OK, so that was a great second trailer for Series 9, with loads and loads of Daleks.
Except for those guys introduced in "Victory of the Daleks."
Alas, the New Paradigm.
Spoiler: The Daleks are back.
Spoiler: The Twelfth Doctor is not especially warm and fuzzy.
Spoiler: There's a lot of pew-pew-pew and boom-boom-boom.
Spoiler: For the second week in a row, it's not the A-plot that has me so excited about Series 8.
Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Contradictions.
I had low expectations of the Series 7 debut. Boy, do I have egg on my face.
The return of the Daleks. At the hands of Rob Shearman.
Yes, it's just as good as you remember.
In a time of GREATEST EPISODES EVAR, "Victory of the Daleks" meekly peeks its eyestalk out and asks the rest of the world, "Remember me? I wasn't that bad!"
(Big thanks to Mark Goodacre for posting Ross's review in 2MTL #129 while I was away.)
