Review of The Mutant Phase by RandomJoke

16 June 2025

This review contains spoilers!

I was ready to expect at best a fine story, at worst a forgettable one, but to my Surprise, I thought this one was actually excellent! While I can see why some wouldn't think much of it, to me, it clicks all the right Buttons

5 and Nyssa have such an intriguing Chemistry here, their Conversations are for me, easily the Highlight of the Story. I also quite liked what they did with the Thals here, I must admit ever since the original Daleks Story and Genesis, I don't really think much interesting has been done with the Thals, so this one was a delightful surprise to me. And while I am big Fan for the Daleks in general (I just think they are great), I appreciate it quite a lot how they handle them here, in particular when the Emperor asks 5 for his Help was something I didn't expect but quite enjoyed. Now, is that the most original Thing ever you can do with the Daleks? Of course not. But I liked it.

I will say I couldn't care less for the Mystery Aspect of this Release and I thought Episode 4 kinda lost me a bit, but I genuinely thought the first 3 Episodes were quite engaging and a pretty good Dalek Story!
