    Been away since Saturday morning; only just got to see the episode. And now watching it again. Wow! Maybe not awesome, but wow!

    I've seen comments about all the older designs of daleks, and their lack of movement. They probably/possibly don't/can't (for various practical reasons).

    As for retcon/reboots etc., it all got a bit complicated for me with the remembered/recreated universe after the newest Big Bang. Wibbly wobbly, timey-wimey.

      There is a big differance in that.
      Yup. I'd have said "target audience" but four is probably even below their expectations.

        Which I think is just an excuse for bad , errornous witing.. And a way to rewrite canon.

            The same actress will be the next companion.......But I was hoping as a Dalek she would have made a very uniqe companion. She had her own mind just in a Dalek body. But I guess I would rather see her as herself ...... "shrug"

            What gave it away for me was the room Oswin was in. It was a small dome room and I thought " ah...... inside the dome of a Dalek...

              And the "window" was round and usually littered with Dalek eye-stalk graphics.

              My bigger concern was the Doctor transporting into the TARDIS as a safe place. Last time he wasn't surrounded by more than a rag-tag survivalist group of Daleks, he said the TARDIS was nothing more than a wooden box. What has now made it untouchable again?

                had he not gone for the gloat I would have said he could escape quickly in the TARDIS, last time the Dalek's disabled the TARDIS. granted the Daleks could have done that this time, but maybe the Doctor has found a way to beat the disabling tech.

                the TARDIS did disappear quickly, so maybe he set up the TARDIS to de materialise on the door closing.

                but it is a big set of maybes
                People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint... it happens to kinda look like the name 'Jeremy Bearimy' in cursive English.

                  Seems to happen a lot, wouldn't be surprised if it's a feature. The ultimate answer is that it would make for an awfully short series if The Daleks killed The Doctor on sight.

                          I'm going to be a little behind on Doctor Who this season/series due to college and related evil things but I did finally catch Asylum of the Daleks and loved it! One of the best Dalek stories I have seen in a long time! (Although I liked Victory of the Daleks as well, but after all the RTD styled Dalek stories that residue remained) I got pretty excited at the revelation that the Daleks no longer remember the Doctor, Doctor Who indeed!

                            I had a thought about Oswin last night and something that Steven Moffat said recently in an interview.

                            (Spoilered for speculation)

                            Spoiler:


                            The Moff said

                            And this never goes away, this thrill – you want to see the reaction when you see it’s bigger on the inside, you want to see the count the hearts moment, you want the story to begin again.
                            I just assumed probably along with everyone else he was talking about the Doctor, but then it struck me - what if he was talking about Oswin? What if Oswin is a Time Lord and the interior of her Dalek is actually a TARDIS or some version of a SIDRAT? Perhaps the Daleks had found their Predator, ie another Time Lord, a year earlier on the Alaska and crashed it on the planet on purpose. Also I rather got the idea that the nanocloud could strip away a person's humanity in very short order but the Doctor seemed to be more immune. Could Time Lord DNA have allowed Oswin to retain her emotions and humanity? Another thought - it would explain why the Doctor hears Oswin's voice and her music rather than Nick Brigg's Daleky voice, prior to meeting her face to face.

                            It's a thought in progress and I can see several problems with the idea, but I thought I'd toss it out there to see what people think.

                              I like this idea.....Good catch, and I like your thoughts below the quote.

                              You know every forum or page I visit seems everyone in the whole world has fallen in love with Oswin. Even I am caught in the snare and find her adorable.......

                              I want the Ponds gone now.

                                Ohhh New Who how you just lack the ability to mentally scar children like in the good old days.
                                i used to watch classic who reruns as a kid on local Tv it never scarred me...

                                This episode was very heartfelt as it was told from the POV of a girl who had not realized the Daleks had turned her into one of them.
