This is a very weird story, but I sure enjoyed it more than I didn't. Compared to the rest of Season 22, it does feel a bit like a masterpiece, but I'm not so sure it is totally immune to the larger, troubling trends of this season, it just mitigates that with a lot of creative content around the Daleks. Look, even by this point in the show's history, the Daleks can get a little repetitive, but this feels anything but the usual Dalek affair. I really like the body horror elements around the Glass Dalek, but tragically, that stuff does feel minimal compared to the larger nature of the story and its scope. Yet that other stuff is pretty good, too. Peri and the Doctor don't quite feel like the nightmares they've been all season, while the stuff with Davros was pretty well done overall. Still, it feels like a nice culmination of what has come so far in the 80s Dalek stories, and I have to say I am largely on board with these takes on the Daleks. I was definitely entertained overall and that compares well to a lot of the other lesser Dalek stories that come before and after Revelation of the Daleks. That's really all one can ask for.
