What should the next Dalek story be about? SPOILERS

[Candlelight]

OK, we've got the new Daleks. Clearly it was meant to be a springboard into a future Dalek story; when that's gonna occur is anyone's guess.

What should it be about? Should we see the Doctor stumbling across the Jackson Five trying to rebuild their empire? Or maybe trying to take on the galaxy themselves?

Will they go the way of the Cult of Skaro and only last one other story*? Or go on to become a recurring group of villains for the Doctor?

*Anyone else miffed by this? I mean, not only was it a sub-par two-parter (although in retrospect I enjoyed it more than Victory) but they also killed off the first recurring Dalek enemy after Davros.

Anyone think we'll see the classic style Daleks again? I heard the redesign was due to a health and safety issue for operators or something, so I'm guessing not... sadly...

 

[Kelso]

I think they should try to destroy the Earth and/or universe.

Don't be silly, they'd never play that angle, can you imagine if they succeeded?

 

[Candlelight]

I think they should try to destroy the Earth

Or conquer it.

Nah, that'll never happen.

What have we had so far:

Dalek - Whiny Dalek in near-current-time killing a few people before tops himself.
Parting - Emperor and thousands of Daleks take on future Earth and decimate it, but all die
Doomsday - Four Daleks survive in Void ship, take on present day Earth, fail but escape
Manhatten/Evolution - The Cult try to create a human army in 1930s New York. Big epic fail. Three die, one escapes
Journey's End - Davros, Caan and shit loads of Daleks steal present day Earth to erase all of history. Fail, all but three Daleks die
Victory - Three Daleks piss about in WW2, create five more then ask to die themselves, then not much happens.

I assume it will be about the Doctor protecting a plent of the thriving Dalek empire, and when the people of the planet find out that it was him or let them survive to save one planet, they get mad, and the Doctor faces up to the galactic consequences of his actions.

Due to an issue with the GPS they attack and destroy Pluto.

since its no longer a planet & to the best of my knowledge no one lives on it (in either the real world, or the Whoverse) would it matter?

It plays into the larger arc where we learn that Neil deGrasse Tyson is the big bad.

*looks up Neil deGrasse Tyson*

yeah why not, ive enjoyed his interviews on The Daily Show.

This plots sounds interesting.

 

[DeadmeatDiggory]

As long as its not another episode with The Doctor stopping the Daleks once and for all again, only to find that one surviving once again to rebuld... after four seasons that shits getting old.

He already took us down to eight planets. How many people can claim that?

well im guessing it wasnt just on his say so, that Pluto was reclassified.

Him and his deplanetafication ray. Now I just need to contact the Moff about this, it will be brilliant.

is it possible that he was built by the Daleks?

Possibly, but he escapes their control and goes far beyond anything they would do.

I dont know, I think destroying or flying a planet is worse than having it reclassified as a planetoid, I mean im pretty sure that The Shadow Proclamation have there own way of deciding what is, and what isnt a planet.

It's part of a rather complicated and insidious real estate scheme. Classify a planet as a planetoid, then you can buy for a discounted price. But what if the planet had special properties?

Granted most of the episode would deal with filling out forms and a huge legal battle between Tyson and the Daleks who were using the planet as a summer home, it would still be slightly better than those Slitheen episodes.

this is why you are the evil galactic genius and im not.

Did anyone else think that the Daleks will soon split up and start their own armies each, each claiming to be the pure Daleks?
