The dalkes and parallel universes weren't really continuity errors, because there returns were explained, although they may have been overused. The main problem with Moffat's season isn't that he is trying to make each episode more dramatic. The only episodes where that really happens are the finales, but the entire season wasn't as good as any of the Davies era. The main problem was that althohg there were some good episodes, (Vincent and the Doctor, Time of Anels/Flesh and Stone), but too many of the single part, middle of the season episodes were either bad or just not memorable. The main problem with the Dalek episode was that he was trying to permanently bring back the biggest enemy from the entire show in 1 45 minute episode. The daleks weren't really needed for this seasnon anyway, and he could have waited longer to bring them back, but donei t in abigger, 2 part episode. The finale was OK, but it reminded me of the Seventh Doctor episodes, the episode was ok, but I had no idea what was going on.Icecreamdif 21:53, September 29, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, you're right. it wasn't necessary to return the daleks. But if they had to be brought back, it was better to do them justice. Most of the drama in that story strangely occurs ''after'' the daleks have left, somewhat undramatically.
Yes, you're right. it wasn't necessary to return the daleks. But if they had to be brought back, it was better to do them justice. Most of the drama in that story strangely occurs ''after'' the daleks have left, somewhat undramatically. and they are overused. contrast with the third doctor, who encountered the Daleks four times in four years, the fourth who fought them twice, the Fifth , sixth and seventh who met them once. If an enemy is used too often they become tiresome. and this is starting to happen to the daleks. the recent redesign of the daleks is clearly an attempt to sex up an enemy which has become tired and boring. But if they were used sparingly, they are terrifying and interesting enough. The one improvement on the classic series though was not tying thE DALEKS TO Davrros every time. this made the daleks wimpy and weak. But Davros, interesting character though he is, has been reintroducved and i hope he does not re-occur or at least not too often and in a manner that emasculates our favourite iconic enemies.````
