I'm currently doing a series of polls on Series 1 episodes so I though why not do the same for the Classic Series? Bear in mind I can only do for those which I have on DVD but I'm curious as to what you think of them. For 'Remembrance of the Daleks' I chose 4 Stars (Very Good).

Good story but a bit slow moving. One of the best McCoy stories.

Another four out of five from me. I agree that this was one of the finer McCoy stories with some nice hints about the Doctor's background. The ending could perhaps be a major turning point leading up to the Time War, but even if it's not it's still great.  |

Ahh yes, there's another point, should the Doctor really have tricked Davros into blowing up Skaro's sun? There's a point up for debate. |

4/5. Remembrance is good where Revelation fails: maybe they found some more money to create some decent battle between the two Daleks factions or maybe they just realized that there's no point in having the two factions in a story if they end up just shooting each other a couple of blasts anyway I found this story much more appealing than Revelation.

I rather like the ending to Episode One. The infamous "Dalek climbing up the stairs scene." Nearly put me off Doctor Who for life that did!Yep, good episode. Good Story.  |

Also ties their history into knots rather nicely too! ;D

Yes, but no more than Dr Who tends to do anyway.

So, if the show had ended for good, the perfect send off for the over sized pepperpots with a bad attitude? |

I gave this story 5/5. This is the story that got me hooked into the show. A friend showed it to me one day (for whatever reason) and that was it. The 7th Doctor was my favorite Doctor for a long time and Ace was my favorite companion. This story was so awesome in so many ways, subtle hints of previous stories, ie. Totters Yard, Brigadier. This would have been a better 25th anniversary story than Silver Nemesis. Ironically, as this is the story that got me hooked line and sinker into the show, it happen to be the first (and so far only) DVD that I have.

My favourite Who story of all time. So I think it's obvious where I stand on this almost, but not quite, perfect story. With today's budget it would be perfect but I digress... Should the Doctor have blown up Skaro? He didn't. Davros did. He does entrap Davros, yes. But Davros has had chance after chance after chance at redemption and a resolution to his insanity. The Doctor could have shot him at gunpoint. The little runt should have taken the hint by now. The Doctor chose not to kill the Daleks once. It was a good decision then. He let time run it's course. Here he can wipe them out and there will be relatively little mess, little consequence and no damage to the web of time. We don't know there are Thals left on Skaro, and to be fair, the War of the Daleks thing seems like a lie anyway - Davros certainly believes the Doctor blows up Skaro in Terror Firma. So the Doctor blows it up. Cleanly. Neatly. Except I reiterate - he doesn't do it, Davros does. Yes, the Doctor gives him a loaded pistol. He gives Davros the arrogance to believe he is infallible. But he also does what Doctor 10 calls 'a chance'. Rather than let Davros just run off with the Hand of Omega, he calls him up on vid-screen and has a rather groovy debate with the scum-sucker. He gives Davros time, yet another chance, to turn his decision around. Yes, the Doctor knows he won't listen, and yes the Doctor triple-bluffs him around but at one point the Doctor asks for pity. Davros refuses. When the tables turn, Davros asks for pity. But the Doctor knows he too has to refuse. Because every time he refuses, the more Davros kills. The Doctor was right to blow up Skaro because enough was enough. Where the Doctor was wrong was not following up on his decision and making sure Davros was dust. -Jeremiah Ecks, who believe it or not is pacifistic! |
