Hi Guys,
i am really excited to see this episode ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’ because like the title already says it has Daleks in it. Also they promised me UNIT – I miss understood that. They mend a organisation LIKE UNIT not UNIT itself – and there is nothing i love more than them. So i have a high expectance for it.
So in the first episode we see the military that does hear what the Doctor says. Ace didn’t get warm with me and of course some Daleks. And for the first time in the classic we see that Daleks could climb stairs. But the second episode don’t is very interesting. Ace is not getting any sympathy. I hope there is coming a lot more to her character. She is brutal and a little dump.
So in the third episode you see a few things i don’t know what i should think about it. The little girl who is everywhere is working for the Daleks. It is – i don’t know – there is nothing in the episode I specially like. For me it is like they wanted to do something like UNIT, but for me they don’t succeed. There is not really a chemistry between the people and the Doctor. The character for me are to stereotype, to flat… there is totally no UNIT feeling coming up, just stupid army people. Even the ‘betrayal’ of someone don’t get me because, who cares. I don’t get any of the characters.
I hope for really good characters, I hoped for Mike, Benton, or the Brig. Characters like that make a story good. But this is for me (and of course some of the reasons are my ‘freudscher’ reading mistake) a totally disappointment.
You could make so much more out of the fight Daleks against Daleks… i am really disappointed. The only good think is that we see the dark side of the Doctor. The fourth Doctor had the order to eliminated the threat of the Daleks on the roots. But he couldn’t do it. He couldn’t do a genocide on the Daleks, even after everything they will do. But the seventh Doctor just destroyed Skaros. He destroyed a whole planet without much thought. That is a totally different Doctor that is a Doctor which is far away from the way he walked long ago. He wanted to see the galaxy, he wanted to explored the universe, than he wanted to make a differents, he wanted to save everyone and now he is becoming a warrior, he is becoming something dark. You can totally see that some day he will become the Valeyard.
