Day 140: The Power of the Daleks Episode 6

The Daleks finally put their plan into action here, and it's shockingly efficient. Before, every Dalek plan has always been foiled by the rebels, however here the Daleks are being used as chess pieces by the rebels, being used as weapons to kill the security guards. But then they suddenly turn on the rebels and start destroying them as well. We don't really get any big confrontation scenes where the Daleks state that they must do this for the complete extermination, and that they have no pity for the rebellious cause, instead they just destroy, rejuvenating the Daleks into something more. Meanwhile, the Doctor has a plan to stop the Daleks, but it's not quite working the way it should, and it only really works when a Dalek destroys the console that the Doctor is working on, causing their power supply to be destroyed. This brings to mind the new Doctor that we're going to be dealing with. He's more of an action based Doctor, actually doing things instead of leaving things to be done by his companions whilst he strolls around and formulates plans. Similarly, this new Doctor does have plans, but they're more chaotic, and more enjoyable to watch. This new Doctor has brought energy into the programme, and as the Daleks are destroyed at the end of this serial, we're reminded that this is the Doctor, and things are going to be OK.
