📝4/10 = MIDDLING!
Time Lording through time and space, one victory at a time! This time: showtime of the Daleks, part II!
The second part changes things up, as Skaro is put under attack after the Archivians betrayed the Daleks to an entity that exists outside time itself. The Emperor and Strategist are panicking as Skaro is obliterated in another epic battle scene. The situation forces the Daleks to gather reinforcements by contacting The Sentinel of the Fifth Galaxy, who gathers a hidden Dalek army.
Part of the action is set on a desert planet, and the animation looks like something from a PS2-era game. And here we meet the annoying R-41 robot, who thinks the Dalek Sentinel (a Dalek with a classic Dalek design!) is the Dalek Emperor. This second half of the episode is slower and less interesting, as it mostly sees the Sentinel chat with R-41, and it’s just a build-up for later plot developments.
In the end, the Daleks are still pursued by the Entity, and time is running out...
