"Resting" the Daleks

[muldwych who]

To be honest its a long time coming, im glad they are getting a rest for a couple of seasons.

I would like to see some other "old" monsters come back that haven't been yet and also would love them to make the Autons as scary as they used to be with the troll.

Moffat seems to be walking back the "for a while" comment on Twitter. Quoth the Moff: "Daleks: I was talking about THIS series. Stand down."

Bwah-ha-ha-ha!

My thought was, "Guess that means the Daleks are still in the mix for Christmas."

I can see the Radio Times cover now. A bunch of Fatleks covered in snow and shot from the front...

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Well, one series break is better than none...

^ Fatleks? I've not heard that before lol. I prefer calling them Power Ranger Daleks. The Matt Smith three year contract thing does seem like an internet urban myth.

Or Skittles Daleks

I think they're going to have a RTD Dalek vs Power Ranger Daleks. Which is too big for one episode when Moffat seems determined to use his own stuff.

I don't think Moffat ever really wanted the Daleks back under his reign but the BBC seemingly pressured the return of them and the new look to push merchandise. I don't think we will ever see them return under Moffat's era and really they should only come back in full force when we have a return of the timelords.

LOL, I was just about to repost what I said on Facebook, that I bet he just means they won't be in the second half of this season either, and would be in the Xmas Special... and it seems he agrees!

Maybe it was just me but the way the new Daleks were introduced felt like the debut of new cars at a car show.

Having an office basement that they'd barely made any effort to make not look like an office basement as their spaceship didn't help either.

Well, The Doctor did say their ship was a wreck so maybe that section was the best they had.

incidentally, if you read it in the original interview, in today's Radio Times, it's clear he's talking about just season 6.

I really liked the newest doctor's Delek story from World World 2, it was a lot of fun.

That and I liked that Steven Moffat did away with RTD's Dalek's and created his own. All though they have only been seen once since then but who knows what the future holds.

A bit of a shame he caved on his original comment. I like the idea of them turning up every few years as a surprise with a truly epic story rather than their annual 'contractural obligation' appearances of the past few years.

He didn't "cave." He was only ever talking about Series Six, and people misinterpreted it.

In the last few years I've learned one thing, never trust a writer or executive producer when they say something.
