Review of Day of the Daleks by presidentdisastra

This review contains spoilers!

This is a good episode with a nice balance of silly and intense moments. I'm pretty sure it's the first appearance of a clear precursor to the mind probe. I appreciate that among the (human) bad guys, morality is less clear than it seems at first—as is blame. Jo's innocent belief that anyone who treats her well must be in the right is sweet and believable. The Doctor's implied-torture scene is excellent. The timing of cut-aways is used to great effect. Yates and Benton are fantastic. There are great silly moments, like Ogrons chasing a fourwheeler, interspersed with more serious and intense ones. All around, a solid and enjoyable episode with good pacing.
