I'm sure if you ask them nicely they'll bring back these guys

Cool.
Any Palyars?

And, given that the Cult of Skaro have all seen the Doctor's current incarnation, why haven't any of 'em recognised him, eh? He's right there!

Narrow field of vision?

I was just making an obscure referance

I was referancing the game Mercenary: Escape from Targ
Had a unseen war between Palyars and Mechonoids.

It was the Mechonoids in the game that actualy looked like Darlek's, however.
(well, there was only one, but he looked like a Darlek. Didnt like being picked up either)

Which is why he was hiding behind everyone else and told Martha to go ask the Daleks what they were up, because they'd spot him otherwise. Or so it sounded like to me...

You'd think they'd be on the lookout for a sonic screwdriver's power source all the time. I mean, I would. If I was a Dalek. Y'know.

Oooh, lumme. I'd never be able to have a bacon sarnie again. No wonder they're angry all the time.

I thought the next evolutionary stage for
daleks would be the addition of a spatula
or some tongs or something.

Nah. It'd be squiggly aliens inside a mini tank inside a larger squiggly alien. Optional: inside another tank.

"The Mechanoids Say. 'Put back our leader!'"

I liked that episode. I hope the next part is going to be as good.

On a side note, Wikipedia has a very interesting entry on The Master. (Has potential spoilers tho various stories from Dr. Who)

I thought their number was up in the tunnels, but I'm still waiting for

Theory that might be a spoiler wrote:Martha to accidentally touch a Dalek, so they realise she's a time traveller

I actualy imagined that in a Dalek voice too :p

Also, to be fair, the Palyar's commander isn't too happy about what I did too his brother in law either

does any one think that the dalek hybrids will be able to step back into their dalek shells if needs be, like puting a suit of amour on?

the whole life outside the shell line didnt seem to rule this out

plus i doubt terry nations estate would allow em to do a story that would totally do away with the old fashioned daleks

Dunno - but another thing I thought of is that - Since there are (currently) only 4 Daleks from the cult, then aren't they only going to create 4 hybrids from the human subjects anyway?

Wheeeeeeeeee! 'citing innit!?

EDIT (spoilerish for those that didn't see it):

Ahh, actually - until the Empire State Building doodad gets its energy burst presumably whereby more daleks will no doubt appear.

I really can't help but wonder what the Dalek endgame is gonna be.

Yeah, same here, and not just because of the way it looks. What an utterly shit idea. Let's just take away everything that made the Daleks cool, and dangerous, and make them look ridiculous at the same time. Woot.

IronGiant wrote:Given that Helen Raynor has written the forthcoming Daleks two-parter, I'm curious as to her writing credentials

See above

Also, I thought the title of the episode was particularly lazy, and shit. Something as simple as "The Empire State" would have been much better. That took me, like, 0.1 seconds to think of.

The inclusion of Daleks makes it a good episode by default, but it was still the worst episode involving Daleks ever, IMO.

While I'm here - I don't know why people keep going on about The Master like they want him to appear. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't every single episode involving him, like, dull as fuck?
