Oh, you want a proper review?<\/p>\n
This was Doctor Who<\/cite> myth building at its best – taking a classic, hell the<\/em> classic, monster and updating it whilst staying true to the orginal; and revealing more about the Time War backstory.<\/p>\n When I first heard that this episode would feature just one Dalek I thought that it would be acting in an Alien\/Terminator\/Predator fashion. And it did. This is what the Daleks have always been like in our mind’s eye. But this Dalek was more than that. This Dalek was a character, a real genuine character.<\/p>\n Oh, and the human and Time Lord characters were good in this one as well.<\/p>\n I f***ing loved this episode.<\/p>\n And isn’t it odd when you compare the Science Fiction that was on screen quarter of a century ago and now? Star Wars. Doctor Who. Battlestar Galactica. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. So when can we expect the Blake’s 7 revival?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How fantastic was that? 10\/10 Oh, you want a proper review?
