Daleks so soon? They're normally held until the end of the season, aren't they? Apparently not. Despite the Doctor 'always' beating the Daleks, they're back again, and revamped in new flavours for maximum merchandising. Not that I'm cynical about these things, you understand.
Anyway, the episode itself was rather good. The Daleks had a purpose and were used in a few unusual ways, there were Spitfires in space and yet more hints that not all is right with Amy. Amy didn't recognise the Daleks, which she should have. Something is clearly amiss.
I'm still finding this to be the best Dr Who in recent years. The build to whatever the big reveal is is clearly signposted, and the characters are engaging. Amy has now saved the day in every episode as well, which is a departure. Amy is not a normal companion.
Thinking of Amy, she seemed to react to the name of the woman that the robot professor mentioned. Her Grandmother, perhaps? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Amy is the crack in time, which is why we see the crack everywhere she's been. She's inadvertently changing history as she travels with the Doctor.
The Daleks are clearly set to return as well. I'm hoping that they'll held off until next season, to be honest. It'd be nice to get something non-Dalek for the finale, and it'd give a nice build for the second season. I fully expect to see them again this season though.
Musing aside, next weeks episode features the Weeping Angels and River Song. No signs of overt British-ness in the trailer, so that may blow that out of the water. It should be a very good episode though.
Incidentally, the Matt Smith Doctor will be showing up in The Sarah Jane Adventures, giving Russel T Davies a shot at writing him. What are the odds on the episode having a power of love ending?
