Já logo aviso que “Brotherhood Of The Daleks” é uma história caótica no sentido de que, ou você vai amar ou odiar esse áudio. Bom, mas falando de mim - Nossa, é algo difícil de acompanhar, não que falte boas ideias, não...longe disso. O problema é quando a história começa amontoar as coisas, a escrita acaba confundindo embaralhando todas as peças a se juntar quando mistura a realidade e as simulações, você fica com aquela sensação de estar a todo momento tentando desfazer um nó muito complicado para voltar rapidamente a entrar em sintonia com o que está acontecendo. Em algumas partes isso me incomodou muito, até mesmo me remeteu a aquele ritmo alucinante exagerado e chatão visto em vários casos do New Who. Enfim, eu fico em um meio termo, pude reconhecer que o áudio tem sim ótimos conceitos e ótimas ideias, mas acabou se tornando algo difícil de se acompanhar.

I should warn you right away that "Brotherhood Of The Daleks" is a chaotic story in the sense that you'll either love it or hate it. Well, speaking for myself - gosh, it's something hard to follow, not that there's a lack of good ideas, not at all... far from it. The problem is when the story starts to pile things up, the writing ends up confusing and jumbling all the pieces together when it mixes reality and simulations, you get that feeling of being constantly trying to untangle a very complicated knot to quickly get back in tune with what's happening. In some parts, this bothered me a lot, it even reminded me of that exaggerated, annoying frantic pace seen in many New Who cases. In the end, I'm on the fence, I could recognize that the audio indeed has great concepts and great ideas, but it ended up being something difficult to follow.

Thal-plant hybrid tries to incite a communist revolution amongst the Daleks through use of psychedelics. Yeah, this is an odd one.

Frankly, I can't make heads or tails of the message of this one, and I kept losing track of who was a Dalek duplicate, but the dynamic between Six and Charley is excellent; they have a strong emotional arc throughout the story and both Baker and Fisher clearly acted their hearts out.

Overall, confusing but entertaining, with a hard to parse political angle. In other words, solid Who. 7/10.

Okay this had a great first part, and then I can't really remember what happened between the second and third, so this would be a 2,5 or 3/5.

Except for the fact that we have communist Daleks in here, controlled by a plant that a Thal has planted into them so they can go and carry the bolshevik revolution across time and space, and I just have to applaud that crazy af idea.

And the best part is that the Doctor agrees with that, although knowing the Daleks he thinks of a way for them to kill themselves if they ever go back to their old ways (which of course they do).

Don't know what to think, the end more than makes up for the slog that is the middle part of this story, so yeah, a 3,5/5.

I love it when the Doctor is so based.

Great Dalek story, though this had a lot going on. I maybe need to do another listen at some point. Sixth Doctor and Charley are so great together and I loved their banter. I just wish Charley would manage to reveal the truth to the Doctor about who she is... which she kinda did but it was a duplicate Doctor. Other than that it's kinda fun how suspicious Six is of Charley constantly, like 'how do you know what a dalek is' ;D But yeah, loved this.
