I could go with that, still weakens them a little much, but it does work

I feel like the story expects us to view Galloway as the villain but I really don't. Is his compromise with the Daleks imperfect, yes. Is he going to be betrayed by the Daleks, always. Yet he is doing this to save tens of millions of people #DoctorWho #DeathtotheDaleks

At the risk of contradicting myself a little, I don't like how easily this Dalek is destroyed. It is interesting to have them without weapons, but the idea that if a primitive stabs them with an spear they just explode is going too far #DoctorWho #DeathtotheDaleks

The whole Daleks being defenceless sub plot is wrapped up fairly quickly. I would have liked to have seen a genuine alliance between the Humans and the Daleks. Masters of War is probably my favourite Dalek story because it does that concept perfectly #DoctorWho #DeathtotheDaleks

It is a bit obvious...

The first two people we see killed are felled by a single shot and yet here they don't seem to be able to hit anyone or anything. #DoctorWho #DeathtotheDaleks

I like the idea of the Daleks being without power. What threat is a Dalek whose gun stick won't fire? At this point in the show at least a Dalek who can't fire is no threat at all and that is an interesting concept I wish they had done more with #DoctorWho #DeathtotheDaleks

It is a fairly regular criticism that the comics wrap up quickly, but this one is enough to give whiplash #DoctorWho #Disintegrator

Converting it's own mass into power...I can get with that idea

I'm always there!

If every system in the TARDIS has completely ceased to function why does the translation feature still seem to work just fine... #DoctorWho #DeathtotheDaleks

This has all of the elements I loved in the 60's stories but for me they aren't really working here. I've surprisingly little to say about all of this #DoctorWho #DeathtotheDaleks

I would always have said that the #TimeMonster console room was my least favourite, but I think this is worse. It feels claustrophobic. The console is almost touching the wall #DoctorWho #DeathtotheDaleks

Say what you like about the rest of this episode, it has a brilliant opening scene #DoctorWho #DeathtotheDaleks

I feel like I should be enjoying this more than I am. It all just feels a little disjointed #DoctorWho #Disintegrator

There is definitely that same aesthetic

Apart from Green Death of course. I like this ending more than something big and emotional (here anyway). It also let us get a redemption story a few weeks later

I personally like the ending of this story (episode 6 has been really good overall) but it does have a He-Man style lets sit down and talk about the moral of the story feel, just in case anyone wasn't paying attention #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion

If this story were to be made today I'm almost certain it would end with Yates making a heroic sacrifice to save the day and atone for his betrayal. Here he just disappears from the story and we are told he is being allowed to resign in disgrace. Very understated #DoctorWho

There is an interesting comparison to be made here with #EnemyoftheWorld We have very similar stories and yet the people deceived here feel like they have far more agency than those in Salamanders bunker #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion

"I can only hope that in the future we shall be friends" Charles Grover is a fascinating character, willing to see countless Billions of people wiped out but unwilling to kill Sarah who he knows could ruin everything #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion

A scientist talking to a Dalek on the TV!

As much as I like this story, I can't see that the Time Lords would have allowed this to stand even if the Doctor had failed to stop them. Wiping out all of your ancestors sounds like the worst kind of paradox you could cause #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion

"Oh go and make us all a cup of tea" I love the confused Sergeant who manages to save the day with a cup of tea #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion

This is what I have been calling for more of, conflict between UNIT and the British Army. It makes for a fascinating dynamic #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion

Maybe I might have been better off sticking to the television to watch this, rather than watching in cinema mode on my quest... #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion

Not sure how I feel about the idea that the Daleks basically hire a group of criminals to run over a school boy for peaking through some curtains and seeing nothing in particular... #DoctorWho #Disintegrator
