Release of the iDaleks

I think that was a definite improvement, on the whole. Apart from that, what I said here: http://smallship1.livejournal.com/483825.html?thread=3382001#t3382001

Whereas I thought the plot was terrible (full of unnecessarily gaping holes) despite a very promising initial setup. Being military machines from their inception, with all the right design features (coming not that long after the real WWII), the original daleks were perfect for the role of camouflaged war-time pepperpots with little GB toy-brand flags. There's scope for Airfix to sell daleks alongside their traditional spitfire models now.

Must admit I hate the look of the new Daleks. Not even slightly menacing somehow.

Tea and Katy, please *g*.

It's the potential for fixing some of the plot holes that makes me wish it had been an old style serial ("No - we built you" and the bomb countdown being obvious candidates for cliffhanger part endings).
Of course doing it that way might have just led to more holes instead.

I'm not convinced by the new Dalek look either (though there have been multi-coloured Daleks before), but we'll see how they are used. Maybe there'll be another Dalek civil war if some more of the previous style ones survived somewhere else and aren't so happy to be exterminated by the new ones....
