Truth -- and sadly these last couple of episodes have really hammered that point home for me. More than ever, nuWho is about quirky character moments involving characters that, sadly, aren't really all that compelling. It's cheeky; it's snarky... and it's soulless nonsense. I cringed every time that Davros attempted to claim the moral high ground over the Doctor; this is the dude who created murdertanks with the express goal of exterminating every other sentient race in the universe. Davros asking, "Am I a good man?" even as he asserts that the Doctor embrace genocide so that he can feel the power of a god? Give me a break. The script offers a reason for the incoherence of this exchange -- that each party was trying to manipulate the other -- but a script that feels the need to explicitly handwave its own glaring weaknesses reveals itself for the disjointed garbage it is.
Thanks for the memories, guys. Glad y'all are still at it. I agree with all this as you can see but I think the reason I still watch is because of the awesome ideas that Moffat allows me to generate in my head even though he can't seem to carry his out to a satisfying conclusion. Even though these 2 episodes crapped out I was highly intrigued by the idea of killing the boy Davros or altering his future to where the Daleks won't exist and witnessing a brief glimpse into the new Universe whether it be a horror or paradise. And even as I write this I'm watching the Dead Zone and the Hitler question just came up. Wow eerie. |

- The scene of the Doc stealing Davros' chair made me laugh.
That was a funny scene and reminded me of Amagon zooming around the house😃 |
