New Who Review for “Dalek”
Apr. 15th, 2006 01:42 pmThis is going to be shorter than I would have liked but my computer is going in for repair since the screen is blinking which is a short path to no screen. I’m on Peter’s computer until I get mine back *sigh* and I had written up such a nice entry too.
This is the episode that moved me from the “Yea! Dr. Who is back” to the “I must see the next episode camp.” This is the episode where Eccelston proved to me that he is the Doctor. The scene between him and the Dalek where we find out what has happened to both of them is incredible. Eccelston moves so quickly from feeling to feeling and the end of it is just bloody brilliant. Here is where I feel we find out why the Doctor has been acting like he has post-traumatic stress disorder and survivor guilt all rolled into one very tightly wounded package that just might explode or implode at any moment.
I am a bit miffed a SciFi since they cut one scene where the Doctor establishes his credentials as being knowledgeable about alien artifacts when he shows them how some of the stuff they had worked and there is another reference that was cut that makes more sense at the end of the season. Before this we had only lost little things that didn’t add much to the story but this time we lost part of the story. Bad SciFI! No biscuit for you.
I am grateful for fabric sales with rock bottom prices.
