Ah yes, Terry Nation, acclaimed writer of The Keys of Marinus, creator of the fan favourite Mechanoids. Of course he's a good writer! :P

Ah but I love the Mechanoids! I don't hate all of Marinus either tbf

savage burn on terry nation... but he gave us The Chase... tho that's a similar mentality to thinking I can be at peace with Mark Gatiss being a writer for so many underwhelming scripts coz it finally culminated somehow someway in maybe the funniest doccy who episode ever - Robot of Sherwood. Ohhhhh, the twitter poll makes Destiny of the Daleks, which is the next dalek story for me to see, seem ominous... which is a damn shame coz it has super cool artwork for the dvd cover.

I actually really like the Nazi allegories of the Daleks, I wish the flaws of fascism and the hypocrisy of the Daleks took more of a focus in future episodes, seems like the last time it was addressed was evolution of the Daleks…

This was the first and only Classic serial I watched as a kid, and interestingly I was far more enamoured with the scenes set in the forest than I was with the Daleks. I'd seen Daleks, so whilst it was bewildering to see them in black and white with some old man calling himself the Doctor, I knew what I was getting. But the forest with the primitive humans (as far as I remember??) is an image I've never forgotten. I think you're right that it really was every decision made in this story being correct that made the Daleks stick around, and not just the design.

Actually, tell a lie, that same holiday to Spain I watched a story with a man hypnotising another man to walk off of a building. Guessing it's a Delgado story, but don't tell me, I'll get to it soon!

@@thevacuumofcomments2946 - it was an extraordinarily slow scene as I remember it. Good for padding _and_ tension, it scared me way more than The Daleks.

Really interesting approach for a review, where you're discussing and dissecting the legend of the story as opposed to the story itself. When it comes to legacy, I wonder what story had the greatest impact on NewWho?
@thevacuumofcomments29462 жыл бұрын
Thanks! I suppose its because, in this case, the story is what it appears to be. There's not much for me to say that hasn't already been said. Just a solid production making a space adventure. Though the Legend of a story is definitely something I want to keep doing going forward According to Sandifer, probably ether Timewyrm Revelation (Paul Cornell's first Virgin New Adventure or Alien Bodies)

"Politics didn't exist until 2017, when TLJ came out!" ROFLMAO! Saying utterly hilarious things in a completely deadpan voice is a skill the British excell at. The sad thing is, certain people apparently do sincerly think more or less in the way that quote describes....

Every day I curse Ruin Johnson for inventing politics. Why would you invent something like that? All it does is make me start arguments. Worst invention, wouldn't even pass Dragons den.
