What did you expect? They couldn't change the Daleks otherwise it'd be wrong!
WRONG!
They could have put a bit more effort in, though - make the sink plunger maybe a little more threatening. And make the chunky rubbish base bit a bit more stylish. Love the coppery colouring, though. The top bit looked pretty classy.
But still, Doctor Who > all weekend and most weekday asspump.
I think that the whole point of this series is to give a background to this big "Timewar" where the Doctor's race was destroyed (and that Daleks with it). Have you noticed how unhinged he's been in this series?
He never used to be like that...

'Tis great.
You can't blame him for being a bit p****d, but I like the whole maybe-not-such-a-great-guy-after-all routine.
Even if last night did sometime teeter on the edge of over-sentimentality it wasn't what I was expecting from an episode with Daleks in.
Massive Doctor Who fan that I am I remember the last time Dalek's climbed the stairs, and that was just shoddy.
There were no stupid farting monsters present from the last 2 diabolical episodes and back to the stunning character driven charm of "The Unquiet Dead".
The Doctor has clearly become the anti-hero, gone are the times the Doctor would tell Leela to put the knife out the window. Anti-Plastic, withholding moisturizer, gas explosions and hunking great missiles, this is a Doctor who is angry, and he is not afraid to say it. Fancy that, the most tense well paced Doctor Who episode yet and it is the Dalek you want to survive by the end. Slightly eye dampening, the final battle of the Time War comes to an end with the Doctor as the aggressor.
Perhaps the time has come to move on the Doctor and this new, unhinged, unbalanced Doctor, influenced by the ever brilliant Rose Tyler is exactly what the series needed.
Is this the end of the Daleks though? Not a chance.
Fantastic.
The dalek getting infected with filthy human DNA was beautiful.
Rose *touches dalek*
Dalek *slides to bathroom*
Dalek "unclean, unclean, unclean"
I personally think it probably one of the best things that has been on TV in a while.
