It was a good episode, but I find the idea of a 'Dalek who just wants to be loved' a bit silly. After watching 'Remeberance of the Daleks' the night before, I expected some really nasty stuff from this Dalek. At least they gave the Daleks a good makeover, so you could really believe they were heartless killing machines. But, like LLL's saying, does anyone else remember the old Doctor Who being all moralistic? I remember a scene with Tom Baker where he berates Leela for killing a bad guy. And Peter Davison's Doctor was always troubled by death. As far I can remember, the Doctor has never killed someone in cold-blood and shouldn't start now. It's a family show remember, that sort of thing isn't really suitable for kids.

I'm new to Doctor Who, as I've only seen all of the new episodes, which I enjoy. What episode/saga/Doctor should I start with if I watch the classics?
Thanks!

Poor lost Dalek! Awesome. Fan-smegging-tastic. Absolutely loved this. Who'd a thought I'd ever feel sorry for a Dalek? A story of redemption and loved the way the roles were reversed - Rose feeling sympathy for the Dalek and the Doctor being the hate crazed maniac. Loved the way the Dalek was still true to itself in the end, it'd rather die than become "human" - "This is not life, this is sickness". Unlike, say, "I, Borg" theres no redemption possible here. The best line went to the Dalek - "You'd make a good Dalek (Doctor)" Should become a classic. Originally posted by Bushmeister:Also am I the only one who prefers those written by guest writers (The Unquiet Dead and Darlek) to those written by Russel T Davies? Although all the episodes so far have been pretty good, there are bits in his episodes which just really grate with me, such as that whole 45 second threat idea and the excessive farting in the two-parter. I know what you mean re: RTD's writing, the joke element just leaves me cold, I mean I just don't find it funny. I quite liked the political satire though, 45 seconds and weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist, oh, and blowing up 10 Downing street, shame Blair wasn't in it, heh.

Thanks! Well, personally I'd start with "Spearhead from Space" a Jon Pertwee adventure as it relates to "Rose" the 1st new Dr Who adventure and it's cracking good story in it's own right, but probably most of the Tom Baker years are the show's glory years especially "Pyramids of Mars", "The Brain of Morbius", "City of Death" "Robots of Death", and "Seeds of Doom" come to mind but there are plenty more. Oh and welcome to PEEL javdav86! Enjoy your stay here.

I choose not to watch the 'Next Week' segment, as it spoils the bewilderment of seeing where the next adventure will take place. However, I don't mind knowing the next episode is called 'Father's Day'.

I thought it was a good episode, Simon Pegg was good in it, I'm glad that other guy got written out at the end he could have got a bit annoying if he'd stayed.

What the fuck are you on about?
Anyway Father’s Day was a really good and emotional episode. I love the story and the plot to it. Billie Piper was really good in it too.

I admit I haven’t seen all the new episodes, but I don’t think this is the best incarnation we’ve been offered. Not really bad, just not as good as it could be. This Doctor somehow seems more manic than eccentric: my memories are of a dandy in a vintage motor and a bloke with an impossibly long scarf and a penchant for jelly babies... what happened to the quirkiness?
And is it just me, or is this version of the theme music... well... a touch lifeless?

I saw 3 new Doctor Who (Ecclestone) novels in Waterstones today. Anyone read them? They're mini hardbacks a la 'A Series Of Unfortunate Events' in a cardboard half-TARDIS.

That plague episode tonight was really good and it’s another two-part story too. It was scary and really exciting too. I am looking forward for the next episode.
