I loved your reaction. This is one of my favourite episodes but your jokes about what the dalek says cracked me up. It still scares me to this day!

This one's an odd for me as my over all opinion changes every few times I watch it. Obviously it serves partly has a background building episode, filling in some more of the details of the events that happened the between the original series, the first failed attempt to reboot and now. But also has the difficult job of creating a believable story centred around an original series villain. But has to make the threat feel convincing to a modern audience. Not that they would have considered changing the design, as it's as synonymous with Doctor Who as the Tardis is. But as I understand it, the BBC have shared ownership of Dalek character with it's creators estate. Regardless of that small detail I agree that Christopher helps almost immeasurably to get this story over the line. I never come away disliking the episode but how much enjoyment I extract from it differs some what each time.

Really enjoying watching you encounter all varieties of Who - the comic and the serious. And to see that the poignant gets through to you even when there is stuff that is a little (perhaps unintentionally) funny. Agree with you 100% John re. Chris Ecclestone's performance. I think he is not given enough credit - perhaps it might not have been the runaway hit it became without the later Doctors, but without Chris I don't think it would have happened at all. Inspired casting of a serious actor for the role. Don't worry - Rose is not always the damsel in distress. The Doctor is always the genius in the room, but that doesn't mean that Rose can't save him too (as she did in the very first episode - and although she kicked off the trouble here, she also stopped it). The Daleks had children hiding behind sofas back in the day (I was scared of them!), but it was a bit of a standing joke that all you needed to stop them was a flight of stairs, or even a low wall. So this 'elevate' was a real punch in the gut for those who thought they knew the Daleks. And the Doctor is not just talking to nothing. This is pretty old school - the guy voicing the Dalek is in the same room. I think it's the same bloke who did it back in the old series, but don't hold me to that - someone else can fact check me!

Eccleston meeting the Dalek is one of my favorite moments of his in this show!! It gives me chills. His acting is so fantastic and also the first time I saw the scary side of the Doctor. Like John I had seen a few random episodes before truly starting the show. I was 14 then and it was all very wonderful and mind blowing and when I first was truly getting into sci-fi and fantasy. In my head the Doctor has a very firm position as the hero character and very good and righteous. To see his capacity for hatred, even see him screaming “die!” At this chained and tortured thing...I was entirely enrapt in the whole scene. So even now every time I watch it it gives me chills. Part of why I love this show is the Doctor’s complexity. The moral dilemmas and his own capacity for evil or misjudgments he has to face. You were talking about Rose and that’s part of where the companion’s role comes into place. All companions are very different, but they are always a great plot device for 1) causing trouble and 1) giving someone the Doctor has to explain things to. And your first companion is usually whose eyes you see everything through at first. But the Doctor always travels with someone partially as a moral compass. He always kind of reminds me of Galadriel from LOTR when she considers taking the ring from Frodo. She’s this source of wisdom and force for good, but given too much power and pride could become this terrible, evil thing...even through good intentions. The Doctor is like that. So he has to travel with someone who will keep him grounded and in check. Oh and don’t worry about Rose! This show has character arcs like no other! Even for characters you would never even think to give arcs

Sooo...to add even more to this long winded comment section. I don’t know if you might already be planning for it or maybe don’t even know about it, but Doctor Who has spin offs. One short lived and geared toward an even younger audience...it’s cute, and then one really good one that begins coinciding with series 3. You don’t need to know too much about it yet, but it’s geared a bit older and is a little darker than Doctor who yet. It has a few seasons that are really good and have some crossover elements and then a few special seasons that are more like miniseries, also fantastic and REALLY pretty dark. You’ve actually already met some of the cast and characters within the background characters of Doctor Who in just the first five episodes. I really really hope you watch it! It’s a ways out as, like I said, it starts when DW season 3 starts. It’s not necessary to enjoy DW and not even all whovians have watched it or love it, but I think you two would really dig it. I didn’t know if you were aware or not or probably already have a schedule that’s too packed and might not even be able to do it. But that’s also why I bring it up now so maybe... 😊😛 ...you might be able to swing it. Honestly you guys have taken faster to Doctor Who than I’ve ever seen anyone (and I’ve converted quite a few 😛) I think you’re familiarity with sci-fi and ability to suspend disbelief at old effects, even appreciate them! Greatly helps. I’m looking forward to seeing so many of your firsts with this show!! And it was great fun seeing you react to your first Dalek

More background (sorry) while talking about the role of Rose - there was a very telling update when the series rebooted. The people travelling with the Doctor in the TARDIS used to be known as his ‘assistants’. In the modern version, they are ‘companions’. It was a very important and deliberate change In vocabulary (Actually, very first co-traveller was his granddaughter - the Doctor was originally portrayed as an elderly man).

There's references to Daleks in lots of American Pop Culture. Simpsons, Sesame Street, Classic Rugrats, Lego Batman Movie, Looney Tunes Back in Action and South Park did an episode where Germany create a Dalek inspired robot called FunnyBot that shouts, "AWKWARD" instead of "EXTERMINATE"
