About me: I prefer to remain anonymous, internet safety and all that. I will tell you that I have two arms, two eyes, the basic humanoid form, but that is it.
About me as a Whovian: Now you're talking! Ok, I like Matt Smith's Doctor best for a more manic and eccentric performance and great stories like The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang, Amy's Choice, and The Name of the Doctor. I do not consider myself a fan of New Who or Classic Who, I am a fan of Doctor Who, plain and simple.
Review of the Week: Victory of the Daleks was, in my opinion, one of the most underrated episodes of all time. Amy not recognizing the Daleks is hinted at being more than just a plot hole, and when the Doctor mentions it again at the end, it builds up some more mystery for the season finale. I find the friendship between the Doctor and Winston Churchill very entertaining, with their conflicting egos and great respect for eachother. Matt Smith has great chemistry with everyone in the story, be it Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, Ian McNiece as Churchill, Bill Patterson as Professor Edwin Bracewell, and Nicholas Briggs as the voice of the Daleks. The idea that the Daleks are hiding in the background and not invading on masse is very refreshing and a nice touch. The line "WOULD YOU CARE FOR SOME TEA?" is absolutely hilarious. The Ironsides are wonderfully designed. The Doctor's outburst at the Daleks is one of Matt Smith's greatest moments as the Doctor. As for the new Daleks, one of the most polarizing changes ever made to the show, I really like them. I like the idea for different colors, the larger size and jagged-edged eyestalk are incredibly intimidating, and I was instantly reminded of the Dalek designs from the Cushing movies. I also liked seeing how the Supreme and Strategist Daleks quickly asserted their roles in the new race of Daleks. The Spitfire battle in space was great action. The best part of the episode is when the Doctor has to chose between destroying his worst enemies and saving his favorite planet, and the Supreme Dalek is very sinister in taunting him. Bracewell's conflict is an interesting concept, but when the day is saved by making him feel love, that was just a cop out in the worst way. The wartime feel is very well executed, and the sense of hope at the end is brilliant. I hope to see the purpose of the Eternal Dalek and the other Daleks fit their roles in the near future. I'd give the episode 9/10. It was a fantastic episode with a badly executed resolution, but the good use of the Daleks more than makes up for it, even if you don't like the new design, and Matt Smith never fails to impress as the Doctor.
