I thought the designs were bad, but i really liked the idea of the New Paradigm. The fact that 1/5 of it was entirely devoted to survival was something i really appreciated
@Arcana IX Also I think that the back section shouldn't have been extended at all. Railing device, great idea, but I just don't like the hunch look of it.
@@crimsondynamo615 I also love the idea of the Dalek race having an Officer variant for their units; with "Drones" actually being analogous to Captains, commanding Dalek ships and hundreds if not thousands of the Bronze units with Strategists overseeing tactical and intel matters, Scientists having a direct command over all scientific endeavors with the Eternals overseeing temporal influences (kinda like Dalek seers) and ensuring that assigned planets have adequate reserve forces for times of danger
@@ItsButterBean1020 I think I mostly with what everybody's said. I loved the idea of the colourful Daleks from 'Victory', thinking they were amazing (then again, I must've been eleven or twelve when it first aired). I'm not 100% certain about the colours now, but I liked the concept, though maybe the NPDs could do without the 'junk in the trunk'. If it was up to me, there'd be five 'everyday' 'levels' to Daleks seen regularly; casing design is meant to be NPD, but slimmed at the back and less prominent rears: 1) Drones, the rank and file, the most common type, very obedient, but stupid to the point that even somebody with half a brain cell can outwit them. Grey casing, black fender, tan hemispheres, white shoulder bands, white dome lights. Equivalent of a military's rank and file, the bottom rung. 2) Section Leaders, responsible for leading Drones in tasks, with powers to appoint assistants in certain tasks (assistants don't get new markings), and are slightly more intelligent than drones. Blue casing, khaki fender, grey hemispheres, red shoulder bands, blue dome lights. Equivalent of a military's NCO cadre, various corporal and sergeant flavours, and equivalents. 3) Lieutenants/Sub-Commanders, responsible for leading larger formations in certain tasks, and have independent thought capability, and by extension, some independent action capability. Red casing, leaf green fender, green hemispheres, bronze shoulder bands, yellow dome lights. Equivalent of military company officers (army lieutenants and captains) and equivalents. 4) Commanders, usually the highest-rank Daleks in missions, i.e. ship commands, detachment commands, garrison commands, etc., and are consequently more intelligent. Black casing, mulberry fender, brown hemispheres, silver shoulder bands, red dome lights. Equivalent of military field officers (army majors and colonels) and equivalents. 5) Elite, the top everyday rung, seldom leading units out, unless it's extremely large. Gold casing, grey fender, black hemispheres, gold shoulder bands, green dome lights. Equivalent of military general/flag officers, all levels, and equivalents. There's also other colour schemes for roles (scientists, strategists, engineers, pilots, guards to the Supreme Council, the regular Supreme Council), as well as for individuals (some Supreme Council members, Fleet Commander, Chiefs of groups, Inquisitor General, etc.) and casing designs for other purposes. WDYT? Colour schemes are inspired by the 1997 novel War of the Daleks (casings), the USMC MAP belt colours (hemispheres), Huxley's Brave New World (fenders) and a few other organisations which use colours to show seniorities in achievements (shoulder bands and dome lights).
@@stephenmurphy2212 this video was made before Revolution came out. Besides that one didn’t even look all that different from the other standard time war drone Daleks. Could have spray painted the dome black or something.
I remember at the time one of the reasons given for the new look Daleks was to make them taller. Moffat wanted them to be able to look Karen Gillian in the eye without her having to crouch down.
@@icymariobros3793 No the ones designed for the Matt Smith and Karen Gillian era were ridiculed so the show went back to the Eccelston era ones. The MSKG ones were only in that one story they were then retconned to only make occasional appearances.
The gold dalek from the 3rd doctor’s era has the rank of general commander and daleks like sec are the leaders of scientific dalek parties that would be like Star fleets science corps but they are supposed to make weapons for war instead of studying for peace
Actually the films were by Amicus... WB had nothing to do with those movies. It was filmed under a subsidiary of Amicus, "Aaru". But you are correct in saying they're inspired by the Cushing Daleks. It was intended too as to develop the Daleks as Nation intended them, with a hierarchy. To cite Nation he said he'd have the red with black as warriors or something, then there'd be the intellectuals, then the blue ones with silver bodies would be something else... Shame that fans grumbled about them, they just went back to the "Big Bro Yo" bling bling Daleks.
I think that the New Paradigm Daleks could've worked if you scaled back the colour scheme, making each member of the Paradigm have their respective colour as an accent to their palette as opposed to the primary aspect. I don't know if this is any good, but I would've been interested to see future Dalek stories where just 1 or even 2 of the Paradigm Daleks were the main antagonist for an episode, commanding the bronze soldiers while having the plot surround the Paradigm Dalek's roles, such as the Eternal and the Scientist being encountered together by the Doctor who would have to stop a scheme of theirs given to them by the Supreme who we wouldn't see until the series finale, or maybe near the end of 11's run. It may've made the Dalek stories too numerous but I like to think it could've worked as an arc, upfront in that series where the Doctor tries to actively chase them down and stop what each member of the Paradigm is doing on their own or in small groups, maybe with the Doctor successfully eliminating one of the Paradigm while the other accompanying it would escape until the surviving Paradigm members were the final threat. I dunno, just an idea that I think, if done right, could've really showed the danger of letting the more powerful and coordinated Paradigm Daleks exist.
glad there is now a reduced likelihood (although not entirely eliminated) chance of seeing a gender fluid rainbow Dalek with musical abilities and desire for massive choreographed invasions of a festive nature with colorful explosions suited to the emotional spectrum at the given moment
Please let this be true. Just about any actress could have portrayed the Doctor better than Jodi, as for Chibnall's writing, it was making me nostalgic for even the worst of Moffat's efforts.
I just about watched the first episode with Jodie Whitaker & even with the others being automatically recorded I've not watched them.... I think I'll just assume it was just a view of the nightmare the doctor had during regeneration!!!
2:44 this dalek changed color schemes it was orginal purple and gold and escaped spiridon and had a bigger bottom from the dr who comic Emperor of the daleks
my own lil headcanon about where the Supreme and *entire city* from S9 came from....the bit of the Cruicible in S4 containing Davros and a couple Daleks was launched out by the explosion, so from far away it looked like just a big chunk of debris. Ended up crashing on the now somewhat "healed" and radiation-free Skaro, specifically the old ruined city. Davros barely survived the trip, and so the genetic material he got from himself to make new Daleks was unhealthy, explaining the defect of "respect and mercy for their father" these particular Daleks from the S9 opener have. The revamped city is a mix of old and "primitive" designs because they were short on supplies. Even explains why their Supreme Dalek is identical to the one in S4.
Neat. I have the toys of most of the Paradigm Daleks - just missing the white one. I actually rather like them - though my fav ones are the 1960's colourful Movie variations. I'd like to see them use the variations in a script some time - they really need to use that Eternal one in a creative way sometime - especially as we seem uncertain on if it's a singular individual or something akin to a political officer caste.
Saw the title and somehow thought of the Dalek Supremes. You know, a group of Daleks in wigs and fab 60's dresses doing Supremes and Motown hits. Hahaha! Yes, yes, I've been in quarantine too long..! :D Ooh, a Dalek version of that 80's song, Neutron Dance! :D :D
I always did see the new paradigm daleks as the commanding officers, so it makes sense in hindsight that they didn't become the face of standard dalek casings. And as obvious as it is, the muted colors should have been done in the first place.
Lord Ferbus make your own white cups for lights check plunger check egg whisk check my dad even had controls all though one time at the mall there was a dalek and the guy piloting it was a pilot of a dalek from the show he took a dalek from his house (he was working on it at the time) and drove it around the mall
The bright gumboil colors used for those Daleks never made sense to me. I would've expected darker, more muted, more camouflaged colors. Good that they realized that didn't work with the audience or story. However, that idea of modular attachments to swap out is a potentially good one.
The New Paradigm Daleks were too gimmicky and essentially just a means to an end to trying to sell merchandise, so unsubtle and transparent, that it is a bit of a shame. I often just refer to them as the ''Power Ranger Daleks'' because that is essentially what they are. Nothing much to see other than a shallow attempt to rebrand and resell them to make the BBC some more money it doesn't need or earn. Anyway, the best Daleks by *far* are the Bronze Last Great Time War Daleks. Seriously the peak of the on-screen Dalek evolutions. Some of the old school ones (e.g. especially the white and gold Imperial Daleks) are cool, and I am fond of the classic Silver and Black/Silver and Blue Skaro Daleks (as brought back in ''The Witches Familiar'' with Peter Capaldi's Doctor) But yeah, the Eccleston-Tennant Daleks were just perfect.
The Time War Daleks are definitely the best, and I really like the original silver and blue (with slats), but I don't like the way they keep bringing them back, Asylum was okay but not The Magician's Apprentice and the Witch's Familiar. Same with the Cybermen in The Doctor Falls. It's like they (Steven Moffat) haven't heard of continuity.
@@10thdoctor15 oh I totally agree with *everything* you just said. The Moffat era generally irritated me. I'm not even ''the biggest Doctor Who fan'' per se I just appreciate it is television history and classic sci-fi, bit of an institution of British TV really. Can't stand the political agenda shoehorning going on in the recent series as well, really on the nose and unsubtle. Also think all that Missy and Master stuff got tedious (as for Clara Oswald the less said the better) It became the Clara show and went wrong. Capaldi was wasted on DW and deserved better (the BBC and Moffat treated him like shit and he grew tired of it) The show totally went off the reservation so to speak. Really just lost it's way - and then got dragged through a hedge backwards with Jodie Whitaker's Doctor. I mean what in the actual frube was going on in the last season lol such dross. The Christmas return of that rogue Dalek was forced and don't get me started on the ancient humans supposedly beating one lol The great shame about Peter Capaldi's Doctor Who innings, is how he was given some of the most self-indulgent, pompous and contrived writing Doctor Who has *ever* had to deal with, resulting in an exacerbation of an already mixed reaction to Capaldi's portrayal. I never bought into the unfair, ageist and social justice warrior-esque complaints people had about Capaldi. There were people saying, ''Oh another old white dude'' and that is *precisely* why they went for Jodie (who I actually don't mind as the Doctor, though she can be a bit cringe inducing with her grimaces and failed attempts at quirky humour, though I get the need for levity etc) Sadly we can't just have a Doctor be ''an old white dude'' when that was basically what everyone knew he *looked* like. Nobody (apart from the SJW's and snowflakes) in recent years (and I do literally mean just within the last decade, even after the bulk of Tennant's era had already passed) gave a toss about the ethnicity of the actor. There had been murmurings for years about the chance for a female Doctor but that isn't the issue. The fact it was given so much obvious attention and deliberate hype, makes the entire thing pretty pathetic. Had it been approached in a more conciliatory and friendly manner - rather than scathing hatred for ''muh white males'', then there could have been something that everyone/most generally enjoyed. Instead of ''friendly fan input'' it had to degenerate, predictably, into a screaming match (mainly one way; from the SJW snowflake crowd demanding they get what they want) They made it about gender politics, identity politics and ethnicity concerns, decrying Doctor Who for always regenerating as a white male (whether an older gentleman or a younger one in appearance) It just makes me cringe so much that this shit had to get dragged into what was, originally a sci-fi show for kids. Yes, there were always some moral stories to be made and prevailing political attitudes; but not like this. Not to *this* extent (especially in Capaldi's era and now most prominently of all DW history, in Whitaker's) Yet again, Doctor Who got the short end of the stick with far lefty writing and a chorus of SJW fake fans who cared more about their politics being pushed than the authenticity of the product. I think most would agree that Tennant was one of the best Doctors ever, and though RTD's writing wasn't devoid of political narratives, it did avoid the sheer level of patronising agenda pushing in Moffat's to follow. But then came Chibnall and oh boy...he is making Moffat look like a saint. Chibs is the worst writer Doctor Who has had, ever full stop. Narcissistic, delusional and politics baiting writing that is desperate to be edgy. Hamfisted attacks on single fathers, British imperial history, BREXIT (in that Christmas special) and quite frankly unnecessary and forced narratives thinly veiled as attacks on white males. The whole Rosa Parks story line was so utterly blatant in trying to make Doctor Who something it isn't. What happened to fighting cool aliens and robots on fantastical worlds and making exciting discoveries in the stars? What happened to coherent story lines for all ages and good, honest stories? No, they had to make the Doctor's companions accessory to the mistreatment of Rosa Parks cos, that is fun to watch, right? Obviously these were important milestone/era defining moments in history, though why was it brought up in the first place? To push that agenda. To rub the issue in our faces after it has been a thoroughly explored area of history that really needs little explanation - all to contrive some subplot of a *literal white supremacist* going through history to try and ''stop'' non-whites or something. It was just so weird all of it. I get it, it is important history; but it is bit much having people say, ''Negro'' in a 1950's US setting while the primary audience will be children. I mean, come the fuck on -.-' I know that shit happened and it was bad. We all get it. You, me, everyone. Everyone knows 1950's southern states in the USA weren't exactly the best place in the world for racial harmony and race relations. But why force the story to take the Doctor right there, in the same season they have Generic-Rich-Arsehole-Hotel-Owner-Dude mention and dismiss Donald Trump? Chibnall is openly very far left and hammered his agenda with shocking bias into each and every episode. Two deadbeat white fathers in two different episodes; a white alien who looks like a normal white male, giving birth for crying out loud. Whitaker's Doctor mentioning the sexism of *1600s England* in the Witch Trials, making a fuss about the fact that if she were a man this wouldn't be happening. Right after the awkwardness in the Rosa Parks episode, they flung the audience right into Partition India. It was like Chibnall was sat there thinking ''what can I shoehorn into this season to score the most social justice points with the leftist activist branch of my audience, to get the most virtue signalling rewards?" and it was like he was deliberately (and disingenuously) picking on times when ''white people did bad stuff'' to make some broader "point". Chibnall is such an out and out wanker, honestly. He doesn't even really care about those issues he is just forcing them into to the plot to try and look righteous and edgy. The level of hatred he has for white men in particular is pretty disturbing. A good channel for this is ''Bowlestrek'' on youtube, and he covers it with a lot more detail than I can here (he reviews and otherwise discusses Doctor Who, including show and non-show media and news etc) [part 1 of 2]
@@10thdoctor15 [2/2] Suffice it to say that every single thing we're seeing with the bizarre agendas and politicisation of Doctor Who, is 100% deliberate, targeted and in-keeping with what has been happening all across the film and TV industry. What we're seeing, is a takeover by the radical left (just like what happened to Star Wars) There was even an episode where they take a shot at capitalism and the style of factory work used by Amazon. Chibs is clearly an outright socialist. He doesn't care about a very large section of the audience who felt alienated by the shambles he turned Doctor Who into. Just look at reviews and reactions to Doctor Who's latest season and the Christmas episode (that was, by far, the worst thing I've ever seen in new Doctor Who post-2005) The Doctor is a Gallifreyan Time Lord from a civilisation which is nearly as old as the universe itself, with a time and space transport that by itself harnesses more trapped power than some entire interstellar space-faring Empires (the Eye of Harmony in TARDISes, is basically a permanently trapped, miniaturised and time locked collapsing star happening over and over constantly to give the TARDIS essentially infinite energy; clever) For all their flaws, the Time Lords are so hilariously technologically and artistically advanced in relation to literally every other species in the universe, that from their perspective (however lofty, arrogant and complacent at some points) they were basically Gods among the stars. And the humility and self-awareness of the Doctor to put aside the egotism of his contemporaries from Gallifrey, and seek moral principles over the dictatorial tyranny of individuals like Rassilon, always showed to my mind, that of all species the Gallifreyans and Earth Humans, were the most alike in all the universe. That is kind of the point - the Time Lords are a reflection of the Human race in the writing, going back decades. They are a muse on human nature itself, and the Doctor is perhaps the greatest of them all (not in every context, but generally) Matters of race, gender and politics scarcely touched the thinking of the Doctor, and that is *precisely* why to him, it feels so forced. Where the Doctor faced his inner darkness (or what Humans would regard, as the dark side of human nature, from a human perspective), is in fighting the Daleks. They bring the darkness out of him like no other because, in short, they wanted nothing less than to genocide the universe. Abhorrent to the Time Lords in every single regard, the mercy of the Doctor, cannot easily be applied to Daleks. Daleks defy the logic and the cultural elitism of Time Lord society - they force the Time Lords to resort to things they *never* would normally, and this was of course played out in full during the Last Great Time War. The Doctor is forced to admit to all of his own demons and face them head on. He was always capable of violence and cruelty. And that is the side of almost any (apart from Daleks and several other ''baddies'', perhaps) sentient, especially advanced species, that they possibly subconsciously hate the most; the animalistic impulse and urge. The primitive, the brutul, the barbaric. Yet in all-out-war with the Daleks, they had to resort to that level of insanity and barbarism. To face the black mirror of their own souls at a time when they'd already been living through a 10 million year long Dictatorship phase on Gallifrey (seems a lot, but Gallifreyan civilisation is around a dozen billion years old give or take a billion lol) With all that in mind, it seems sad that Doctor Who is reduced to making 21st century ''takes'' on current events and issues such as Trump, just to appease the self-gratification based, lefty pandering fart huffing, echo chamber politics, of a writer like Chibnall. It is sad to see. It is blatantly trying to shit-stir and pick on white men when literally only a few radical leftists even cared about things like the Doctor's ethnicity or gender. I get it, Time Lords regenerate and can come back as masculine or feminine archetypes. But how long before there are people saying, ''why isn't Doctor Who regenerated as a disabled trans Australian Aboriginal whose behavioural temperament is that of a marijuana smoking hippy?" :p if they *truly* practicised what they preached, they'd have made the Doctor a non-white woman NOT a white woman (there were, in fact, people genuinely complaining about this on social media, believe it or not; I'm not joking) If Chibnall *really wanted* to be ''woke'' and ''progressive'', he'd have cast Doctor Who as exactly the above and revelled in the backlash. As it is, fan backlash was SO SEVERE (globally, not just in the UK) to the latest season and the ''special'' at Christmas, that the show went on a year hiatus and reports now suggest that the BBC marketing executives and producers have essentially given BOTH Chibnall and Whitaker their marching orders (whether this is entirely true, is not yet clear to me, though several high profile channels following it have made videos on the situation saying that there is good evidence that their contracts have been terminated or only extended to cover one last season then they are OUT) Basically, it comes down to the backlash hurting sales really badly (mainly of DW toys and other merchandise - and next to nobody is buying Doctor Who action figures anymore lol) There is a very similar situation unfolding at Disney, which also ''got woke''. Star Wars merchandise sales have plummeted and people aren't buying the bullshit coming out of Disney anymore. Fans are wising up to the bullshit and smelling the coffee (or tea, as I prefer :) ) The sooner Doctor Who gets back to being what it was in the Eccelston-Tennant era the better. Unadulterated, heartwarming stories with an actual point and purpose, beyond spreading the rot of ''woke'' postmodernist politics. I'm so tired of seeing great franchises wrecked from within by infiltrating radicals trying to change the very heart, soul and writing DNA of what that Intellectual Property was. It'd be like if someone tried to turn the works of Tolkien into a vehicle for Social Justice. Imagine that? Imagine if, when the exclusive rights to the Tolkien Estates one day pass from the Tolkien family (which, sadly, it one day will), some rich left wing wanker with a chip on their shoulder about the Tolkien Legendarium not being ''woke enough'', starts pumping their agenda into it? I shudder at the thought. The very reason that stuff never got close to wrecking Tolkien's work, is that he had exclusive ownership and that his family inherited that. Sadly, the clock is ticking and one day it won't be exclusive intellectual property of the Tolkien Estates. It won't be long before we see woke Hobbits and pro-Mordor activists inside Minas Tirith demanding to let the forces of Mordor come in, because Sauron worship is a religion of peace :p lol By the 22nd century, anything as bad as that is possible in the future. Scary stuff. Even scarier than Daleks haha we saw that even Game of Thrones ruined itself, so I think Tolkien is in danger of being meddled with, in portrayals, too :( god I hope not. Leftists ruin everything they touch :/ P.S - clearly, if the next Doctor isn't a Disabled non-white trans Communist eco-warrior with a fetish for trees I say we riot!!! ( ;) ) Oh and, you can bet your last 10 pence that Chibnall won't ever criticise the Mongols of Genghis, Kublai and Chagatai Khan (etc) whom devastated Eurasia from Korea to Poland, slaughtering millions, or the Barbary Pirates of North Africa whom enslaved white and Hispanic Europeans for over eight centuries, or the Japanese Empire in WWII which committed repeated war crimes on Asians and Whites alike, the Chinese Communists killing more people than Hitler and Stalin combined, native American tribes raiding innocent white settler farmsteads (not all were innocent but most were) scalping defenceless men, women and children alive if they couldn't take them captive or didn't want to, on the frontiers of the Ohio Valley in the 18th century. Nor will he look at the Medieval Timurids whom devastated the Middle East, or the Ottoman Empire of Sultan Mehmed II when it raped and pillaged Constantinople for 3 days straight back in 1453 after a 53 day long siege after which the streets ran with blood, or the hordes of Attila the Hun ravaging the Byzantines, Eastern Europe and beyond. No. You won't have Doctor Who episodes set in any events which show white people being abused specifically by non-whites and mistreated in a way that is obvious, and you won't have sympathetic story lines for white victims of said abuse. You can also safely rule out Chibnall setting an episode in present day South Africa covering the murder of white farmers (he'd certainly try and do an episode about Apartheid South Africa, though, of course; fun fact - the Rosa Parks episode was filmed in South Africa as it happens -.-) Everything is one way for Chibnall; you'll never, ever see fair balance from that kind of writer. For fairness, if he were a fair writer, he'd take the audience to the heart of something reflecting that situation; which would highlight how every ethnic group has done wrong in the past, not just whites. But predictably, Chibnall isn't concerned with that distinction at all, is he? *How convenient* lol
@lcyw20 I agree on the lego bit. But lets be honest it was a gimmicky stunt for new marketing purposes to shift new merchandise. Start/finish what was really going on. Doctor Who is/at least used to be a big money spinner for the beeb. Nevermind the fact the bronze look Last Great Time War era Daleks were already at the peak of Dalek technology and were the Daleks in their prime - plus they are way better proportioned and should have been considered the peak in design, both for narrative and aesthetic consistency. The go-go Power Rangers Daleks were a cynical marketing ploy, little else. They were so unpopular compared to those seen in Eccleston and Tennant/or the RTD era LGTW Daleks, that even Gatiss and Moffat (often so smug on their high horses) retconned the New Paradigm Daleks to be leaders only not mainline replacements as was intended (which makes them murdering the ''inferior'' Daleks on screen pretty pointless) It's like what has been happening in the beleaguered Predator franchise; with desperate attempts to make it well-received and popular again, by adding bigger and ever more over the top versions of themselves (there were ''Super Predators" or ''Berserker Predators" in 2010's, "Predators" and recently there has been an even worse film with a hulking "Ultimate Predator" or "Assassin Predator", in 2018' s "The Predator") avp.fandom.com/wiki/Ultimate_Predator For lack of originality, there is so often a desperate and obvious strive to prove it is good by making bigger versions of the originals. The New Paradigm Dalek thing was just unnecessary. P.S - do avoid stepping on LEGO folks, can confirm.
9:20 When someone sends you free stuff and you feel obliged to take about it for free you already fucked up. You need to make every single company that sends you anything pay you before you say shit about it on the channel. But as someone who isn't really a Doctor Who fan i found this super interesting
One thing I never really understood was if the Hand of Omega, which was a stellar manipulator was then simply renamed as such or if there have been multiple stellar manipulators discovered and used in the books and audio plays. I always just figured the "Hand of Omega" moniker was because it was his personal tool, but then other references to stellar manipulators popped up and I was never really sure if it was the same one or the Timelords had mass produced them.
I really like Dalek Sec for some reason... I mean it’s just a black Dalek case, which had been done before.. and a name.. but I just love it and the whole Cult of Skaro!
Eaglemoss I have almost all the Romulan ship's from their Star Trek line still waiting for the Remian Scimitar & Fighter to finish my Romulan Repubic collection 😋
Every Supreme Dalek: . The Daleks Invasion of Earth . The Chase, Mission to the Unknown and The Daleks’ Master Plan (Fun fact, for the novelisation of The Daleks’ Master Plan, the cover of the book has the same design but instead for its parts being black, it was red.) . Day of the Daleks . Planet of the Daleks (Fun fact, this prop was originally made for a Doctor Who play titled “Curse of the Daleks” which had the same design that “The Chase, Mission to the Unknown and The Daleks’ Master Plan” Supreme Dalek but instead it had no slats. The prop was then painted gold to become the gold Dalek as seen in the 2nd Peter Cushing movie. Then, creator of the Daleks [no not Davros] Terry Nation, managed to obtain that prop and 3 others which were planned to be used in a Dalek spin-off series where the same Supreme Dalek was painted red to be presumably another Supreme Dalek but sadly the show never happened. Then the prop was painted gold and black and was used as the Supreme Dalek in “Planet of the Daleks” and finally, after that, the prop was painted red and black and was used in cereal commercial. That Dalek prop was repainted 5-6 times and was the Supreme Dalek for stage, movie, television and even a commercial.) . Resurrection of the Daleks . Remembrance of the Daleks . The Stolen Earth, Journeys End, The Magicians Apprentice and The Witches Familiar . Victory of the Daleks, The Pandorica Opens, The Wedding of River Song and Asylum of the Daleks
I am really looking forward to a video about Omega. Hopefully we get a video about how the Tardis shaped Gallifreyan society and culture. And also at some point get a Cybermen cultural index video.
I think the Paradigm Daleks were a missed opportunity. With only a few changes (muted colours, a reduction in size and proportion etc) they could have had a real place in the Whoniverse. As it is the Time War Daleks are starting to look their age simply for being the standard so long.
Supreme Daleks. The more perverse bent of my imagination. Pictures 3 Daleks gyrating in the background. While one stands next to a microphone screaming. Stop! In the Name of Love! Or Diana Ross at the microphone. With 3 Daleks in the background
I'm so glad they did away with the larger multi-colored Daleks; from 'Victory of the Daleks.' They're so bulbous and plasticy they look to much like a toy. (Which admittedly was probably the point.) But it's hard enough to take trash bins with egg whisks attached as a serious threat without multi-colored toys trundling in too.
I called the Daleks Supreme 'power Ranger Daleks' because of the their garish colors and that they were in a group of five or six which I though was hilarious.
I loved the design of the paradigm daleks but I can see why a lot of people hated it. They'd never work as the replacement for the brass ones we know these days but the 5 multicoloured ones being in charge would at least be good video game material, like boss fights
All the talk about the Imperial Daleks vs Renegade Daleks and not a mention of the possibility that the Renegades were aware that the Emperor was not a Dalek and as such reject the possibility of a non Dalek being being superior. In Remembrance Of The Daleks as Ace says with The Doctor in the race hate conversation with Rachel and Alison “Not pure in their blobbiness” “Result?” “They hate each others chromosomes, war to the death”. Davros didn’t trust the Daleks after the end of Genesis. Having tried to make himself indispensable in the Movellan conflict and still found himself looking down the barrel of a Dalek gun he sought a way of guaranteeing total loyalty, even in conversation with Tasambeka “Serve me with your total being, and I shall allow you to become a Dalek”. Davros’ relationship with the Daleks is like you’re sleeping with X amount of your own pet poisonous snakes, you may think you’re safe because they are your pets but are you really going to get any sleep! How could you guarantee you’ll survive the night, every night? The only way he could guarantee not being killed by his own creations was to create a new race of Daleks as dedicated to Davros as they are to killing anything non Dalek, the chicken and the egg solution except the Renegade Daleks don’t recognise the hatched content of the egg as a Dalek, therefore it must be exterminated and the Imperial Daleks are conditioned to protect and serve Davros and so must destroy any threat to him, and that’s why they hate each others chromosomes (Ace summed it up better).
I always thought they were how Daleks would look if they were built by Renault. The sort of Dalek to pick the kids up from school and get the shopping in.
One single Dalek assimilated by the Borg. Imagine how that would alter the Daleks. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.
It would tear the Borg a new orifice. Then, if it was somehow subdued and assimilated, it'd probably tear the Borg another one to match the previous orifice.
Well, I could be mistaken but I think that Daleks are way beyond the means of the Borg to truly endanger the Daleks. Maybe if they really managed to corner one Dalek and try and assimilate it, they could attempt to move on to the rest of the Dalek Empire/New Paradigm Faction or whatever. I don't think that is likely. The Daleks in their own right operate, as do the Cybermen of course, surprisingly similarly to the Borg in one or two specific regards; in terms of their relentlessness but what I'm mostly getting at here is how they like to constantly upgrade. Daleks have been established to be pretty terrifying when it comes to that, to the extent that even the Time Lords learnt a sort of begrudging ''respect'' for them (in the loosest possible terms) as they just kept on coming in spite of all the measures they were taking to stop them. We're talking about Last Great Time War era Daleks onward, naturally; the ones with energy shields and radiation shielding. When fully powered Daleks are pretty appalling for most other factions to have to try and deal with. Just 1 partially damaged and power starved Dalek essentially presented an extinction level threat to humanity in 2005's ''Dalek'' episode. That was just a standard drone/warrior, not even one of the elite Daleks. Please know, I'm not trying to dismiss Star Trek or the Borg specifically, as while I have a working knowledge so to speak on Trek lore and the Borg etc, I'm no expert on them. I'm aware they can make extremely fast upgrades and that Picard struggled to deal with them on many occasions. I'm aware they are very strong and make the Klingons and Federation etc seem a little weak. They are adaptive and learn when enemies try something new; near instantly upgrading to avoid further damage. Well, guess what? The Daleks do that too. When the 10th Doctor had the idea of upgrading all the weapons of Torchwood to be able to use anti-Dalek bullets, it took the Daleks very little time at all to react. The Cult of Skaro was being fired upon by Torchwood *and* the 2006 Cybus Cybermen, and the Daleks noticed impairment/''damage'' on their shields. However, not a single Dalek was truly harmed and within seconds a Dalek simply exclaimed, ''ADAPT TO WEAPONRY!" and another said, ''FIREPOWER RESTORED!". Basically in the matter of a mere moment, they'd just upgraded and didn't have to worry about those weapons from then on. Daleks are absolutely relentless. As another example of their adaptability, it was worked out by several people including the Doctor earlier in his life, that a gravity field if used carefully can cancel out the Dalek elevation units (i.e. stop them from flying or hovering around, clearly something that could be advantageous) The character Scrum once rigged a high-frequency radio jamming field, that could counteract the motive unit. The Doctor seemed impressed at the work, but also warned Scrum that although he (the Doctor) himself had tried the same trick several times, this tactic will only reliably interfere with the Dalek's guidance systems (briefly) and only potentially impede the motive unit - and that it won't last long. In fact, he warned Scrum that he'd get 10 seconds *tops* before the Dalek worked out how to stop the jamming field. Again, the implication being that any old LGTW era style (or later) Daleks, could just tank that sort of trick. Speaking of which, Daleks on a singular unit level alone, can (if their energy is sufficient and they are braced for the attack) capable of tanking *direct nuclear blasts* and are practically immune to radiation. "It's fully formed now. I can't just throw a brick at it again. It's got a tough, radiation-proof casing. It's immune to every infection. It'd just blink at a nuclear explosion. If it could blink" - the 9th Doctor. Dalek casings are also full of anti-tampering/anti-intruder booby traps and auto-defence mechanisms. Even if the Dalek mutant inside the casing was somehow killed, leaving it's outer casing dormant and apparently harmless, the truth is that the Daleks were well-aware of the desire of enemy factions to try and study or reverse engineer their work, so they took measures to prevent this. I think this would impede/maybe outright prevent the Borg from posing a true threat, in many ways, as well. They have hundreds of defence mechanisms apparently. "We had to move it,' Scrum explained. 'Cuttin' Edge didn't have any room to work.’ 'That was risky,' said the Doctor. 'Even a dead Dalek is dangerous. They've got a hundred different automatic defences.' 'It's all right, we didn't even touch it. I used a couple of cargo grapplers to shift it down to the hold. 'It's dead. I could crack it open with the right tools.' The Doctor stared at him. 'Believe me, you really don't want to do that. Every Dalek has defences against that sort of thing. It would be like playing with a live hand grenade. The creature inside may be dead, but that casing is chock full of anti-handling devices and booby traps that would make your hair curl. There are enough self-destruct mechanisms packed inside one of those things to keep a team of bomb-disposal experts happy for a month." - from Prisoner of the Daleks Daleks are also insanely intelligent. I am aware the hive mind of the Borg is clever, but I think it is safe to say the Daleks are on a totally different level. From what I've read and seen, the Daleks are essentially a Type V Kardashev civilisation if we're classing that based on their capability (in terms of actual distribution, number of systems owned, no they are no one - but that is not entirely relevant) The Kardashev scale is limited in many ways as it relies on power and energy control measurements, and the implied level of development of a civilisation it theoretically requires to get to that level of ability. It is complicated. The Daleks are capable, if unchecked, of not only destroying the universe of the Doctor Who universe, but any associated multiverse pocket universes etc connected to it. They never get that chance because of the Doctor naturally, but still. They have a universe spanning reach. Then there is the fact they can time travel. I'm not sure the Borg could fully stand up to the Daleks. The Time Lords failed and they were the consummate masters of the time vortex prior to the Last Great Time War. Nobody else even came close to them (until the Daleks, that is) As for the Borg, I'm not sure the Daleks would be particularly concerned with them if we put them up against each other. It reminds me of the question, ''who would win, the Flood from HALO, or the Tyranids from Warhammer 40K?''. Doubtlessly the Borg would, like the Flood/Tyranids situation, start adapting to the Daleks and vice-versa the Daleks would start adapting to the Borg. But the Daleks are, at least as far as I can see, way beyond whatever the Borg have achieved. They are simply on a different level. Again, maybe I'm missing something about the Borg as I haven't seen all of the relevant Star Trek series and its spin off films etc so I'm not necessarily accurate in saying the Borg would be outmatched. If we're talking about retro Daleks from the original series and classic episodes prior to the development of the lore surrounding the Last Great Time War? (i.e. most of the Dalek eras really prior to new Doctor Who post-2005), then I think the Borg can handle them (at first) Maybe the Borg might even win. But remember, those Daleks became stronger by the time we see the Last Great Time War, precisely because of developments and evolutionary adaptation in their technology making them tougher (in-universe; whereas from a TV drama perspective, it is also partly because, well, filming technology just got better and ideas changed on how to portray them i.e. the props department got better and the TV budgets improved lol) Maybe the best versions/eras of the Borg would just stomp the old school Daleks (who could literally be kicked out of windows and blow up or run over by a van lol) There there was the whole business of the ''eye stalk weakspot'' thing. Yeah, Daleks were inconsistent to begin with but I think that was more of a facet of production problems and limited budgets to be honest. Old Doctor Who was working on a shoe string, and was famously low budget and pretty conspicuous in being so (making the fact it still became an icon of TV history with a lot of good writing, all the more impressive in retrospect) Star Trek had similar issues at least earlier on, I believe (in spite of American TV having a lot more money floating around in it in that era than British TV) [1/2]
[2/2] Anyhow, I think it makes for an interesting fight. But if the Cybermen from Doctor Who (arguably more than a match for the Borg in their own right, in at least their later forms - similar to the Daleks, their older forms were inconsistently under-powered too) can't really scratch the Daleks, then I think it'd be a similar fight between the Daleks and the Borg. I'm well-aware that the Borgs and Cybermen have many unique aspects and are quite different in specific ways; but in many other ways, they are eerily similar. I'd even say that the Borg are Star Trek's answer to the much older (by conception and depiction) Cybermen (one of the Doctor's, oldest foes) The key difference would be how, in spite of being mentally oppressed in their own torturous mental prisons, Cybermen are themselves more proactively interested and ''enthusiastic'' about upgrading themselves and they see upgrading as the central point of their entire strategy. Cybermen's origins are from self-upgrading gone too far, dehumanising until their is no humanity left, with a shell of what they naturally were, being reduced to basic ''emotions''. They are not quite as emotionless/dull as the Borg, and some do have some personality (by Cybermen standards, that isn't saying much) Usually if a Cyberman becomes truly conscious of what it now is, and breaks its mental programming, it dies screaming in abject terror of what it has become. Basically, they go absolutely batshit insane if they realise what they are post-''upgrades'' (most never come close to risking being made self-aware, though) Cybermen, crucially, have concepts of elegance and beauty - seeing their upgrades as beautiful and mocking the Daleks for having no concept of elegance (in their famous and much meme'd encounter at Canary Wharf) Even so, obviously Cybermen concepts of beauty and elegance are extremely twisted and warped, informed by mental inhibitors and self-brainwashing. The fact they try and destroy themselves if they know what they actually are in a thinking manner, free of their mental conditioning, says a lot. The Daleks, in their own way, are very similar to the Cybermen (they had very similar origins too) They too can end up self-destructing and going insane if they start to learn emotions again or like, get influenced. Like the 2005 Dalek Rose touched, which began to philosophise about life because it had used human DNA from Rose touching it's casing (and her time traveller energy) to reactivate properly. Although it massacred it's way through the underground base before its final conversation with Rose, the fact it's hardwired indoctrination to the Dalek mission to destroy all life in the universe, kicked back into gear and the Dalek destroyed itself utterly in disgust (seeing itself as ''defective'' and worthless without a purpose, really depressed in tone), shows that helping Daleks be free of what they are, is nigh on impossible. They are born to kill and kill again. That is what they do. Some Daleks can be uniquely anomalous, but usually they are destroyed by their own kind as ''abominations''. Daleks are even worse than Nazis - to which they are often compared - because unlike human concepts of evil, at least some within an evil human faction can have normal behaviour or remorse, fears, doubts and emotions. Daleks are essentially just the ultimate killing machines and they want to kill literally everything in the universe that is not a Dalek. They have absolutely no grand plan for the universe beyond purging it of all life that is not them. They see themselves as the ultimate in evolution - in spite of being disgusting hideous mutants that are totally and utterly insane. They are so evil they make Nazis look tame by comparison. That is the level of horror they represent. Whereas the Borg are more like a coldly indifferent horror, the Daleks are genocidal maniacs very literally programmed to hate. The Asylum of the Daleks, was even built by the Daleks to house particularly insane Daleks that exhibited so much hateful rage, that they started gleefully shooting at other Daleks. Not out of disloyalty to the Dalek Empire, bizarrely, just out of their hatefulness consuming them (and some ''normal'' Daleks keeping them in the prison, didn't want to exterminate them because they saw their exemplary hatred as ''divine'') Daleks are messed up on so many levels -.-' P.S - If the Daleks really wanted to, they could just time travel back to the first Borg and destroy them outright. Daleks can time travel obviously, and though the Time Lords tried (and botched) attempts to remove them from existence in the time continuum first (which the Daleks used, somewhat understandably, as a pretext for an all out war against the Time Lords, triggering the Last Great Time War; the Time Lords messed up the whole situation and initially just underestimated them, a mistake that would haunt them forever after), the Daleks retaliated by trying to remove the Time Lords from existence too. And on and on it went. Meanwhile, the Borg are highly unlikely to be able to contend with the relentless Daleks. I'd give the Borg very low odds of surviving. The Daleks wouldn't tolerate such a rival in the same universe.
@@ThePalaeontologist Wow that's...alot. XD The Borg are similar to Cybermen only in that they have biological components. Beyond that is more than simple programming to upgrade. It's a drive to adapt and consume every thing with sufficient biological and technological distinctiveness. It is theorized that the Borg created V'ger. It is a hive mind that spans much of the galaxy. What one knows, they all know. Daleks have no hive mind. They and the Cybermen operate on a different premise than the Borg. Eric Campbell, a DM and producer for Geek&Sundry who has run both Doctor Who, and Star trek table top games and watched both since childhood, described the Borg as "Beyond dark universe cybermen." Whatever that means. And seemed to think the two universes compared favorably. And it's not so much that they are indifferent, it's that they don't consider a single "human" to be a threat. If the individual is a Dalek and possesses something the Borg identify as something they can consume, that changes drastically. It only takes one successful assimilation. Which the Borg can do now to entire planets from orbit with nano viruses based on Janway's bio-molecular torpedoes, which were implied to be able to infect entire solar systems with high enough yield. Upon assimilation of new technology the Borg all adapt. All of them. Every Borg everywhere who is still connected to the collective knows what the others know. So running with the premise that they do manage to assimilate a single Dalek, then everything that Dalek can do, the Borg can. It's technology would be under the collectives control so traps are irrelevant. Most of the suit would be repurposed into compatible components as assimilation works against machines even better than flesh. (As shown in ST Enterprise episode "Regeneration.") Dalek adaptation capacity becomes Borg adaptation capacity. Hate is irrelevant. Emotions and genetic programming can be erased or rewritten upon assimilation as individuality is suppressed and the host becomes a drone. Altering physiology and genetic code is a standard part of the assimilation process. And the Borg can already time travel rather easily. If they ever got ahold of Iconian technology (likely with time, considering they consider the omega molecule to be perfection.) it would be over for everyone everywhere faster than they could react to. Which is one area I would say the Daleks are superior. I'm not sure how fast they can move through space or how far. I won't argue though, I just consider it a fun "what if". It's all fantasy and opinion anyway.
SUPREME DALEK TO ALL DALEKS: FOR THE EMPEROR! 40K FANS: HERETIC XENOS! BY THEW EMPEROR YOU WILL FEEL OUR WRATH! SUPREME DALEK: EXTERMINATE THEM!!! 40K FANS: EXTERMINATUS THEM! CHAOS GODS: LET THE GALAXIES BURN!!!!
later versions of Dalek were able to levitate so that might not work as well as you are thinking... although tipping them over at the top of an escalator so they are continuously falling down them might work better...but they would really, really hate you afterwards as to thwarting cybermen...try skipping away or running in a serpentine manner....or going full on parkour on your escape trajectory....
I loved the new dalek paradigm when they were shown, I even loved the british army daleks, because they weren't the boring, bronze, no imagination, treating us like stupid unthinking idiots, multiple series without a change exept three unique colours as one off daleks. It such a shame they didn't use them.
The paradigm daleks were just awful and terrible and looked like tele tubby daleks! Whoever designed them needs a slap.... I'm just glad they were replaced with the bronze daleks
"The greatest foe of the Doctor" - so true, and yet so hilarious at the same time
CHRISTMAS is his greatest fie
So true
th-cam.com/video/7gebiDJBIDo/w-d-xo.html
I thought the designs were bad, but i really liked the idea of the New Paradigm.
The fact that 1/5 of it was entirely devoted to survival was something i really appreciated
I agree
@Arcana IX Also I think that the back section shouldn't have been extended at all. Railing device, great idea, but I just don't like the hunch look of it.
@Arcana IX the more muted colors from asylum actually makes them look better. Shame that was the episode where afterwards they never came back again.
@@crimsondynamo615 I also love the idea of the Dalek race having an Officer variant for their units; with "Drones" actually being analogous to Captains, commanding Dalek ships and hundreds if not thousands of the Bronze units with Strategists overseeing tactical and intel matters, Scientists having a direct command over all scientific endeavors with the Eternals overseeing temporal influences (kinda like Dalek seers) and ensuring that assigned planets have adequate reserve forces for times of danger
@@ItsButterBean1020 I think I mostly with what everybody's said. I loved the idea of the colourful Daleks from 'Victory', thinking they were amazing (then again, I must've been eleven or twelve when it first aired). I'm not 100% certain about the colours now, but I liked the concept, though maybe the NPDs could do without the 'junk in the trunk'.
If it was up to me, there'd be five 'everyday' 'levels' to Daleks seen regularly; casing design is meant to be NPD, but slimmed at the back and less prominent rears:
1) Drones, the rank and file, the most common type, very obedient, but stupid to the point that even somebody with half a brain cell can outwit them. Grey casing, black fender, tan hemispheres, white shoulder bands, white dome lights. Equivalent of a military's rank and file, the bottom rung.
2) Section Leaders, responsible for leading Drones in tasks, with powers to appoint assistants in certain tasks (assistants don't get new markings), and are slightly more intelligent than drones. Blue casing, khaki fender, grey hemispheres, red shoulder bands, blue dome lights. Equivalent of a military's NCO cadre, various corporal and sergeant flavours, and equivalents.
3) Lieutenants/Sub-Commanders, responsible for leading larger formations in certain tasks, and have independent thought capability, and by extension, some independent action capability. Red casing, leaf green fender, green hemispheres, bronze shoulder bands, yellow dome lights. Equivalent of military company officers (army lieutenants and captains) and equivalents.
4) Commanders, usually the highest-rank Daleks in missions, i.e. ship commands, detachment commands, garrison commands, etc., and are consequently more intelligent. Black casing, mulberry fender, brown hemispheres, silver shoulder bands, red dome lights. Equivalent of military field officers (army majors and colonels) and equivalents.
5) Elite, the top everyday rung, seldom leading units out, unless it's extremely large. Gold casing, grey fender, black hemispheres, gold shoulder bands, green dome lights. Equivalent of military general/flag officers, all levels, and equivalents.
There's also other colour schemes for roles (scientists, strategists, engineers, pilots, guards to the Supreme Council, the regular Supreme Council), as well as for individuals (some Supreme Council members, Fleet Commander, Chiefs of groups, Inquisitor General, etc.) and casing designs for other purposes.
WDYT?
Colour schemes are inspired by the 1997 novel War of the Daleks (casings), the USMC MAP belt colours (hemispheres), Huxley's Brave New World (fenders) and a few other organisations which use colours to show seniorities in achievements (shoulder bands and dome lights).
The muted colors of the paradigm Daleks in asylum actually makes them look better
Fits with the stagnant society thing. Presumably, they decided they'd gone a bit far with the colours and dialled it back.
What about the Supreme Dalek in Planet of the Daleks?
The title is literally SOME supreme Daleks but yeah that Dalek is pretty iconic
Or the Death Squad Dalek leader in Revolution Of The Daleks (he had a deep voice to indicate that he was leader).
@@stephenmurphy2212 we don’t talk about that one...
@@stephenmurphy2212 this video was made before Revolution came out. Besides that one didn’t even look all that different from the other standard time war drone Daleks. Could have spray painted the dome black or something.
I remember at the time one of the reasons given for the new look Daleks was to make them taller. Moffat wanted them to be able to look Karen Gillian in the eye without her having to crouch down.
No the new version came out in 2005 aka the Eccleston era
@@icymariobros3793 No the ones designed for the Matt Smith and Karen Gillian era were ridiculed so the show went back to the Eccelston era ones. The MSKG ones were only in that one story they were then retconned to only make occasional appearances.
Last time I was this early Rose was just a flower.
Thanks Rick sir, as I have always been fascinated with the Daleks...
The gold dalek from the 3rd doctor’s era has the rank of general commander and daleks like sec are the leaders of scientific dalek parties that would be like Star fleets science corps but they are supposed to make weapons for war instead of studying for peace
The Hand of Omega, known as the Omega device by the Daleks, was a remote stellar manipulator.
In my opinion, the vast majority of budget problems in Doctor Who can be traced back to using gold as a weapon in the Cyber Wars...
The Progenator Daleks were based off of the WB Doctor Who movies.
Actually the films were by Amicus... WB had nothing to do with those movies. It was filmed under a subsidiary of Amicus, "Aaru". But you are correct in saying they're inspired by the Cushing Daleks. It was intended too as to develop the Daleks as Nation intended them, with a hierarchy. To cite Nation he said he'd have the red with black as warriors or something, then there'd be the intellectuals, then the blue ones with silver bodies would be something else... Shame that fans grumbled about them, they just went back to the "Big Bro Yo" bling bling Daleks.
@@JoesAnimationHub the only color I didn't like out of the progenator daleks was the "baked bean" colored one.
Progenitor.
I'm relieved to hear I wasn't the only one with reservations about the New Paradigm 2010 design...
6:32 "THE DALEKS HAVE NO CONCEPT OF ELEGANCE!"
I think that the New Paradigm Daleks could've worked if you scaled back the colour scheme, making each member of the Paradigm have their respective colour as an accent to their palette as opposed to the primary aspect.
I don't know if this is any good, but I would've been interested to see future Dalek stories where just 1 or even 2 of the Paradigm Daleks were the main antagonist for an episode, commanding the bronze soldiers while having the plot surround the Paradigm Dalek's roles, such as the Eternal and the Scientist being encountered together by the Doctor who would have to stop a scheme of theirs given to them by the Supreme who we wouldn't see until the series finale, or maybe near the end of 11's run.
It may've made the Dalek stories too numerous but I like to think it could've worked as an arc, upfront in that series where the Doctor tries to actively chase them down and stop what each member of the Paradigm is doing on their own or in small groups, maybe with the Doctor successfully eliminating one of the Paradigm while the other accompanying it would escape until the surviving Paradigm members were the final threat.
I dunno, just an idea that I think, if done right, could've really showed the danger of letting the more powerful and coordinated Paradigm Daleks exist.
Interesting video. Thanks for the updated info. I wonder about the dalek in the New Year's episode. That was creepy and scary.
6:32 Missed a perfect opportunity to
EXTERMINATE!
Now that Chibnall and Jodie Whitaker are out perhaps we shall see some Daleks of notable interest.
Hopefully its true.
glad there is now a reduced likelihood (although not entirely eliminated) chance of seeing a gender fluid rainbow Dalek with musical abilities and desire for massive choreographed invasions of a festive nature with colorful explosions suited to the emotional spectrum at the given moment
Please let this be true. Just about any actress could have portrayed the Doctor better than Jodi, as for Chibnall's writing, it was making me nostalgic for even the worst of Moffat's efforts.
I just about watched the first episode with Jodie Whitaker & even with the others being automatically recorded I've not watched them.... I think I'll just assume it was just a view of the nightmare the doctor had during regeneration!!!
It's just a rumour but I hope it's true
"Oh, no, I've got the word; you're the daleks' PET!"
2:44 this dalek changed color schemes it was orginal purple and gold and escaped spiridon and had a bigger bottom from the dr who comic Emperor of the daleks
my own lil headcanon about where the Supreme and *entire city* from S9 came from....the bit of the Cruicible in S4 containing Davros and a couple Daleks was launched out by the explosion, so from far away it looked like just a big chunk of debris. Ended up crashing on the now somewhat "healed" and radiation-free Skaro, specifically the old ruined city. Davros barely survived the trip, and so the genetic material he got from himself to make new Daleks was unhealthy, explaining the defect of "respect and mercy for their father" these particular Daleks from the S9 opener have. The revamped city is a mix of old and "primitive" designs because they were short on supplies. Even explains why their Supreme Dalek is identical to the one in S4.
"Swiss-Army Dalek." This made my day. Thanks, Ric! :D
Neat.
I have the toys of most of the Paradigm Daleks - just missing the white one.
I actually rather like them - though my fav ones are the 1960's colourful Movie variations.
I'd like to see them use the variations in a script some time - they really need to use that Eternal one in a creative way sometime - especially as we seem uncertain on if it's a singular individual or something akin to a political officer caste.
Saw the title and somehow thought of the Dalek Supremes. You know, a group of Daleks in wigs and fab 60's dresses doing Supremes and Motown hits. Hahaha! Yes, yes, I've been in quarantine too long..! :D Ooh, a Dalek version of that 80's song, Neutron Dance! :D :D
I love mighty morphin Dalek rangers.
I liked the New Paradigm daleks. I wish they were a bigger part of the later episodes
I like how the red 2010 dalek is like the red shirt from star Trek
Dalek Supremes . I love to hear THEM singing. "Baby Love"
The daleks are my favorite antagonistic species.
I always did see the new paradigm daleks as the commanding officers, so it makes sense in hindsight that they didn't become the face of standard dalek casings. And as obvious as it is, the muted colors should have been done in the first place.
We have a Daleks in one of the shops here in gosport.
If can buy then buy it
Cuz fuck it
It's a Dalek why not have one
Lord Ferbus make your own white cups for lights check plunger check egg whisk check my dad even had controls all though one time at the mall there was a dalek and the guy piloting it was a pilot of a dalek from the show he took a dalek from his house (he was working on it at the time) and drove it around the mall
The bright gumboil colors used for those Daleks never made sense to me. I would've expected darker, more muted, more camouflaged colors. Good that they realized that didn't work with the audience or story. However, that idea of modular attachments to swap out is a potentially good one.
Its hilarious because I was watching the s4 2 parter like an hour ago
twenty one cries for help thanks for acknowledging me
I don't care what anyone says. I LOVE the Paradigms Daleks.
When I saw the title I was thinking it was musical, with daleks singing songs like 'where has my love gone' and 'run, run, run'
In the big finish story, Jubilee, a version of the daleks (from a different universe though) actually sing, it's hilarious yet unsettling.
The New Paradigm Daleks were too gimmicky and essentially just a means to an end to trying to sell merchandise, so unsubtle and transparent, that it is a bit of a shame. I often just refer to them as the ''Power Ranger Daleks'' because that is essentially what they are. Nothing much to see other than a shallow attempt to rebrand and resell them to make the BBC some more money it doesn't need or earn.
Anyway, the best Daleks by *far* are the Bronze Last Great Time War Daleks. Seriously the peak of the on-screen Dalek evolutions. Some of the old school ones (e.g. especially the white and gold Imperial Daleks) are cool, and I am fond of the classic Silver and Black/Silver and Blue Skaro Daleks (as brought back in ''The Witches Familiar'' with Peter Capaldi's Doctor) But yeah, the Eccleston-Tennant Daleks were just perfect.
The Time War Daleks are definitely the best, and I really like the original silver and blue (with slats), but I don't like the way they keep bringing them back, Asylum was okay but not The Magician's Apprentice and the Witch's Familiar. Same with the Cybermen in The Doctor Falls. It's like they (Steven Moffat) haven't heard of continuity.
@@10thdoctor15 oh I totally agree with *everything* you just said. The Moffat era generally irritated me. I'm not even ''the biggest Doctor Who fan'' per se I just appreciate it is television history and classic sci-fi, bit of an institution of British TV really. Can't stand the political agenda shoehorning going on in the recent series as well, really on the nose and unsubtle.
Also think all that Missy and Master stuff got tedious (as for Clara Oswald the less said the better) It became the Clara show and went wrong. Capaldi was wasted on DW and deserved better (the BBC and Moffat treated him like shit and he grew tired of it)
The show totally went off the reservation so to speak.
Really just lost it's way - and then got dragged through a hedge backwards with Jodie Whitaker's Doctor. I mean what in the actual frube was going on in the last season lol such dross. The Christmas return of that rogue Dalek was forced and don't get me started on the ancient humans supposedly beating one lol
The great shame about Peter Capaldi's Doctor Who innings, is how he was given some of the most self-indulgent, pompous and contrived writing Doctor Who has *ever* had to deal with, resulting in an exacerbation of an already mixed reaction to Capaldi's portrayal. I never bought into the unfair, ageist and social justice warrior-esque complaints people had about Capaldi. There were people saying, ''Oh another old white dude'' and that is *precisely* why they went for Jodie (who I actually don't mind as the Doctor, though she can be a bit cringe inducing with her grimaces and failed attempts at quirky humour, though I get the need for levity etc)
Sadly we can't just have a Doctor be ''an old white dude'' when that was basically what everyone knew he *looked* like. Nobody (apart from the SJW's and snowflakes) in recent years (and I do literally mean just within the last decade, even after the bulk of Tennant's era had already passed) gave a toss about the ethnicity of the actor. There had been murmurings for years about the chance for a female Doctor but that isn't the issue. The fact it was given so much obvious attention and deliberate hype, makes the entire thing pretty pathetic.
Had it been approached in a more conciliatory and friendly manner - rather than scathing hatred for ''muh white males'', then there could have been something that everyone/most generally enjoyed. Instead of ''friendly fan input'' it had to degenerate, predictably, into a screaming match (mainly one way; from the SJW snowflake crowd demanding they get what they want) They made it about gender politics, identity politics and ethnicity concerns, decrying Doctor Who for always regenerating as a white male (whether an older gentleman or a younger one in appearance) It just makes me cringe so much that this shit had to get dragged into what was, originally a sci-fi show for kids. Yes, there were always some moral stories to be made and prevailing political attitudes; but not like this. Not to *this* extent (especially in Capaldi's era and now most prominently of all DW history, in Whitaker's)
Yet again, Doctor Who got the short end of the stick with far lefty writing and a chorus of SJW fake fans who cared more about their politics being pushed than the authenticity of the product. I think most would agree that Tennant was one of the best Doctors ever, and though RTD's writing wasn't devoid of political narratives, it did avoid the sheer level of patronising agenda pushing in Moffat's to follow.
But then came Chibnall and oh boy...he is making Moffat look like a saint.
Chibs is the worst writer Doctor Who has had, ever full stop. Narcissistic, delusional and politics baiting writing that is desperate to be edgy. Hamfisted attacks on single fathers, British imperial history, BREXIT (in that Christmas special) and quite frankly unnecessary and forced narratives thinly veiled as attacks on white males.
The whole Rosa Parks story line was so utterly blatant in trying to make Doctor Who something it isn't. What happened to fighting cool aliens and robots on fantastical worlds and making exciting discoveries in the stars? What happened to coherent story lines for all ages and good, honest stories? No, they had to make the Doctor's companions accessory to the mistreatment of Rosa Parks cos, that is fun to watch, right?
Obviously these were important milestone/era defining moments in history, though why was it brought up in the first place? To push that agenda. To rub the issue in our faces after it has been a thoroughly explored area of history that really needs little explanation - all to contrive some subplot of a *literal white supremacist* going through history to try and ''stop'' non-whites or something. It was just so weird all of it. I get it, it is important history; but it is bit much having people say, ''Negro'' in a 1950's US setting while the primary audience will be children. I mean, come the fuck on -.-' I know that shit happened and it was bad. We all get it. You, me, everyone.
Everyone knows 1950's southern states in the USA weren't exactly the best place in the world for racial harmony and race relations. But why force the story to take the Doctor right there, in the same season they have Generic-Rich-Arsehole-Hotel-Owner-Dude mention and dismiss Donald Trump?
Chibnall is openly very far left and hammered his agenda with shocking bias into each and every episode. Two deadbeat white fathers in two different episodes; a white alien who looks like a normal white male, giving birth for crying out loud. Whitaker's Doctor mentioning the sexism of *1600s England* in the Witch Trials, making a fuss about the fact that if she were a man this wouldn't be happening.
Right after the awkwardness in the Rosa Parks episode, they flung the audience right into Partition India. It was like Chibnall was sat there thinking ''what can I shoehorn into this season to score the most social justice points with the leftist activist branch of my audience, to get the most virtue signalling rewards?" and it was like he was deliberately (and disingenuously) picking on times when ''white people did bad stuff'' to make some broader "point".
Chibnall is such an out and out wanker, honestly. He doesn't even really care about those issues he is just forcing them into to the plot to try and look righteous and edgy.
The level of hatred he has for white men in particular is pretty disturbing. A good channel for this is ''Bowlestrek'' on youtube, and he covers it with a lot more detail than I can here (he reviews and otherwise discusses Doctor Who, including show and non-show media and news etc)
[part 1 of 2]
@@10thdoctor15 [2/2] Suffice it to say that every single thing we're seeing with the bizarre agendas and politicisation of Doctor Who, is 100% deliberate, targeted and in-keeping with what has been happening all across the film and TV industry. What we're seeing, is a takeover by the radical left (just like what happened to Star Wars) There was even an episode where they take a shot at capitalism and the style of factory work used by Amazon. Chibs is clearly an outright socialist. He doesn't care about a very large section of the audience who felt alienated by the shambles he turned Doctor Who into.
Just look at reviews and reactions to Doctor Who's latest season and the Christmas episode (that was, by far, the worst thing I've ever seen in new Doctor Who post-2005)
The Doctor is a Gallifreyan Time Lord from a civilisation which is nearly as old as the universe itself, with a time and space transport that by itself harnesses more trapped power than some entire interstellar space-faring Empires (the Eye of Harmony in TARDISes, is basically a permanently trapped, miniaturised and time locked collapsing star happening over and over constantly to give the TARDIS essentially infinite energy; clever) For all their flaws, the Time Lords are so hilariously technologically and artistically advanced in relation to literally every other species in the universe, that from their perspective (however lofty, arrogant and complacent at some points) they were basically Gods among the stars.
And the humility and self-awareness of the Doctor to put aside the egotism of his contemporaries from Gallifrey, and seek moral principles over the dictatorial tyranny of individuals like Rassilon, always showed to my mind, that of all species the Gallifreyans and Earth Humans, were the most alike in all the universe. That is kind of the point - the Time Lords are a reflection of the Human race in the writing, going back decades. They are a muse on human nature itself, and the Doctor is perhaps the greatest of them all (not in every context, but generally)
Matters of race, gender and politics scarcely touched the thinking of the Doctor, and that is *precisely* why to him, it feels so forced.
Where the Doctor faced his inner darkness (or what Humans would regard, as the dark side of human nature, from a human perspective), is in fighting the Daleks.
They bring the darkness out of him like no other because, in short, they wanted nothing less than to genocide the universe. Abhorrent to the Time Lords in every single regard, the mercy of the Doctor, cannot easily be applied to Daleks.
Daleks defy the logic and the cultural elitism of Time Lord society - they force the Time Lords to resort to things they *never* would normally, and this was of course played out in full during the Last Great Time War.
The Doctor is forced to admit to all of his own demons and face them head on. He was always capable of violence and cruelty. And that is the side of almost any (apart from Daleks and several other ''baddies'', perhaps) sentient, especially advanced species, that they possibly subconsciously hate the most; the animalistic impulse and urge. The primitive, the brutul, the barbaric.
Yet in all-out-war with the Daleks, they had to resort to that level of insanity and barbarism. To face the black mirror of their own souls at a time when they'd already been living through a 10 million year long Dictatorship phase on Gallifrey (seems a lot, but Gallifreyan civilisation is around a dozen billion years old give or take a billion lol)
With all that in mind, it seems sad that Doctor Who is reduced to making 21st century ''takes'' on current events and issues such as Trump, just to appease the self-gratification based, lefty pandering fart huffing, echo chamber politics, of a writer like Chibnall. It is sad to see. It is blatantly trying to shit-stir and pick on white men when literally only a few radical leftists even cared about things like the Doctor's ethnicity or gender.
I get it, Time Lords regenerate and can come back as masculine or feminine archetypes. But how long before there are people saying, ''why isn't Doctor Who regenerated as a disabled trans Australian Aboriginal whose behavioural temperament is that of a marijuana smoking hippy?" :p if they *truly* practicised what they preached, they'd have made the Doctor a non-white woman NOT a white woman (there were, in fact, people genuinely complaining about this on social media, believe it or not; I'm not joking)
If Chibnall *really wanted* to be ''woke'' and ''progressive'', he'd have cast Doctor Who as exactly the above and revelled in the backlash. As it is, fan backlash was SO SEVERE (globally, not just in the UK) to the latest season and the ''special'' at Christmas, that the show went on a year hiatus and reports now suggest that the BBC marketing executives and producers have essentially given BOTH Chibnall and Whitaker their marching orders (whether this is entirely true, is not yet clear to me, though several high profile channels following it have made videos on the situation saying that there is good evidence that their contracts have been terminated or only extended to cover one last season then they are OUT)
Basically, it comes down to the backlash hurting sales really badly (mainly of DW toys and other merchandise - and next to nobody is buying Doctor Who action figures anymore lol) There is a very similar situation unfolding at Disney, which also ''got woke''. Star Wars merchandise sales have plummeted and people aren't buying the bullshit coming out of Disney anymore. Fans are wising up to the bullshit and smelling the coffee (or tea, as I prefer :) )
The sooner Doctor Who gets back to being what it was in the Eccelston-Tennant era the better. Unadulterated, heartwarming stories with an actual point and purpose, beyond spreading the rot of ''woke'' postmodernist politics. I'm so tired of seeing great franchises wrecked from within by infiltrating radicals trying to change the very heart, soul and writing DNA of what that Intellectual Property was.
It'd be like if someone tried to turn the works of Tolkien into a vehicle for Social Justice. Imagine that? Imagine if, when the exclusive rights to the Tolkien Estates one day pass from the Tolkien family (which, sadly, it one day will), some rich left wing wanker with a chip on their shoulder about the Tolkien Legendarium not being ''woke enough'', starts pumping their agenda into it? I shudder at the thought.
The very reason that stuff never got close to wrecking Tolkien's work, is that he had exclusive ownership and that his family inherited that. Sadly, the clock is ticking and one day it won't be exclusive intellectual property of the Tolkien Estates. It won't be long before we see woke Hobbits and pro-Mordor activists inside Minas Tirith demanding to let the forces of Mordor come in, because Sauron worship is a religion of peace :p lol By the 22nd century, anything as bad as that is possible in the future. Scary stuff. Even scarier than Daleks haha we saw that even Game of Thrones ruined itself, so I think Tolkien is in danger of being meddled with, in portrayals, too :( god I hope not. Leftists ruin everything they touch :/
P.S - clearly, if the next Doctor isn't a Disabled non-white trans Communist eco-warrior with a fetish for trees I say we riot!!! ( ;) )
Oh and, you can bet your last 10 pence that Chibnall won't ever criticise the Mongols of Genghis, Kublai and Chagatai Khan (etc) whom devastated Eurasia from Korea to Poland, slaughtering millions, or the Barbary Pirates of North Africa whom enslaved white and Hispanic Europeans for over eight centuries, or the Japanese Empire in WWII which committed repeated war crimes on Asians and Whites alike, the Chinese Communists killing more people than Hitler and Stalin combined, native American tribes raiding innocent white settler farmsteads (not all were innocent but most were) scalping defenceless men, women and children alive if they couldn't take them captive or didn't want to, on the frontiers of the Ohio Valley in the 18th century.
Nor will he look at the Medieval Timurids whom devastated the Middle East, or the Ottoman Empire of Sultan Mehmed II when it raped and pillaged Constantinople for 3 days straight back in 1453 after a 53 day long siege after which the streets ran with blood, or the hordes of Attila the Hun ravaging the Byzantines, Eastern Europe and beyond. No.
You won't have Doctor Who episodes set in any events which show white people being abused specifically by non-whites and mistreated in a way that is obvious, and you won't have sympathetic story lines for white victims of said abuse. You can also safely rule out Chibnall setting an episode in present day South Africa covering the murder of white farmers (he'd certainly try and do an episode about Apartheid South Africa, though, of course; fun fact - the Rosa Parks episode was filmed in South Africa as it happens -.-)
Everything is one way for Chibnall; you'll never, ever see fair balance from that kind of writer. For fairness, if he were a fair writer, he'd take the audience to the heart of something reflecting that situation; which would highlight how every ethnic group has done wrong in the past, not just whites. But predictably, Chibnall isn't concerned with that distinction at all, is he? *How convenient* lol
@lcyw20 I agree on the lego bit. But lets be honest it was a gimmicky stunt for new marketing purposes to shift new merchandise. Start/finish what was really going on. Doctor Who is/at least used to be a big money spinner for the beeb. Nevermind the fact the bronze look Last Great Time War era Daleks were already at the peak of Dalek technology and were the Daleks in their prime - plus they are way better proportioned and should have been considered the peak in design, both for narrative and aesthetic consistency.
The go-go Power Rangers Daleks were a cynical marketing ploy, little else. They were so unpopular compared to those seen in Eccleston and Tennant/or the RTD era LGTW Daleks, that even Gatiss and Moffat (often so smug on their high horses) retconned the New Paradigm Daleks to be leaders only not mainline replacements as was intended (which makes them murdering the ''inferior'' Daleks on screen pretty pointless)
It's like what has been happening in the beleaguered Predator franchise; with desperate attempts to make it well-received and popular again, by adding bigger and ever more over the top versions of themselves (there were ''Super Predators" or ''Berserker Predators" in 2010's, "Predators" and recently there has been an even worse film with a hulking "Ultimate Predator" or "Assassin Predator", in 2018' s "The Predator")
avp.fandom.com/wiki/Ultimate_Predator
For lack of originality, there is so often a desperate and obvious strive to prove it is good by making bigger versions of the originals.
The New Paradigm Dalek thing was just unnecessary.
P.S - do avoid stepping on LEGO folks, can confirm.

9:20 When someone sends you free stuff and you feel obliged to take about it for free you already fucked up. You need to make every single company that sends you anything pay you before you say shit about it on the channel.
But as someone who isn't really a Doctor Who fan i found this super interesting
One thing I never really understood was if the Hand of Omega, which was a stellar manipulator was then simply renamed as such or if there have been multiple stellar manipulators discovered and used in the books and audio plays. I always just figured the "Hand of Omega" moniker was because it was his personal tool, but then other references to stellar manipulators popped up and I was never really sure if it was the same one or the Timelords had mass produced them.
I like to think of the paradigm daleks as more like evil star fleet in their design than a single rainbow of colour
If extra coloured Daleks are added, eg green and purple, I kinda nickname them the Infinity Stone Daleks.
I really like Dalek Sec for some reason... I mean it’s just a black Dalek case, which had been done before.. and a name.. but I just love it and the whole Cult of Skaro!
Me too. It pisses me off he was exterminated.
I never understood how there were different Dalek types. Weren't they all supposed to be identical, anything different is wrong?
There's the black and white modei from "Resurrection".
Doctor Who is always a good topic!
Eaglemoss I have almost all the Romulan ship's from their Star Trek line still waiting for the Remian Scimitar & Fighter to finish my Romulan Repubic collection 😋
I'm just now realizing that Dalek's power armor is just as durable as other power armors from other media.
Every Supreme Dalek:
. The Daleks Invasion of Earth
. The Chase, Mission to the Unknown and The Daleks’ Master Plan (Fun fact, for the novelisation of The Daleks’ Master Plan, the cover of the book has the same design but instead for its parts being black, it was red.)
. Day of the Daleks
. Planet of the Daleks (Fun fact, this prop was originally made for a Doctor Who play titled “Curse of the Daleks” which had the same design that “The Chase, Mission to the Unknown and The Daleks’ Master Plan” Supreme Dalek but instead it had no slats. The prop was then painted gold to become the gold Dalek as seen in the 2nd Peter Cushing movie. Then, creator of the Daleks [no not Davros] Terry Nation, managed to obtain that prop and 3 others which were planned to be used in a Dalek spin-off series where the same Supreme Dalek was painted red to be presumably another Supreme Dalek but sadly the show never happened. Then the prop was painted gold and black and was used as the Supreme Dalek in “Planet of the Daleks” and finally, after that, the prop was painted red and black and was used in cereal commercial. That Dalek prop was repainted 5-6 times and was the Supreme Dalek for stage, movie, television and even a commercial.)
. Resurrection of the Daleks
. Remembrance of the Daleks
. The Stolen Earth, Journeys End, The Magicians Apprentice and The Witches Familiar
. Victory of the Daleks, The Pandorica Opens, The Wedding of River Song and Asylum of the Daleks
Greetings! I will subscribe to you now.
Super Sentai Daleks
Yes another Sentai reference
the ressonance of your voices makes you sound like a Dalek. good vid tho
I am really looking forward to a video about Omega. Hopefully we get a video about how the Tardis shaped Gallifreyan society and culture. And also at some point get a Cybermen cultural index video.
You forgot the original TV Century 21 Globe-headed Emperor - the best looking of all...
A video on Omega would be excellent
I just wish that they fully comitted to the new paradigm daleks depsite the designs or atleast give and in-universe reason for their disappearance.
I think the Paradigm Daleks were a missed opportunity. With only a few changes (muted colours, a reduction in size and proportion etc) they could have had a real place in the Whoniverse. As it is the Time War Daleks are starting to look their age simply for being the standard so long.
Supreme Daleks.
The more perverse bent of my imagination. Pictures 3 Daleks gyrating in the background. While one stands next to a microphone screaming.
Stop! In the Name of Love!
Or Diana Ross at the microphone. With 3 Daleks in the background
I'm so glad they did away with the larger multi-colored Daleks; from 'Victory of the Daleks.' They're so bulbous and plasticy they look to much like a toy. (Which admittedly was probably the point.) But it's hard enough to take trash bins with egg whisks attached as a serious threat without multi-colored toys trundling in too.
I called the Daleks Supreme 'power Ranger Daleks' because of the their garish colors and that they were in a group of five or six which I though was hilarious.
You forgot to mention the supreme Dalek from season 11 “death to the Daleks”
Sorry, I meant the adventure in season 10. A Dalek supreme that was black and gold exited out of a space ship.
My grandad knew the person who made the darleks
I loved the design of the paradigm daleks but I can see why a lot of people hated it. They'd never work as the replacement for the brass ones we know these days but the 5 multicoloured ones being in charge would at least be good video game material, like boss fights
Omega is a good boi but I'd love a video on the Zerg
Thanks I love myself the supreme and you mean some mes
Can we see the stuff you got
Infinity Stone Daleks
Can I just ask, the New Paradigm Daleks, what's the purpose of the Eternal Dalek?
Never said. Some people have guessed their job was to ensure the eternal survival of the race but nothing confirmed.
I kinda imagined the Eternal Daleks as the Supreme/Emperor’s royal bodyguards.
No mention of the ones with coin slots and a gumball retrieval port?
All the talk about the Imperial Daleks vs Renegade Daleks and not a mention of the possibility that the Renegades were aware that the Emperor was not a Dalek and as such reject the possibility of a non Dalek being being superior. In Remembrance Of The Daleks as Ace says with The Doctor in the race hate conversation with Rachel and Alison “Not pure in their blobbiness” “Result?” “They hate each others chromosomes, war to the death”. Davros didn’t trust the Daleks after the end of Genesis. Having tried to make himself indispensable in the Movellan conflict and still found himself looking down the barrel of a Dalek gun he sought a way of guaranteeing total loyalty, even in conversation with Tasambeka “Serve me with your total being, and I shall allow you to become a Dalek”. Davros’ relationship with the Daleks is like you’re sleeping with X amount of your own pet poisonous snakes, you may think you’re safe because they are your pets but are you really going to get any sleep! How could you guarantee you’ll survive the night, every night? The only way he could guarantee not being killed by his own creations was to create a new race of Daleks as dedicated to Davros as they are to killing anything non Dalek, the chicken and the egg solution except the Renegade Daleks don’t recognise the hatched content of the egg as a Dalek, therefore it must be exterminated and the Imperial Daleks are conditioned to protect and serve Davros and so must destroy any threat to him, and that’s why they hate each others chromosomes (Ace summed it up better).
Could you please do a vidio on why the sontaran styre has five fingers instead of three
I think the new paradigm would have worked if they werent rainbow colors, maybe silver with different colors for the spheres a d markings
The colorful Daleks always remind me of Power Rangers. The Power Ranger Daleks I called them.
I always thought they were how Daleks would look if they were built by Renault. The sort of Dalek to pick the kids up from school and get the shopping in.
Is it like chicken supreme?
Where in the World is the Supreme Council Dalek?
One single Dalek assimilated by the Borg. Imagine how that would alter the Daleks. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.
It would tear the Borg a new orifice. Then, if it was somehow subdued and assimilated, it'd probably tear the Borg another one to match the previous orifice.
Well, I could be mistaken but I think that Daleks are way beyond the means of the Borg to truly endanger the Daleks. Maybe if they really managed to corner one Dalek and try and assimilate it, they could attempt to move on to the rest of the Dalek Empire/New Paradigm Faction or whatever. I don't think that is likely. The Daleks in their own right operate, as do the Cybermen of course, surprisingly similarly to the Borg in one or two specific regards; in terms of their relentlessness but what I'm mostly getting at here is how they like to constantly upgrade.
Daleks have been established to be pretty terrifying when it comes to that, to the extent that even the Time Lords learnt a sort of begrudging ''respect'' for them (in the loosest possible terms) as they just kept on coming in spite of all the measures they were taking to stop them.
We're talking about Last Great Time War era Daleks onward, naturally; the ones with energy shields and radiation shielding. When fully powered Daleks are pretty appalling for most other factions to have to try and deal with. Just 1 partially damaged and power starved Dalek essentially presented an extinction level threat to humanity in 2005's ''Dalek'' episode. That was just a standard drone/warrior, not even one of the elite Daleks.
Please know, I'm not trying to dismiss Star Trek or the Borg specifically, as while I have a working knowledge so to speak on Trek lore and the Borg etc, I'm no expert on them. I'm aware they can make extremely fast upgrades and that Picard struggled to deal with them on many occasions. I'm aware they are very strong and make the Klingons and Federation etc seem a little weak. They are adaptive and learn when enemies try something new; near instantly upgrading to avoid further damage.
Well, guess what? The Daleks do that too. When the 10th Doctor had the idea of upgrading all the weapons of Torchwood to be able to use anti-Dalek bullets, it took the Daleks very little time at all to react. The Cult of Skaro was being fired upon by Torchwood *and* the 2006 Cybus Cybermen, and the Daleks noticed impairment/''damage'' on their shields. However, not a single Dalek was truly harmed and within seconds a Dalek simply exclaimed, ''ADAPT TO WEAPONRY!" and another said, ''FIREPOWER RESTORED!". Basically in the matter of a mere moment, they'd just upgraded and didn't have to worry about those weapons from then on.
Daleks are absolutely relentless.
As another example of their adaptability, it was worked out by several people including the Doctor earlier in his life, that a gravity field if used carefully can cancel out the Dalek elevation units (i.e. stop them from flying or hovering around, clearly something that could be advantageous) The character Scrum once rigged a high-frequency radio jamming field, that could counteract the motive unit. The Doctor seemed impressed at the work, but also warned Scrum that although he (the Doctor) himself had tried the same trick several times, this tactic will only reliably interfere with the Dalek's guidance systems (briefly) and only potentially impede the motive unit - and that it won't last long. In fact, he warned Scrum that he'd get 10 seconds *tops* before the Dalek worked out how to stop the jamming field. Again, the implication being that any old LGTW era style (or later) Daleks, could just tank that sort of trick.
Speaking of which, Daleks on a singular unit level alone, can (if their energy is sufficient and they are braced for the attack) capable of tanking *direct nuclear blasts* and are practically immune to radiation.
"It's fully formed now. I can't just throw a brick at it again. It's got a tough, radiation-proof casing. It's immune to every infection. It'd just blink at a nuclear explosion. If it could blink" - the 9th Doctor.
Dalek casings are also full of anti-tampering/anti-intruder booby traps and auto-defence mechanisms. Even if the Dalek mutant inside the casing was somehow killed, leaving it's outer casing dormant and apparently harmless, the truth is that the Daleks were well-aware of the desire of enemy factions to try and study or reverse engineer their work, so they took measures to prevent this. I think this would impede/maybe outright prevent the Borg from posing a true threat, in many ways, as well. They have hundreds of defence mechanisms apparently.
"We had to move it,' Scrum explained. 'Cuttin' Edge didn't have any room to work.’
'That was risky,' said the Doctor. 'Even a dead Dalek is dangerous. They've got a hundred different automatic defences.'
'It's all right, we didn't even touch it. I used a couple of cargo grapplers to shift it down to the hold.
'It's dead. I could crack it open with the right tools.'
The Doctor stared at him. 'Believe me, you really don't want to do that. Every Dalek has defences against that sort of thing. It would be like playing with a live hand grenade. The creature inside may be dead, but that casing is chock full of anti-handling devices and booby traps that would make your hair curl. There are enough self-destruct mechanisms packed inside one of those things to keep a team of bomb-disposal experts happy for a month."
- from Prisoner of the Daleks
Daleks are also insanely intelligent. I am aware the hive mind of the Borg is clever, but I think it is safe to say the Daleks are on a totally different level.
From what I've read and seen, the Daleks are essentially a Type V Kardashev civilisation if we're classing that based on their capability (in terms of actual distribution, number of systems owned, no they are no one - but that is not entirely relevant) The Kardashev scale is limited in many ways as it relies on power and energy control measurements, and the implied level of development of a civilisation it theoretically requires to get to that level of ability. It is complicated. The Daleks are capable, if unchecked, of not only destroying the universe of the Doctor Who universe, but any associated multiverse pocket universes etc connected to it.
They never get that chance because of the Doctor naturally, but still.
They have a universe spanning reach.
Then there is the fact they can time travel. I'm not sure the Borg could fully stand up to the Daleks. The Time Lords failed and they were the consummate masters of the time vortex prior to the Last Great Time War. Nobody else even came close to them (until the Daleks, that is)
As for the Borg, I'm not sure the Daleks would be particularly concerned with them if we put them up against each other.
It reminds me of the question, ''who would win, the Flood from HALO, or the Tyranids from Warhammer 40K?''.
Doubtlessly the Borg would, like the Flood/Tyranids situation, start adapting to the Daleks and vice-versa the Daleks would start adapting to the Borg.
But the Daleks are, at least as far as I can see, way beyond whatever the Borg have achieved. They are simply on a different level.
Again, maybe I'm missing something about the Borg as I haven't seen all of the relevant Star Trek series and its spin off films etc so I'm not necessarily accurate in saying the Borg would be outmatched.
If we're talking about retro Daleks from the original series and classic episodes prior to the development of the lore surrounding the Last Great Time War? (i.e. most of the Dalek eras really prior to new Doctor Who post-2005), then I think the Borg can handle them (at first) Maybe the Borg might even win. But remember, those Daleks became stronger by the time we see the Last Great Time War, precisely because of developments and evolutionary adaptation in their technology making them tougher (in-universe; whereas from a TV drama perspective, it is also partly because, well, filming technology just got better and ideas changed on how to portray them i.e. the props department got better and the TV budgets improved lol)
Maybe the best versions/eras of the Borg would just stomp the old school Daleks (who could literally be kicked out of windows and blow up or run over by a van lol) There there was the whole business of the ''eye stalk weakspot'' thing. Yeah, Daleks were inconsistent to begin with but I think that was more of a facet of production problems and limited budgets to be honest. Old Doctor Who was working on a shoe string, and was famously low budget and pretty conspicuous in being so (making the fact it still became an icon of TV history with a lot of good writing, all the more impressive in retrospect)
Star Trek had similar issues at least earlier on, I believe (in spite of American TV having a lot more money floating around in it in that era than British TV)
[1/2]
[2/2] Anyhow, I think it makes for an interesting fight. But if the Cybermen from Doctor Who (arguably more than a match for the Borg in their own right, in at least their later forms - similar to the Daleks, their older forms were inconsistently under-powered too) can't really scratch the Daleks, then I think it'd be a similar fight between the Daleks and the Borg. I'm well-aware that the Borgs and Cybermen have many unique aspects and are quite different in specific ways; but in many other ways, they are eerily similar. I'd even say that the Borg are Star Trek's answer to the much older (by conception and depiction) Cybermen (one of the Doctor's, oldest foes)
The key difference would be how, in spite of being mentally oppressed in their own torturous mental prisons, Cybermen are themselves more proactively interested and ''enthusiastic'' about upgrading themselves and they see upgrading as the central point of their entire strategy.
Cybermen's origins are from self-upgrading gone too far, dehumanising until their is no humanity left, with a shell of what they naturally were, being reduced to basic ''emotions''.
They are not quite as emotionless/dull as the Borg, and some do have some personality (by Cybermen standards, that isn't saying much)
Usually if a Cyberman becomes truly conscious of what it now is, and breaks its mental programming, it dies screaming in abject terror of what it has become. Basically, they go absolutely batshit insane if they realise what they are post-''upgrades'' (most never come close to risking being made self-aware, though)
Cybermen, crucially, have concepts of elegance and beauty - seeing their upgrades as beautiful and mocking the Daleks for having no concept of elegance (in their famous and much meme'd encounter at Canary Wharf) Even so, obviously Cybermen concepts of beauty and elegance are extremely twisted and warped, informed by mental inhibitors and self-brainwashing. The fact they try and destroy themselves if they know what they actually are in a thinking manner, free of their mental conditioning, says a lot.
The Daleks, in their own way, are very similar to the Cybermen (they had very similar origins too) They too can end up self-destructing and going insane if they start to learn emotions again or like, get influenced. Like the 2005 Dalek Rose touched, which began to philosophise about life because it had used human DNA from Rose touching it's casing (and her time traveller energy) to reactivate properly. Although it massacred it's way through the underground base before its final conversation with Rose, the fact it's hardwired indoctrination to the Dalek mission to destroy all life in the universe, kicked back into gear and the Dalek destroyed itself utterly in disgust (seeing itself as ''defective'' and worthless without a purpose, really depressed in tone), shows that helping Daleks be free of what they are, is nigh on impossible. They are born to kill and kill again. That is what they do. Some Daleks can be uniquely anomalous, but usually they are destroyed by their own kind as ''abominations''.
Daleks are even worse than Nazis - to which they are often compared - because unlike human concepts of evil, at least some within an evil human faction can have normal behaviour or remorse, fears, doubts and emotions. Daleks are essentially just the ultimate killing machines and they want to kill literally everything in the universe that is not a Dalek.
They have absolutely no grand plan for the universe beyond purging it of all life that is not them. They see themselves as the ultimate in evolution - in spite of being disgusting hideous mutants that are totally and utterly insane. They are so evil they make Nazis look tame by comparison. That is the level of horror they represent.
Whereas the Borg are more like a coldly indifferent horror, the Daleks are genocidal maniacs very literally programmed to hate. The Asylum of the Daleks, was even built by the Daleks to house particularly insane Daleks that exhibited so much hateful rage, that they started gleefully shooting at other Daleks. Not out of disloyalty to the Dalek Empire, bizarrely, just out of their hatefulness consuming them (and some ''normal'' Daleks keeping them in the prison, didn't want to exterminate them because they saw their exemplary hatred as ''divine'')
Daleks are messed up on so many levels -.-'
P.S - If the Daleks really wanted to, they could just time travel back to the first Borg and destroy them outright.
Daleks can time travel obviously, and though the Time Lords tried (and botched) attempts to remove them from existence in the time continuum first (which the Daleks used, somewhat understandably, as a pretext for an all out war against the Time Lords, triggering the Last Great Time War; the Time Lords messed up the whole situation and initially just underestimated them, a mistake that would haunt them forever after), the Daleks retaliated by trying to remove the Time Lords from existence too. And on and on it went.
Meanwhile, the Borg are highly unlikely to be able to contend with the relentless Daleks.
I'd give the Borg very low odds of surviving.
The Daleks wouldn't tolerate such a rival in the same universe.
@@ThePalaeontologist Wow that's...alot. XD
The Borg are similar to Cybermen only in that they have biological components. Beyond that is more than simple programming to upgrade. It's a drive to adapt and consume every thing with sufficient biological and technological distinctiveness. It is theorized that the Borg created V'ger. It is a hive mind that spans much of the galaxy. What one knows, they all know. Daleks have no hive mind. They and the Cybermen operate on a different premise than the Borg.
Eric Campbell, a DM and producer for Geek&Sundry who has run both Doctor Who, and Star trek table top games and watched both since childhood, described the Borg as "Beyond dark universe cybermen." Whatever that means. And seemed to think the two universes compared favorably.
And it's not so much that they are indifferent, it's that they don't consider a single "human" to be a threat. If the individual is a Dalek and possesses something the Borg identify as something they can consume, that changes drastically.
It only takes one successful assimilation. Which the Borg can do now to entire planets from orbit with nano viruses based on Janway's bio-molecular torpedoes, which were implied to be able to infect entire solar systems with high enough yield. Upon assimilation of new technology the Borg all adapt. All of them. Every Borg everywhere who is still connected to the collective knows what the others know. So running with the premise that they do manage to assimilate a single Dalek, then everything that Dalek can do, the Borg can.
It's technology would be under the collectives control so traps are irrelevant. Most of the suit would be repurposed into compatible components as assimilation works against machines even better than flesh. (As shown in ST Enterprise episode "Regeneration.") Dalek adaptation capacity becomes Borg adaptation capacity.
Hate is irrelevant. Emotions and genetic programming can be erased or rewritten upon assimilation as individuality is suppressed and the host becomes a drone. Altering physiology and genetic code is a standard part of the assimilation process. And the Borg can already time travel rather easily. If they ever got ahold of Iconian technology (likely with time, considering they consider the omega molecule to be perfection.) it would be over for everyone everywhere faster than they could react to. Which is one area I would say the Daleks are superior. I'm not sure how fast they can move through space or how far.
I won't argue though, I just consider it a fun "what if". It's all fantasy and opinion anyway.
@steve gale They assimilate entire worlds. This has been both stated and shown. Maybe watch the source material before you comment.
SUPREME DALEK TO ALL DALEKS: FOR THE EMPEROR!
40K FANS: HERETIC XENOS! BY THEW EMPEROR YOU WILL FEEL OUR WRATH!
SUPREME DALEK: EXTERMINATE THEM!!!
40K FANS: EXTERMINATUS THEM!
CHAOS GODS: LET THE GALAXIES BURN!!!!
0/10, No Supreme branded Daleks in the whole vid
I got the joke friend
How to beat a Dalek ....... walk up the stairs done
How to beat cybermen walk every so slightly faster
''Elevate!''
jeck jeck “bugger”
later versions of Dalek were able to levitate so that might not work as well as you are thinking... although tipping them over at the top of an escalator so they are continuously falling down them might work better...but they would really, really hate you afterwards
as to thwarting cybermen...try skipping away or running in a serpentine manner....or going full on parkour on your escape trajectory....
Marcus W Well the Daleks have been implied to fly since the 60s. We only started seeing them fly with Remembrance of the Daleks (1988)
Is that supreme Dalek or Dalek supreme?
👍
good luck to anyone who tries to order anything from Eagle Moss, they are terrible.
Yea, the Super Sentai colored ones just seemed silly...
YASSSSS
Finally someone makes a reference to Super Sentai instead of Power Rangers

I loved the new dalek paradigm when they were shown, I even loved the british army daleks, because they weren't the boring, bronze, no imagination, treating us like stupid unthinking idiots, multiple series without a change exept three unique colours as one off daleks. It such a shame they didn't use them.
I didnt like them people refer to them as the telly tubbie daleks thats why they scrapped em.i think
Omega is pronounced Ohm egga rather than Ohm mayga
Take a shot every time he says dalek...
P.S. please do not do this this was joke.
Thank you.
Goodnight.
Or day.
Love you.
Okay bye.
Bye bye.

Oh no
Here come the power rangers
I liked dr who once.
Talking, walking garbage cans. ....
First!
You have wasted my time everything you’ve said has already been said
The paradigm daleks were just awful and terrible and looked like tele tubby daleks! Whoever designed them needs a slap.... I'm just glad they were replaced with the bronze daleks
