Favourite Dalek Stories?

[palitoy]

That really doesn't bug me but I guess if you wanted to you could say that seeing that Davros "died" during their first meeting, Sarah most likely assumes Rose wouldn't know who that was.

But I'm not a fan of Davros either....

I'm not a huge fan of Davro's either but I do think he served a purpose in the Doctor Who series.

If it wasn't for Davros, I don't think the Daleks AS AN INTERESTING NASTY would have survived past the Baker years.

They were just too predicable stiff, and that made them get boring after a time.

With Davros,
It gave the Doctor somebody to argue with.

He was a Dalek, but he wasn't.

I think he definetely helped the Daleks survive to today.

The problem now is,

The Daleks seem to be almost in the same boat as they were during Pertwee years...
Meaning, watching them is getting tedious again.

Genesis of the Daleks-the best use of Davros

The Daleks-very effective if a bit long

The Dalek Invasion Of Earth

Day of the Daleks-I remember this one vividly from childhood also. Not
great for the Daleks themselves but I alwyas liked the
way it dealt with time travel.

Yeah, Day only has three Daleks in it and tons of padding to make it like there are more as I recall.

I'm also agreed that Genesis is the best use of Davros, he's probably the most threatening there. I like that the new series acknowledges him but hasn't had him show up, maybe he was killed in the Timewar?

I was kind of let down with "Day"

The story itself was ok, but at the end when the Daleks finally come to Earth, you can easily see there was only three of them...

But the weird thing is ......
Today, they made each Dalek so STRONG, 3 of them is a real menace.
