WHAT????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I am in two completely different minds here.

On the one hand, I am PISSED at Russell. What the hell is he doing??? OK, so the Cybermen are back, that's partially acceptable, but THE DALEKS???

This man just won a Bafta! What the hell is he doing? Is he so desperate for ideas that he has to dredge up the old ones? You can't bring an enemy back three times, can you? They died! Twice! How're you supposed to pull it off a third time? And remember the series 1 finale? He's just following the same pattern...AGAIN! He doesn't seem to have put any thought into it, simply reused other people's ideas.

OK, so I'm angry about that part of it.

But on the other hand...wow! That episode was actually fantastic! And the Dalek entrance was great; wasn't expecting it at all. And it was well-written, too.

So all in all...well, as I said, in two minds. I think it's a bit of a dumb idea, but I have confidence in Russell (if I just push Love and Monsters and Boom Town out of my mind) that he CAN pull this off. After all, the man has written some truly fantastic episodes in the past, so he must be able to do something here.

Still...what is it with him? Boom Town, brought back an old enemy, Parting of the Ways ditto, Love and Monsters, got some kid to do it for him.

So yes. Pissed and pleased at the same time. Not sure how that works, but there you go. Pissed at the idea, pleased at the way he's presented it so far.

Gotta go. Will post when I have more time.

COMMENT!!!

...and Rosby is OUT.
