they probaly had something to do with the new redesign as wellI would expect too seem them in the 2nd season finale in 2011 but I hope we get a non Dalek season next year.
Daleks have to appear every year. Nation Estate orders.

That's never been anything more than a fan rumour, though, has it?Daleks have to appear every year. Nation Estate orders.
The set report for Victory of the Daleks in the next issue of DWM should shed some light on that...Gatiss wrote a World War II script for the fourth season that RTD ultimately didn't go forward with. I've wondered the past day or two how much of that script may have been recycled into "Victory of the Daleks." (I should note that, as far as I know, that rejected script did not involve the Daleks.)
Right, because Steven Moffat has never written a Doctor Who story about companions and allies of the Doctor who are in love with him.![]()
Looks like the rule is going to be: when something's bad, keep blaming RTD as long as possible. If we like it, credit to Moffat.
In fact, credit and blame now both need to be attributed to the folks actually making the show now. This is fundamental.
Romance and romantic tension of one kind or another for the Doctor has been a strong component of Moffat's DW work for quite some time now. That's a good thing, and I'm more than willing to credit him rather than Davies with it.![]()
And the RTD Knee-Jerk Defense Team enters the area!

written specifically to be the "moment" in the episode where "emotions conquer all" is, by plot definition, Russel Davies.
Whether you view that good or bad is your own backyard to play in. But, just because it's so obvious as to be pointed out, don't get your panties in a twist. Being observant and being critical are two different things. Perhaps some will learn that soon...![]()

Dude, there was nothing out of the blue about it. Moffat had Amy clearly already smitten with the Doctor in episode one, and they've only re-enforced that in episodes two and three.

No, that's a Moffat trope...I'm not even questioning whether it was good or bad. I'm just saying, these tropes you're ascribing to RTD are Moffat tropes, too, and it's ridiculous to say they're from one but not the other.
Well that was... rubbish
I can't think of anything redeeming about it after the Daleks blew their cover. It started somewhat interestingly, and very quickly went downhill from there on.
The direction for the show is a bit off putting. I'm not sure if it's the new Doctor or the new fellow at the helm, but it just seemed to meander from here to there rather quickly and then it was all over.
So the Daleks are back, escaping, just. And there's another crack. And the companion fancies the Doctor. More than ever, the episodes feel like a setup for the season finale. Fair enough, we get that in exchange for the longer stories of the old Who. But it just makes the episodes feel like so much of a means to an end, where will the crack appear when the camera falls?!
Maybe next week will redeem everything, but that's a bit maybe. By this stage of the previous two Doctor's run, I was quite happy with the way things were going.
Well I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I am finding that this forum is descending into a place for pointless nitpicking and bitching which it never used to be.

I hope your being ironic there![]()
Shearman felt a little burned out on Who. Rumor has it he and Davies had a falling out, but really, he may just have been tired; he'd written a bunch for Big Finish (including the superlative "Deadline"), then "Dalek" (which went through an insane number of drafts, something like nine or ten), all in generally quick succession. Taking some time away to recharge the batteries makes sense. And he's been rumored to have talked with Moffat, possibly for the next season.Its always amazed me that [Rob Shearman] hasn't written anymore episodes other than Dalek?
But people on here have always been nitpicky, especially when it came to RTD episodes. I haven't noticed it getting worse. there are a few more polarised viewpoints lately but it's still overall a nice forum I think.
At least there was a decent explanation there. Through her admitting to be his mother they recognized that his DNA and physiology should be like hers and could fix their mistakes.No, that's a Moffat trope, too. I mean, the nanogenes just happen to figure out that they weren't supposed to turn the Human race into gas-mask zombies because Nancy finally said she was the Child's mummy and that she loved him? Seriously? If that's not a "the power of love conquers all" moment, I don't know what is.written specifically to be the "moment" in the episode where "emotions conquer all" is, by plot definition, Russel Davies.
