📝5/10 = MIDDLING!

Time Lording through time and space, one victory at a time! This time: showtime of the Daleks, part III!

Part 3 brings back the Mechanoids from The Chase, as the Daleks are forced to attempt to ally with them. I’m sort of growing to like their version of the Dalek Emperor, and it’s interesting to see the Mechanoid Queen as well (she has a cute crown). The Mechanoid voices are vastly improved from the original voices.

I like the little tension formed between the Emperor and Strategist, who tackle the problem from slightly different angles.

This is another talky one, mostly centred on the Dalek and Mechanoid leaders conferring. A lot of the writing focuses on highlighting the differences between the Daleks and the Mechanoids. The tail end erupts into a battle between the races, who don’t see eye to eye on anything, and the Emperor leading the Entity straight to Mechanus.

Sadly, the version of Mehcnaus seen here is uglier and less interesting than the one seen in The Chase.
