Is it just me, or has Mark Gatiss been channelling Dan O'Bannon?

Am I the only one who thought the ep was very thin on plot ?

It read like "oooh, Daleks and Churchill, what a great idea!" and then they realised they had no plot to go with it, so went with generic ideas instead.

Nope! I thought it stunk to high heaven and had nothing original in it!

Seconded.

I distinctly remember thinking "Hmm, if they just loaded the super-bomb into that thing that can teleport back onto the dalek ship, we'd never see the daleks ever again. And I'm OK with that".

Even if the rest of the episode had been good, the new power-ranger daleks by fisher price were terrible. And the rest of the episode wasn't good. The highlight of the dialogue was an in-joke about an insurance mascot. Even Russell T Davies could do better than that.

Oh well, the last two episodes were good, 2 out of 3 is not bad at all.

I suspect that the new Daleks were specifically designed so that the toys will be cheaper to manufacture. Do Not Want.
