I don't disagree with that but it was only a possibility until the Time War. The classic series they were never shown to reach that level (thanks to Davros and the Dalek Civil War). Even Big Finish knows that it's a creative dead end to make them as powerful as they were during the Time War.
I don't know. The most recent appearance of the Daleks in the eighth Doctor range has the Daleks trying to fly the Earth around in time to shoot plagues at people. It's like a combination of The Dalek Invasion of Earth and "Journey's End' with extra stupidity and less emotional resonance.
I think a story where the Doctor has to stop four badass Daleks on a colony planet/spaceship (so you don't know if the Daleks will win or not) would be awesome.
Barring that, they could just bring back the mentally stunted Dalek and the coughing Dalek from The Chase.

WTF? Lucy Miller and the Doctor's grandson died during that story. Yeah I agree it was extra stupid but it was pretty emotional nonetheless. Plus they only accomplished what they did with the help of the Meddling Monk and a Dalek time controller from the future.
Except the colony/spaceship that's basically the plot of Daleks in Manhattan.
That sounds alot like Power Of The Daleks.
Finally get rid of those scooterchair/dildo shells and replace them with exact replicas of Amy.
With a plunger...somewhere.

I'm just being mean, I know. The Lucie stuff was good, though they sure brushed over what happened to Alex. Not even Susan cared.
The Dalek plan, though, was just stupid.
So if you take out everything but the Doctor and the Daleks, it's the same story? Well, yes. And with "Daleks in Manhattan" you knew the Doctor was gonna win because no Dalek army ever overran Central Park in the 1930s. (Also, I said "badass Daleks," not "the Cult of Skaro and the Pig Men.")
I am not sure if it is the colors or the shape that bothers me most about the new ones.
Personally I like the new Daleks. First they're BIG. I always felt as Daleks gained more power they should increase in size and it always felt weird that everybody looked down at the most powerful beings in the universe. Second I like the new caste system and it may lead to stories about the different interactions the Doctor has with each of the different factions (especially the scientist and the mysterious eternal Daleks)
I remember not liking the white Imperial Daleks and the Time war era bronze Daleks but they both grew on me, so I'm not going to complain about the color.
I love the colors; it's the hunchback that bothers me.
I thought the size was fine all that powere packed into a small space. I liked the new Dalek eyes they did.
Since when has killing Davros stopped him from showing up again?
Did you see a dead body? If not, he ain't dead, he's only believed dead
Davros should have died after Genesis. It was a good ending. Better for the Daleks, better for Davros' story.
Although I liked how he was handled in New Who. They seemed to blindly follow him, but it was actually apparent he was as much a prisoner as everyone else.
