[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 387602, member: 8"] There's not much to say about VICTORY OF THE DALEKS. The improved Daleks look like a bunch of 1980s Toyotas and I prefer the orginal gothic design that is similar to the inside of the Tardis. But it was fun to watch them serve tea. A double return in the next story, River Song featuring The Weeping Angels. Great intrigue provides just enough information, suspense is about what you see and don't see and drama is about what happens and doesn't happen. River Song's story arc in the LIBRARY episodes was perfect and part of its strength was in the "goodbye" and "could-have-beens". However, since Doctor Who can go back and forth in time - and alter events in the process which would be considered retcons in a linear narrative[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]**[/COLOR] - they would be crazy not to bring her back. But like I said, it was precisely the teasing and the unknown that made her such a fascinating character in the first place and perhaps that's why they've added the mystery of her crime, the murder of "a very good man". The mischief and hidden agenda and also her connection with the Doctor actually makes her more of a Catwoman 66 than Lady Christina De Souza was. The angels are much more aggressive, action-packed and in-your-face (literally) so this is ALIEN vs. ALIENS, but they cause a lot of trouble and that's what's supposed to happen. I wonder if the crack in time and space that can make events un-exist was based on The Twilight Zone episode AN WHEN THE SKY WAS OPENED. It all goes back to the crack in the wall of little Amy's room and that also makes it very LOST. But to me, more important than watching a fantastic story was to see this new Doctor coming to life for the first time since his regeneration. Christopher Eccleston's Doctor was a bit dark and moody, David Tennant was cocky and cheeky but Matt Smith's Doctor is the most alien one. A semi-awkward, semi-autistic mad wizard who is less aware of his TimeLordiness. Totally disrespectful in his "life" jokes to dead Sacred Bob, not in a sadistic way but more like someone who can only see the bigger picture. This makes the occasional emotional outburst all the more effective, I think. Of course I have no idea what's to come, but in this episode it felt like watching a quintessential version of Doctor Who. Again, I have no idea how it compares to Classic Who and what fans consider to be the "standard".
