Day 164: The Evil of the Daleks Episode 2

And so this episode, not content with just having the Daleks involved, also decides to involve time travel. The ways in which it's involved are wonderful though. For a start, it's used to travel from one place to another, which means that the story is able to flow seamlessly from the previous story. Instead of having the harsh jump between a modern day adventure to a Victorian Dalek story, now we get to slide and so the series feels more real, so that the characters feel slightly realler because of this sense of continuity making the stories seem more real, not just a generic science fiction show. But time travel is also used for a Victorian gentleman to take pieces from his time, and sell them as antiques in the future, which is such a wonderful idea, showing that Whitaker is able to play with ideas and concepts, which draws curiosity for this viewer at least as to how this story will play out over the next couple of episodes.
