“They survive, they always survive, while I lose everything.” Poor doctor
see it’s sad because the show recognizes it but the daleks are too much of a cash grab for the doctor to actually destroy them all
@@cameron7441 Using the Daleks each year is actually part of an agreement with the Terry Nation estate (Terry Nation being the creator of the Daleks) to keep the rights to the Daleks, so it’s not necessarily a ‘cash grab’ - but I guess it’s a similar concept.
The concept of having a small group of individual Dalek 'characters' cannot be understated. The only problem with the Cult of Skaro as far as I'm concerned is that they weren't around for long enough. Nicholas Briggs had a unique personality in mind for each individual member of the Cult and it's a shame that three of them died in the same story and the last one was unrecognisable in his concluding story - they had immense potential as a vessel for storytelling that I think the writers at the time squandered in favour of cheap finale/hype spectacle
It’s interesting that Daleks In Manhattan + Evolution Of The Daleks was originally meant to be a 3 part story. Overall I still love the story❤️
Really? I didn't know that!
As a concept and as a story I love it, I’d love to see a revised concept of the design as a new Kaled, maybe a more human but quintessentially dalek face, in the same manner as the Silurians. Set against the pure dalek faction
JAMIE X Honestly, The Daleks In Manhattan and The Evolution Of The Daleks was a great idea, but it sadly didn't quite end up the way they intended.
I always loved these two episodes and was genuinely surprised that they were generally regarded as bad....
ATOMIC VINYL REVIEWS Me too.
Yes me too. Doctor Who fans are picky as fuck. Even though the worst doctor who episodes are miles better than most crappy CW dramas and procedural cop/surgeon/firefighter/ems shows today.
@@AtomicHaven that was until the chibnall era
@@colinmichels yep :(
Joseph Douek the only picky fans are the OT fanboys. The sequels deserve the criticism.
Dalek sec was arguably the smartest dalek. He was smart enough to realise the flaws in the daleks ideals and plans. “If we are supreme why are we not victorious”
Eh, For all their faults, the real reason the daleks are struggling is mostly cause they were all still recovering from the time war and getting into the doctors business while they were still building their numbers back up. If they had picked another relatively time sensitive world to travel to their plans with the genesis arc probably would’ve worked.
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 In the stolen earth they had regained their power and still lose. Also the Daleks lost in the first place which would also mean that they aren’t victorious and thus aren’t supreme
I love Dalek Sec. He is my favorite Dalek (Asides from the Dalek, in "Dalek" episode). And just love this quote "if you choose death and destruction, then death and destruction will choose you". It's been so many years since he became my favorite Dalek, and one of my favorites characters. Never understood why so many people hate Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks. :(
Bit late to the party, but my guess is the differences between Daleks and what Sec became. I think they don't like the idea of a Dalek becoming something more.
Personally I love it and it's a huge part of why Sec is my favorite too!
RIGHT! "Daleks In Manhatten" and "Evolution Of The Daleks" I've always thought phenomenally explored what it means to be a Dalek and challenges it in new ways to add more depth to the villains. People shouldn't overlook it cause it not an epic finale or..."Dalek".
Exactly this is one of my favourite stories of all time, it made me see the Daleks in a huge new light instead of treating them as generic villains. I loved the setting and the side characters, I didn't realise people even had an issue with it.
I actually liked this two-parter. It's not set in the finale, so it doesn't transfer too largely into the next episode, doesn't end on a cliffhanger. It was an interesting twist on the Dalek lore and new conflict for the Doctor to explore. I'd say these two episodes are needlessly underappreciated.
Completely agree. This was always my favourite Dalek story because it allowed them to develop and breathe as characters and we saw them at their most vulnerable. Plus David Tennant is always a joy to watch and I love seeing him working with the Daleks.
@@hollywark2885 and the soundtrack was some of the best of Murray Gold
@@gremlinwc8996 Agreed the music is soo good!! The evolution of the daleks song is incredible.
Honestly sans the dodgy accents there is nothing wrong with this story. Certainly not enough to reduce the writer to tears (that really happened)
227060 Right? People amount a couple dodgy accents and an ugly mask to a bad story. And that is why I rarely go into Doctor Who groups anymore.
@@AtomicHaven Honestly Dr. Who and Sonic are the worst fandoms in terms of division. I suppose it's inevitable because you have 13+ versions of the lead and however many showrunners and comanion teams.
Nevertheless people in the Who fandom I find are weirdly myopic when it comes to analyzing certain stories. I legit heard someone claim Smith was better than Tennant because he was more 'Doctor-ish'...wtf is 'Doctor-ish'? Because Smith sure as shit was nothing like Hartnell who is surely the guy who defines whatever the fuck Doctor-ish is.
227060 I don’t get why a lot of Who fans are so picky. Even the worst Doctor Who stories are miles better than most slog on cable now, only a few shows could compete with the scale of greatness. (Breaking Bad, Game of thrones, Sopranos, West Wing, etc.) And that age of television is over
227060 As much as I agree that the DW fanbase can be complete cancer, the claim that Smith is more “Doctor-ish” than Tennant does kind of make sense. The 10th Doctor was incredibly human and often lacked the eccentricity/otherworldliness that most of the other incarnations possess, which definitely isn’t helped by his era’s emphasis on family & character drama.
@@iHuzza Lol you do remember that Moffat's era had Rory and Amy having baby drama in the Tardis and River Song being revealed as their baby. Hell people were even speculating at the time that the 11th Doctor was the baby daddy. Smith's era is just as if not more obsessed with family drama. Calling the RTD era a soap opera is just a cheap shot when Moffat's era was way more soapy.
I have a deep love for Martha’s characterisation and I think she is easily on par with the rest of the companions. I struggled to watch the Eleventh doctors series’ and stopped watching for years, but Amy was an excellent companion. Headstrong, stubborn, kind and clever, I cannot fault her character. I think these are all the traits found in Martha too. She was all of these things but I think being sandwiched between Rose, the companion that set the stage for useful, resourceful female sidekicks: and Donna, played by Catherine Tate, an already well loved U.K. personality and (relatively) fresh comedic/loving/less intelligent but even more stubborn take on the companion, Martha gets lost.
Agreed Martha was very watchable and had great chemistry with anyone she met. Her character was so independent and resourceful but also down to earth and relatable. She's worlds ahead of the insufferable Clara.
The only problem with Amy is her treatment of Rory. She was absolutely vile to him and tried to cheat on him multiple times. She also hit him a lot and divorced him after Rory literally guarded her for 2000 years.
Something I love about Sec is that even before the hybridization, he questioned the Dalek cause. Gaining human emotions certainly helped, yes, but he acknowledges that Daleks may very well not be the superior race. "If Daleks are superior, then why are we not victorious?"
If the Dalek Sec hybrid would have survived,it could have ended all the pain and suffering of the daleks and a stop to all the hate and fighting. I like to think in an alternate universe,Dalek Sec survived and there is a planet full of peaceful hybrids.
I guess Sec was just lucky and the other daleks weren’t.
Or it could've culminated in a second dalek civil war, where the Daleks are fighting for either peace or dalek supremacy
The Cult of Skaro should've survived as recurring villains. Bringing the Daleks back properly ruined Journey's End. Imagine if every Dalek episode from this point onwards was just those four, keep up this illusion that a full empire Daleks are practically unbeatable.
Honestly, those episodes are some of my favorite Dalek episodes. Doesnt hurt that i also love the Human-Dalek Hybrid design used for Sec
I still think that a human-falek hybrid should have looked like the ancient Kaleds, but to each their own.
Same, I honestly don't get why people hate evolution of the daleks. Although Tallulah's accent is kinda goofy, she's a really supportive character of Laszlo and Martha and she really helps the story along. The Pig Slaves and Dalek Sec hybrid are supposed to look a bit mismatched because they are, and honestly they don't even look that bad. Soundtrack is near perfect, the action is really good, it's a really original dalek story that explores them in an interesting way, etc
“THIS IS NOT WAR! THIS IS PEST CONTROL!”
Yes, I did look this up in order to get it right, why do you ask?
“THIS IS NOT WAR! THIS IS CYBERBULLYING!”
@@aionicthunder Huh? I think you're also making a joke, but I don't get it. I'm just quoting a completely different (but related) episode. It's a gag I used to do.
Luke Landis Then allow me to show you one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen: m.th-cam.com/video/VmMxz4cMKuc/w-d-xo.html
@@aionicthunder Aha yes the bitch fight of canary wharf

@@melancholymelon5316 Don’t forget the “Disco Balls.”
I love the Daley’s In Manhattan two-parter! I swatched it the first time with my daughter years ago and was blown away by the depth of the story.
I miss good old New Who. 😭💔💔
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I just reread this now, and see that Autocorrect strikes again! 😑
Dear Stupid Smartphone,
It's DALEKS In Manhattan, DALEKS! And CLEARLY you've been hanging out in the beauty community too long if you think I SWATCH television. 😑🙄📱 *KICKS her phone*
@@farashahanem You know you could just edit it?
I miss good old new how as well especially after the crap I saw In season 11,12 . I miss when doctor who made me laugh and cry my eyes out in the same episode.
This is one of my favourite stories. Setting the story in Hooverville was genius and allows for such brilliant character moments.
Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks are actually one of my favourite Dalek stories, precisely because they’re *not* a finale and *not* focused on high stakes and drama, instead giving us space and moments to think about what the Daleks truly are. And I do really like it being set in the past, it makes it much easier for the setting to have a distinguishable atmosphere than stories set in the present day.
I like this two-parter, though I really wish the hybrids had survived.
Sec should have destroyed the rest of the cult and shown his more destructive dalek side and have him as a companion who's unbridled rage can get the better of him. Also would have loved to have seen his interactions with the supreme dalek and davros.
I agree 100%. Would have made a hell of a companion.
Definitely, we haven't had much (if anything) by way of alien companions in the revival series, especially compared to how many were in the classic show. Would've been interesting to see Sec join the TARDIS
Since the Cult of Siarro are trchnically time travelers, we could see them again, Sec is one of my favorite characters
I personally love the series 3 dalek 2 parter. Its different to to the normal dalek stories and sees the cults main task of exploring ways of survival explored.
6:06 That's not actually true. In Parting of the Ways, there were half a million daleks. In Doomsday there were, as the Doctor said, "millions".
I think Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks was good. One of the best in its series, actually.
I’ve always had a soft spot for this two parter. I love the setting and the daleks were great
You got a subscribe for #Justice4Martha. Glad I found your channel.
Martha is my favourite RTD era companion!
@@HarboWholmes I prefer Rose, Martha was a bit forgetful(maybe it's because I haven't watched the show in about a year) for me, but I'd be open to changing my mind.
Very well done essays! I really enjoyed watching them. Are you working on a part 4? Either way I'm looking forward to seeing what you create next!
Thank you so much! And yes, I'm currently working hard on the final part to be released early next week
8:40 Clara's theme starts playing, and I am like, "Aww, I love Clara!" Then I realized the connection between the Darleks and Clara, and started crying!!! That scene always gets me!!!
"I AM NOT A DARLEK, I AM HUMAN!!!"
*Dalek
I dont remember the episode but rusty saying "you are a good dalek" to the doctor really had an impact on me.
I mean there were 400,000 Daleks in the Season one finale, but a million plus four million cyber men. So the stakes were definitely raised.
Pretty sure it was 5 million cybermen. And the Genesis Ark was said to hold "millions" of daleks. But you could argue the Ark didnt have enough time to eject all of the daleks (despite the fact it isn't flinging anymore out when it gets sucked into the void). Or it wasn't full?
These episodes are so underrated. I really like them.
This is my favourite Dalek story. It makes me really angry to hear that Helen Raynor received abuse from the idiot fanboys over this.
@@erikalieben5476 I totally agree!
It's too bad that the Daleks never encountered the _real_ Cybermen.
great video, totally agree, underrated story :)
Thank you! I really wish the episode didn't get all the hate it gets, it deserves more
I watched like 3 videos (including this one) and I loved them all. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you so much :)
I actually like Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks. True, Tallulah was annoying, but the basic story was fine, certainly better than the rubbish Dalek stories in the Moffatt-era.
Daleks in Manhattan is probably my favourite dalek episode in New Who
Same!
I always find that scene where the Dalek kills two cyber men, they are across the hall but teleport to the Dalek to fall. And I just found this channel but I have to say these videos are well made, keep it up man.
Dalek Sec's assimilation of a human and change in personality could be seen as a metaphor for Jesus. God in the Old Testament was consistently cold and unforgiving before becoming human and the Hebrews expected that once that happened, they'd get a ruthless strategist to lead them to salvation, but they instead got a merciful pacifist and as a result, turned on him like what the daleks did to Sec. They couldn't have a nice leader either.
It just isnt a metaphor for that tho
I think it's a mistake to think of God as unforgiving in the Old Testament. Yes, he makes it clear that he is not someone you want to mess with, but at the same time he is incredibly generous to the Hebrews, taking them back even after they betray him, on numerous occasions. If the relationship between God and his people is like a marriage, some have even interpreted God as akin to an abused partner constantly forgiving the other's errors.
This Daleks in Manhattan is one of my favorite 2 Parters
I always get goosebumps in rtd era reveals the best being the cult of scaro in army of ghosts and the exterminate audio in stolen earth even when I knew the daleks would be there that moment is brilliant the fear in everyone even jack as the daleks voice echoes across the world it's the best reveal in doctor who history in my opinion
Oh yeah, the daleks killed people in the Davies era. People died. None of that everybody lives crap.
Definitely, that added so much weight when everyone could live. “Just this once, everyone lives!”
Wolfoe 3604 oh yes! “Are you my mummy?”
I’m not quite sure what you mean? The show is still like that? It never stopped?
Did they have the Doctor in close up shouting, "Daaaaaalek Khaaaaaan!!!!"?
Very nice analysis. You deserve much higher view counts for these and more subs ;)
I’m gonna be completely honest I’m not ashamed to say it, please respect my opinion
DALEKS IN MANHATTAN AND EVOLUTION OF THE DALEKS ARE MY THIRD FAVOURITE DOCTOR WHO STORY AND MY SECOND FAVOURITE DALEK STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes this is definitely my favourite Dalek story and easily one of my favourite stories in the show. The whole look, setting, depth of characters, historical context was amazing and I don't care what anyone says.
Enjoyed you video thanks. I have always loved these episodes too
very well put!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed watching
You deserve WAY more subs and views!
Aw, thank you! I just like to share my thoughts and interpretations, so I'm glad you like it!
I hope your videos get more views. They are brilliant.
That means so much to me, thank you! I'm just going to keep plugging away as long as I enjoy making them :)
5:13 Eh I don't know I mean did you see how many cybermen they killed without losing a single dalek before they opened the ark
🎶Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig,
Does whatever a Spider-Pig does.
Can he swing
From a web?
No he can't,
He's a pig.
Look oooouuuuutttttt
Her comes the Spider-Pig."
ok so.....here me out if the cyberman want to be upgraded or something like that what if the cyberman transformed the Daleks into a indestructible being and what if the Doctor got hold of that being like as a guardian or as a sentry for the tardis
For the master mabey but with the doctor it has to be similar to handles I think for the doctor to ever consider his worst enemies being in his tardis
@@Devastator21 nah a cyber dalek would just kill the master and then never appear again probably
@@Devastator21 In 'Scream of the Shalka' (an animated story from 2003, with Richard E. Grant as the Doctor), the Doctor has an android version of the Master (played by none other than Sir Derek Jacobi) guarding his TARDIS.
I still feel like more could be done with Dalek/Cybermen war. Especially with the advent of a Death Particle.
The only thing I don't like from the two-parter is because the pace kinda drags. A lot of running around without really moving forward. But Dalek Sec is *awesome*. The theme of race purity is also apt with the setting.
Nicely done. You deserve more likes for it...
6:48 I remember in The Dalek Tapes documentary from the Genesis DVD, maybe Terrance or someone said it, but after the first Dalek stories all of them featured either companions leaving or dying and I feel like Rusty was echoing that here
Although, the Doctor, in the Time War's case, thought Gallifrey was destroyed and not just in a time pocket or something.
The five doctors in the classic series had daleks and cybermen, so this was not the first time
The main problem with DALEKS TAKE MANHATTAN is that DR.WHO never writes Americans accurately.
Oh, as a British viewer I never noticed anything beyond somewhat corny writing. Would be interested to know what bits of American culture were completely misunderstood.
I think it's interesting to think that they originally planned to film this two-parter on location.
I love Daleks in Manhatten and Evolution of the Daleks and the fact that they were written by a woman is amazing, however I feel its a shame Moffat never penned the stories, it would've been lovely to realise earlier on that Moffat and Dalek stories go just about as well as nails and a chalk board, perhaps some future mistakes, not naming any Asylums I mean names, could've been avoided
Its like the Star Wars Prequels. On paper, these episodes should be great. Execution was a little wonky. Things could have been done to make these episodes live up to the caliber of the other Dalek episodes but it wasn’t a bad couple of episodes. Maybe this is just what its like when RTD doesn’t write a dalek two parter
To say that Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks were the weakest Dalek Story in the RTD era probably wouldn't be incorrect, but that doesn't mean they're a poor story, anything but.
I cannot stop bingewatching this channel now that I've found it, not gonna lie #quarantinelyfe
I’ve always believed that Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks is a very underrated story. I highly disagree with the popular opinion that it is a terrible story because it actually isn’t. If you can look past the bad accents, peculiar setting, green screens and campiness it’s actually a very good story once you understand it’s purpose and meaning. The most important character to this story isn’t the Doctor or Martha it’s Dalek Sec and his gradual transformation of humanity. Each scene we see him he becomes more and more human and also the wiser he becomes. Dalek sec is arguably the most intelligent and wisest Dalek to have ever lived, by embracing his emotions and defying the philosophy of his creator he realised that the Daleks were always destined for extinction because of their obsessive need for Purity. He is so desperate to teach his old comrades that they must change their old ways if they hope to survive but The Daleks cannot let go of their purity and Facias ideologies to the point where they even betray their old friend and demoralise him keeping him a reminder of shame. The doctor is even heartbroken and furious at the death of Sec because it was the first time that his greatest enemy became his best ally and the closest he came to saving the Dalek race without killing them. I wish that Sec had stayed as a temporary companion with the doctor finding a new planet 🌎 to inhabit and populate but obviously this didn’t happen. Props to the actor Eric Loren for giving a fantastic performance as both Mr. Diageross and Sec (I at first thought that were two different actors) he does a really good job at conveying a Dalek with emotions. Overall I give the story an 8/10. The final confrontation with Dalek Caan at the end is also beautiful because it shows that the doctor despite all the murder and destruction is willing to save his oldest enemy from extinction because he has seen too much death and destruction over the centuries. I also feel the story is a nice call back to evil of the Daleks while still managing to be it’s own unique story. Ofc ppl will disagree with me and that’s okay to each their own as they say xx
i honestly adored these episodes and saw them as strong and plot heavy episodes
Your videos are great. I love Doctor Who TH-camrs like you and Samuel Davies. I could do with less Classic Who spoilers tho ;)
Thank you! And sorry, Classic Who is kinda hard not to spoil. I'll try not to in the future haha!
@@HarboWholmes - no, no, it's always relevant when you use it, but a warning at the beginning or in the description would be awesome. I've just started watching Classic Who. Doctor Who and The Silurians wasn't the best, but Spearhead from Space was great!
@@nightowl8477 I love that one, classic Auton introduction? And a good intro for Pertwee despite the lower budget Nestene consciousness which was more squid like?
There weren't more Daleks in The Parting of the Ways, the Doctor says that 2,000 Daleks on board each of 200 ships is about half a million Daleks, whereas there were millions of Daleks in the Genesis Ark.
I so miss those days
Every time this guy says: ‘Dalek’ take a shot
I want a drinking game, not a suicide.
Helen should have been the writer to go on the work on the first female Doctor...
10:06 oh boy, just wait until this new season.
Just to note, there were only half a million Daleks in The Parting of The Ways.
i'm rewatching Doctor Who and my next episodes are Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks.
I would honestly have preferred if Rose Tyler had died, rather than just being stuck in a parallel universe; I love the tragic elements of the Time War and the Doctor (supposedly) being the Last Timelord. It gave a certain gravitas to his character, and in general I just find tragedies greatly underappreciated in modern media; It's not demoralizing at all, to see a beloved character enduring hardships and loss - on the contrary, seeing a fictional character deal with and overcome personal tragedies is incredibly inspiring, as it gives me hope that whatever adversity I face in my life, I too can persevere.
The Cult of Skaro were wasted. I've written a Dalek story in the style of a nazi experiment type thing. It's a great idea from Russel.
I'm planning something with the infamous cult for something of my own... a little two part episode in a crossover series (so each episode would be a different crossover in animation, I'm guilty of being indulgent like this... I am an animator though 😅) I want to do as a project... with the Doctor's present being the Cult's past with 10 having to set up his own past for the events of Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks (much like how 7 did in the comic "Emperor of the Daleks").
There are so many episodes I didn't realize people hated. Like yeah not every episode is a banger but why do some people even watch the show if they hate so many good ones too lol
I agree why do people watch the show just to give good episodes hate. These episodes have always been one of my favourites. The whole point of Doctor Who is take you into different worlds and this episode did that so beautifully. This is a million times better than Chibnall and Moffat's Dalek episodes yet the virgins on Outpost Gallifrey
Personally, I really liked those episodes, I think they were some of the more interesting episodes featuring the Daleks.
Great video but a newspaper didn’t really ruin the reveal of the darleks in series 3 considering the episode literally has them in the title so if anything the show ruined the reveal
it would be funny if the cult of scaros names were Dalek 1, dalek 2, dalek 3 and dalek 4 ahahah
7:16 perhaps that is why the Doctor has this aloof attitude towards Martha.
I love Dalek Caan. Dalek Sec is great too but his development was mainly a result of him turning into a human hybrid. Caan was still 100% Dalek when he had his change of heart. He's actually the only Dalek apart from Rusty who turned on his race without needing to be part human.
The stupid ending ruined it for me with DNA somehow being transferred by electricity WTF? Pig people kinda sucked too.
But yeh thematically they were good episodes
It would make more sense if he was somehow an insulator and reduced the amount of dalek DNA that merged, allowing them to retain their humanity. I get the foreshadowing bit, but they didn't need to be part Time Lord. The very humanity which the cult set out to distill is the thing that kills their plan.
Youre so underrated
Daleks In Manhattan/Evolution Of The Daleks are far from great but they can't be considered the worst when Victory Of The Daleks and Into The Dalek exist lmao
I like both of those stories more actually. Its asylum of the daleks thats like the worst new who dalek episode. Or maybe the witch’s familiar,
Daleks are too pure to exist in real world.
Why’d you have to put that damn Doomsday theme in there? Why? Why?
Is part 2 deleted? Can't find it :(
Really? That's weird, it's definitely still there for me
@@HarboWholmes Edit: I'M BLIND ignore mr
In theory, this two parter is brilliant. But I think that the execution was poor.
Agreed, this 15 minute video discussing it shows the good plot points and the fact the underlying story along with the themes are good. But the execution wasn't. Now, that's more on the director (and RTD for his editing) than the writer, but we see what's shown, not what's intended.
I feel sorry for Dalek sec
Take a shot every time he says "Daleks."
I’m gonna be hated for this but I’d rather Steven Moffat wrote the dalek story than write blink. I’d like to see what he would’ve done
sick
What a smashing video.
Thanks
Ant p uk Teacher
The one criticism I have of "Daleks take manhattan" is they should have set it in the 1930 instead of the 1920.
Why
It was set. In 1930
Sorry, got mixed up, 1940's instead of 1930's
The themes of purity and fascism would have stuck a lot harder, they don't tend to talk about the popularity of eugenics and fascism in the allied countries, but in 1939 the 'german american bund' (the US nazi's) filled madison square garden, and post WW2 america brought in 1000+ nazi scientists and gave them high end jobs and such. The daleks always were a parellel of fascists and eugenicisists, yet bar a minor situation in the revolution of the daleks with an oswald mosley stand in did they ever really come into contact with the human equivilant. Human daleks have been done a few similar ways before with stuff like the emporer's daleks and such, but if the daleks could see themselves in humanity as much as they might with bigots and nazis and such, it'd hit a LOT harder
It crazy im listening to you but seeing them flying over London i can hear the dalek them
Ohai Rose again. Ohai Martha. Ohai daleks. Ohai cybermen.
Ohai Cult of Skaro. Ohai David Tennant.
Man, poor Doctor. Loses his entire race. Meets his true love, loses her. Atleast he has a best freind, nope, she’s gone. Well atleast he has... ok he doesn’t have anything. Atleast he still has the TARDIS, and his sonic screwdriver. That’s enough, right? Right? Right?? Atleast he’s still alive, no wait, he’s gone now. He’s regenerated into a worse actor. Poor Doctor.
Really makes you think...
Elijah Ford He’s got his race back, and who is his “true love”. And what’s wrong with the actor?
I’m only looking at the Davies era. Moffat kind of dropped the sad boy characterization. Bringing back Galifrey was a paticularly stupid idea. Do I even have to say who it was? I think it’s pretty fucking obvious. Matt Smith is a worse actor than David Tennant.
@@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770 I'd take Smith and Moffat any day over Chibnall and Whitaker
@@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770 Be fair: Tennant was a much more experienced actor when he was cast, whereas Smith was younger than a lot of actors are when they get their big breaks. I thought Smith was great, and the only criticism I tend to see of his Doctor seems to boil down to the fact that he isn't David Tennant.
What was this? 0:11
Great vid, definitely earnt a subscriber from me!

Evil of The Daleks is superior to Evolution of The Daleks.
nah why did you have to use the doomsday music though, pure triggering
