mrv3000 | Evolution of the Daleks

Oh, man. So the Doctor offered up his life for the people behind him, which isn't unusual. But it was the *way* he did it. "DO IT! DO IT! JUST DO IT!! DO IT!" Like the round and round cars in Gridlock, the Daleks always survive when he loses everything. And it seemed like he just wanted it all to stop. :(
Heh. Davros mention. Well, they didn't actually say his name.
Couldn't *exactly* figure out why the Doctor was helping to create a new race. That whole reasoning is a bit fuzzy in my mind. And I thought it was a solar flare that was supposed to give power to these people, but lightning did it?
The Doctor's really got a problem with his screwdriver this series. Must. Not. Make. Jokes.
The red shoes! Okay, the TARDIS makes stuff. *nods*
Yeah. Why...why've they got the humandalek chained up like a pet?
So we wind up with human-dalek-Time-Lords? But they're killed anyway, so trying to figure out their genetic makeup is probably just a waste of time.
And the Dalek escapes. Right. So, money on the finale?
Overall, it was...okay. Kinda doubt I'll be needing to see this episode again. Think I was too confused by motivations, and the insta-"humanity is wonderful and we must give up our war-like ways!" by the humandalek was a bit trite - have seen that good old getting a taste of humanity thing in sci-fi so many times before.

I think it's really amusing that you're consistently seeing the episodes before I am, considering that before the series started you were all about wanting me to watch them and tell you about it first. Hee.

SHHHHHH!

The Doctor is in a really bad place. He offered himself up to the Daleks to kill twice, for Pete's sake, with absolutely no expectation that he'd survive. I'm sorry Rose is gone, Doctor, but you really need to snap out of it. Rose would whack you upside the head if she could see you now.

When I imagined S3, I *honestly* did not see him in such a place of despair. Well, you've read my post-Doomsday fic - I imagined him going on pretty much as usual, his mind wandering to her in the quiet moments and *very* private about her. He'd not even mentioned Rose's name to Martha in all the time she was there (until the plot kicked in.)

But I guess if you think of it that while the Doctor was healing from the Time War, he definitely wasn't recovered. And so you had the person who was helping him heal being taken away, which not only ripped open that old wound, but added another wound to it.

I think that he was thinking that they'd be different from the Daleks and that the Daleks would no longer be rampaging across the universe killing everything inferior if he did it. But very hazy logic, to me.

Yeah, I guess. But why help make them at all? Does the universe need a new race?

*snerk* Dear, this is Doctor Who science! It's not supposed to make sense! *handwave*

*flails*

... because the producers/writers thought it looked cool? I thought it looked ridiculous, personally.

Yeah. Heh. They came out with him on this leash chain, and I had a "WHY?" reaction. Probably only because I'd had several other "WHY?" reactions already.

I enjoyed it while I was watching it, but I find it's best not to think about it too much.

*switches off brain*
