A descent and unique Dalek episode, I thought this showed how dangerous and resourceful even one Dalek can be. Wasn't to much of a fan of Ryan's Dad's storyline, felt like a worse version of Clyde's story in SJA.

However, the story is really let down for me by what feels like increadibly clunky dialogue. There are also a few pacing issues in my opinion. Overall, it is by no means terrible, but I would be extremely hesitant to call it good. Like Liked 2 18 July 2024 · 100 words Review by WhoPotterVian Spoilers 3 This review contains spoilers! Pretty epic. Love the episode's snazzy Dalek redesign, the extra weaponry and just how cunning the recon scout Dalek is. Its new abilities are amazing too; I was genuinely horrified when it took over Lynn - much better than the Moffat era Dalek puppets. And then when you thought the Dalek had been defeated with the microwave (what would typically be the RTD era Dalek solution) but the Kaled mutant had actually taken over Aaron Sinclair's body - possibly one of the best fake resolutions in any Doctor Who episode ever. Chibnall wrote a belter of a Dalek story here. Like Liked 3 10 July 2024 · 75 words Review by CyberEmily Spoilers 3 This review contains spoilers! This was probably one of my favorite dalek episodes, I adore the idea of a dalek taking over someone's body and the build up to the reveal was perfect. It was also really cool to see a dalek being resourceful and trying to survive, rebuilding it's casing with it's old parts and whatever it can find. This was just such an interesting idea to explore and overall this was a very fun one to watch. Like Liked 3 Show All Reviews (7) Open in new window Statistics AVG.

(A long time ago, on the battlefields of Britain, an army of enemies came together to face an impossible opponent beyond their wildest nightmares. This unlikely army fought and won the bloodiest of battles... but only just. Their opponent had been so remorseless, the fear it placed in them was absolute. So they made a pact. They split their opponent's vanquished body into three pieces to be buried at opposite ends of the world, and vowed the burial sites would be forever guarded, as a precaution. ) (Anuta Island, South Pacific. Siberia, Russia.) (The three swore an oath of secrecy. The terrifying opponent was to be erased from history. The Three Custodians undertook their long journeys across land and sea, locating isolated sites and carrying out their tasks with monastic dedication. Passing their duties down through the generations, to protect the future, the Custodians were unyielding.) (The Custodians guard the holes they have buried their bundles in. Back in Yorkshire, England, a lone horseman is shot down by an archer.) Show Full Transcript Open in new window
