I'm kind of thinking of the whole of 'Daleks!' as one story, so, will collect my thoughts on the series here. I thought the mechanoid voice acting was excellent, but the animation style was really not my thing. The whole "beautiful" idea was intriguing - the Mechanoids calling technology and synchronicity beautiful, showing they had real emotions beyond Dalek hate, whilst what the Daleks found beautiful was their enemies' destruction. A mostly well-written series (not counting one episode that I feel really let the series down) that always made me excited for the next part of the story while still feeling like it had a satisfying ending. There were even gripping relationship dynamics explored well, which I didn't see coming in a miniseries about some Daleks fighting - I loved how the Dalek-Mechanoid relationships felt like the Mechanoids were trying to broaden Dalek horizons, make them see beauty, but in the end, a Dalek can never know friendship or love, because a Dalek knows only hate. Doomed from the start - we should have known things would end this way. Daleks don't change. Daleks don't see beauty beyond destruction.
A lovely series that is well worth the watch - 4/5.
