Dalek
Just seen this weeks episode... how the hell did they manage to breath new life into the old pepper pot? I thought the dalek was brilliantly updated with lots of nice touches..like the fully revolving weapons section...and the final self destruction scene/mechanism.
Nice to see little touches of humour in there too.
The new dalek was sorta Lynchian Dune 'Fighter' type metalwork meets T100 terminator attitude/technology...I thought the show was at least on a par with other contemporary scifi offerings..even to the short comings... but so what.. it's good to see the BBC putting money and effort into scifi again..
Now if they could just produce less episodic story lines that developed the good ideas that are there.. then Dr Who would be a real kick arse show.
Missed it

Your right though, we've been introduced to the world of the Doctor now and a story arc would be a good idea. Maybe the next series will be more arc written, I hear that the BBC have a new Doctor already.

Submitted by corvina on Thu, 05/05/2005 - 18:47.It's ok to feel sorry for the Dalek...shame it couldn't adapt..that's what one feels sorry about..I have to go with Nietzsche on the good and evil thing..one feels sorry for the springbok that's the lions lunch but the lion is not evil because it kills to survive. The dalek is programmed to kill..it's its nature...

Submitted by Sci-Fi on Fri, 06/05/2005 - 00:52.Good episode but there was one flaw that wasn't explained. The technician stated that workers that touched the Dalek without gloves were fried. So why was Rose different and her DNA was absorbed instead? Is it was because she showed compassion? Even then a Dalek wouldn't care and why would Rose end up being the one that could issue the "order" for the Dalek to self destruct? But those are just nitpicks and I wonder how many people got their brains wiped clean and reprogrammed after the facility was buried in cement?

I think it was a scan that went wrong, it perfected it since then. The Dalek was trying to make Rose touch it so it could absorb genetic material to start healing itself (there is some stuff about the daleks plan on Beeb site http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/episodes/dalek.shtml)

It's discussed in more detail in the season two finale, Doomsday.
By the way......The season three opener, Smith & Jones was brilliant on Saturday.
