Interesting video...I actually watched 'Power' as a Dalek mad 8 year old on gloomy November Saturday evenings in 1966. I clearly remember the torture of having to sit through the interminable football results before Dr. Who and the excitement and anticipation the Daleks always generated .

I think it's Colin Baker's best story. The social commentary in it is even more relevant nowadays. It does what proper sci-fi should do, use a futuristic setting but get it talk about an issue of the day.

Omega was a brilliantly camp shouty villain and having all 3 original Doctors in the same story and for the last and only time makes it a bit more special to me than it probably is lol

I planned to show more of his campness following the scream but the KZfaq copyright bots disagreed. It is very entertaining but maybe not quite as effectively dramatically as I would have liked. But I agree the story does have a feeling to it of being a special moment.

Time Heist was certainly an episode that was made. The whole arc with Karabraxos wanting to change her past and all the clones was just so random and didn't make sense. She was a direct rip off of the Matron from the walking fat episode in how she acted and spoke. Psi would have been a better character to focus on with his memory wipe but Moffat will Moffat

The 2nd Doctors run was hampered by so many base under siege stories that this one sticks out so much and probably why it's one of my favorites 😁😁It's probably why Patrick liked it too. It was very creative and over all well paced.

8/10… It was quite an interesting plot. Not too complex but not too simple either. I loved how useful the companions were during all of this. I really enjoyed the interaction between Harry and the 4th Doctor. Harry seems so eager to get involved and be useful but also seems to like to learn new things. Sarah nearly out of breath and getting sucked into this mess was exciting. Later The Doctor even used her for their plan to stop the enemies. When she was stuck he pushed her so hard coz he knew she won’t have it. But I’m surprised how whiney Sarah Jane became since the last 2 serials of the 3rd Doctor. She was much more confident during her first 3 serials. It’s still enjoyable and not as annoying as Susan but what’s up with that? The Wirrn looked cheap but yet so effectively creepy. It worked overall.

NuWho seems to suffer from the and then style of writing instead of giving the characters motivations that drive the plot. I watched Revelation of the Daleks after seeing the first Cyberman 2 parter of NuWho and honestly the classic series fitted in more story with character motivations in the same time 🧐🧐🧐🧐 The Rose/Doctor combination in the 1st 2 series of NuWho was the most insufferable out of any doctor/companion combination

If power is their life, why wasn't their power plant guarded and the cave access to it blocked? How could a full grown man fit inside a dalek shell? Why was there only one dalek delivering food ( I presume the daleks grow vegetables hydroponically to extract nutrient which is injected directly into their veins), and not another dalek covering the prisoners with its energy weapon? If the daleks thought they were the only surviving race, why did they have weapons? Why didn't the preserved and good condition of the city make the TARDIS crew more suspicious?, etc, etc. The daleks are a type of alien that was rather common in the pulp magazine science fiction of the 1930s. The aliens in Ray Harryhausen's EARTH VS THE FLYING SAUCERS were like bipedal daleks.
