I've enjoyed the show from day one, all those years back. Overall there have been more good episodes than bad and more good cast choices than bad. For a show that's almost 50 years old it's not a bad average.
I've enjoyed almost everything about the comeback series (not a reboot, btw), including RTD's stories, for the most part. This particular episode, though, I thought was a real let down. The huge continuity error with Rory and the dormant Dalek shows a general lack of care and attention, which IMO was also present in the writing.
@ thefixer - I never thought of that, mate. I apologize if I have given the game away but I hope I haven't.
@ khai - I agree with you about McCoy. There was something basically sinister about him, reminiscent of Hartnell.
I will say this about the episode... As a Dalek fan, I thought the Daleks themselves looked superb. I guess I'm going to have to make some battered ones now.
And as for Karen Gillan...drool :)
