What should the next Dalek story be about? SPOILERS

[Starkers]

I'd like to see the Daleks subtly manipulating things from behind the scenes. Maybe the Doctor intervenes in a war between humans and some other race. He saves the day but at the end we see the Strategist Dalek monitoring things from afar.

"As predicted the Doctor has made peace between the humans and the Zavvi. I predict reduction in defence spending will make the Zavvi vulnerable to invasion within 60 years...activate Time Corridor!"

Is that why they went into administration?

 

[wamdue]

lol the Daleks dont need to wait for the Doctor to do anything, before Zavvi closes.

Ha ha yes, it was all the Dalek's fault.

"Sub prime mortgages...SUB PRIME MORTGAGES!"

I couldn't be bothered to come up with an original alien name

 

[Sparky]

I would like to see them away from Earth and building their army. I am tired of the Daleks always going for broke with grandiose schemes and I am tired of Daleks on Earth. I want to see a story arc with them slowly infiltrating and manipulating worlds around the galaxy to suit their own needs. Obviously the plans so far have failed so hopefully the new pure Daleks realize that and come up with something more subtle. If these creatures are truely the Doctor's arch nemesis then they shouldn't be defeated by the DoctorDonna flipping a switch to spin them around or by holding a cookie in their face to hold them off.

*cough*

Eventually, though preferably not for their next appearance, I would like to see them put some effort into unlocking the time war in order to reclaim something they need to fully return to their previous pwer. Thus forcing the Doctor to return into the time war to stop them, and to be confronted with the choice to stop his previous self or not (having divised some cleverness that could -potentially- end the war without killing everyone). It could also be used as a way to bring back the Master and some other time lords to set up future plots. Such events would also offer some closure as the Doctor finally accepts that he did in fact make the right choice.

RTD tied a bow in the Time War... let's move on to something else.

 

[Cutter John]

I'd love to see them go back to their old ways. Like keeping slave races as grunts.

Unfortunately the Time War screwed up the few dalek story ideas I had from back in the day. Mainly by getting rid of the Movellans.

* The Doctor turns up on a moon with a destroyed Mevellan outpost, and spends the rest of the story trying to outsmart a heavily armed dalek probe thats hunting him.

* Doctor lands on a planet where human colonists and Daleks are fighting off a hostile race from a neighboring planet. Except that the Dalek cases are being driven by members of a local friendly alien species (I remember mine looked like giant fruit bats) using casings scavenged from a crashed dalek cruiser.

But, I still think having the Doctor forced to team up with the daleks against a common enemy could work.

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

Already did that story though, way back in Sylvester McCoys day.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

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

Yah, same thing they do every night.

I like where you are coming from, Sparky. Have you ever listened to the Dalek Empire Big Finish audios ?

 

[Admiral_Young]

Dalek Pinky: What are we going to do next episode Dalek Brain?

Dalek Brain: The same thing we do every episode Dalek Pinky...try to take over the world!!! EXTERMINATE!!!

Dalek Pinky: EXTERMI-NARF!!!

When I heard minor spoilers about this episode I thought we were gonna see some reference to that BF story where they find another universe of Daleks, who instantly go batshit crazy on each other.

I thought that was a fascinating political allegory - you had these alt universe daleks who seemed to be the good guys, diametrically opposite the fascist daleks from our universe, but who in their quest for galactic peace and order become just as intolerant and authoritarian as 'our' daleks.

 

[Admiral_Young]

To be serious I'd like to see a Time War story too...I disagree with the poster who stated we've touched on the Time War and that the lock and RTD have locked it away again. I think if Moffat wanted to he could use the Daleks and the War again. Outside of that idea I've no idea.

 

[Candlelight]

As much as I hate multi-Doctor stories, it would be nice to show, maybe in flashback, Paul McGann fighting on Arcadia as it falls, Davros escaping the Nightmare Child, the fnal battle in the skies above Gallifrey and maybe what causes #8 to regenerate.

Perhaps a TV movie...

It'd make a nice change from the usual 'the Doctor on his own' Christmas special.

That's what I was thinking of, just thought this was a set up to that again.

 

[KevasTrader]

Davros returns, sees what has happened to his creation, declares the Rainbow Daleks an abomination and destroys them using mind bullets! The Doctor and Davros shake hands and play football on Christmas Day. Normal hostility resumes on Boxing Day with proper Daleks.
