode I watched, I may be all wrong but, that wouldnt be a 1st ( or a 1000th ! ) Laughing
Spoiler:
Will we see more of this theory in the future ? or am I being the usual doofus ?

I have no memory of any history of the Daleks, I missed the episode that described how & why they came into being. For several years I did miss out on Dr Who so, I thought, maybe, my idea wasnt so daft ???
Spoiler:
Just an idea ? Was there ever an episode that explained all about Daleks ?

Genesis of the Daleks is probably the best place to start (in many ways this series opener is a sequel to it, certainly in spirit)



But in short the problem is Davros bred the Daleks as the 'final form' he believed the mutations caused by adaptation would lead to in the Kaled people. But he didn't just mutate the shape of a Kaled into a Dalek, he also 'fixed' a lot of philosophical issue he saw, things which he believed made it detrimental to a species to be successful in the universal game of survival of the fittest- notions like love, friendship, compassion, empathy ect.
So its not that the poor little Dalek is in there crying I love you and the casing just shoots people instead- its a little ball of genetically engineered hate in there that wants to kill, cant wait for the chance to kill and show how superior it is, its not that the don't want to feel love, its that they have no genetic capacity left for it.

And probably one of the best episodes of Who ever made, if you can be a tad forgiving of some clunky 1970s production values that creeps in occasionally. Nod

It was also a rare 6 parter than actually felt like it used the time to good affect, I still shudder at those endless chase sequences in Pertwee's 7 parters...

If I was being critical of Genesis there is some padding, there's a fair bit of get captured, escape, get captured again back where you started to it- I could do without the Sarah Jane rocket-ship escape cliffhanger back where they started resolution one for example, it just slows the whole thing up and doesn't add anything. Overall though still one of the great stories and the cast all on top form.

Azriel- been thinking about it and whilst Daleks are pure bred to be genetically filled with hate for anything not a Dalek there are other types- there is full Dalek conversion- where instead of making one of the 'robo-men' types out of someone, with the Dalek stalk that comes out their head, they turn them into a full Dalek- its what happens to one of the versions of Clara in Asylum of the Dalek- so its possible in those cases the shell's programming is more in control than it would need to be with a pure bred Dalek who would have no concept of much else outside of how fun it is to kill shit that aint a Dalek.

well its the end of the road for me and Doctor Who. Cant bear to watch it any more. its a shame really but the time has come to cut the cord. I might give the next showrunner a go but as it is at the moment I cant even summon up enough interest to get crabbit. Shocked

Thanks for that Petty Very Happy
I love Dr Who, have done since I was a child but, there is one thing that chews my arse.... I think what Im personally not keen on is....the rapid fire clever clogs banter. The old Drs werent quite so fast talking at moments of imminent death whereas this Dr, ( & Tennant et al ) speeds up so that I dont always get what he says ? Give it to me slowly ! Laughing

'watched it ok but it looked like Yates had got his mits on it and turned the lights off.'- Figg

coming from you thats a good review of a Moffat episode, so how do you go from that to-

'well its the end of the road for me and Doctor Who. Cant bear to watch it any more.'

Also I am curious about what it was about this episode made up your mind? Its a strong character piece which is something you have been critical of it not being in the past. It seems an odd one to choose to quit on.


'anyway Petty will be pleased no more negativity on this thread.'

Nope, I wont be. I love Who and I enjoy sharing the joy and pleasure it brings me with others. It does nothing but sadden me that the show does not bring you those things. But at least when you were being disparaging about it there was still something there that kept you watching.
And I hate missing out on a good fighting opponent.  Mad
(My money however is on your return, if for no other reason that a northern lass can only stand so long outside a closed door behind which they can hear a right good barny going on before she has to go in  Very Happy )

'Mrs Figg and Pettytyrant fighting all time also good. Means they love each other. Kissing. Marriage. Babies. Etc. Etc.'- Nagual

You know, when you only post when I am on a rare bit of absence of more than several hours, people just think you are a sock-puppet of mine. Mad
And you've seen my socks, when I'm using the stick to stop them climbing the barrel walls, they would make for a monstrous puppet!  Shocked  No

As to the list, you know fine well I have no truck with the last two as you cant do them with a bottle of buckie!  drunken
