Doctor Who - Discussion Thread II

Original post by lizolove

I like the Daleks. Although, I much agree, I don't find them as scary as any others like the weeping angels. :eek:

I did think the return of the daleks was good though. I feel like they should probably start evolving though, their 'speed' is just abysmal. Feel like Rory could have casually strolled through the room and still been fine in Episode 1. (':

In fairness, those Daleks were only just waking up again. For what were daleks considered too dangerous by the daleks, they were grossly underpowered, but they weren't going to be at full power straight off.

True. But the daleks who weren't in the asylum were quite slow too. I want to see Daleks going mega speed. (':

I don't think they were slower than normal, and if they were not by much.

Dalek episodes are amongst my worst, possibly because I don't find them scary at all, I can't take them seriously they just look like pimped up wheelybins. Weeping Angels are truly terrifying, as have worked well with both Tennant and Smith I would live to see them again

Wheelie-bin monsters were done in NS1E1 with the one that 'ate' Mickey :tongue:

As seen last week, there's no actual point in separate episode threads. We have a clear 'no spoiler' policy here and the poll can be changed every week. The discussion is always the same in both threads too. :smile:

I'll probably catch this episode later; have Private International Law cases to read. :emo:

Lesson learnt: Don't eat whilst watching Doctor Who, or you'll miss crucial parts in the episode. :frown:

Why didn't the robot man cross the town's border originally?
Also, the robot man's voice is so deep, I can't understand what he is saying. ¬_¬

He didn't cross it originally to avoid killing innocents - same reason he pulled out of shooting when Rory and the sheriff were running.

I can't decide about that episode. I liked the moral grayness in the middle, but then it seemed to stop being so complicated with no further consideration. I also didn't understand the idea of a war machine that announced its intentions before carrying them out - if I were a war mechanic I would feel that that added a certain degree of predictability.

On the plus side, next week's episode looks interesting :smile:

Ah right, ok, thanks. But didn't he aim for Rory and the Sheriff?

I fell asleep halfway through that. All I remember is Kryten wandering around the Wild West with a gun for an arm. :erm:

I just burst out laughing when I was watching the Next Time trailer, oh Rory.
