What made it so confusing? I thought it was pretty open for any and all newbies.



This is the one episode I didn't watch until after the season ended and the only reason I understood it better was because I had seen later episodes and everyone here explaining the whole Dalek thing to me. Not explaining the Daleks better was my biggest problem with season one.



Hmmm...I guess I can kind of see that. I imagine going into it with pre-knowledge of them sort of filled in the gaps, and I didn't notice there being anything confusing. Still, it was merely set up to be: Unstoppable bad guy Doctor has met before. They set it up like that, and didn't download a lot of info, because they didn't want to confuse newbies. Heh. Interesting how TPTB in media never quite pick up on the above-average intelligence of their viewers...



I think the concept of the Dalek was just a little foreign to begin with. Which is odd now that I think about it, because they are kind of like the Borg? Just fueled with a desire to kill living things, right? And both are kind of hypocritical for being organic beings themselves masquarading as robots. But I suppose the Borg are into the whole 'join us' thing and the Darleks are just like 'die motherfuckers'.

Maybe that's not a good example...

And assuming I'm not totally wiped out tonight (almost went to the ER at four this morning) I'll watch the next disc.
