@@emperordalek102 Hello there

[@finnhobart9100]

I like the concepts explored by this little episode, regarding the Daleks in particular. They're often portrayed as mindless killing machines and lately have only been shown as merely instruments of death, which is one of their functions, but only a part of it. I like how they actually incorporated a Dalek Strategist to show the more cunning side of the hatred that the Daleks represent. It offers a more sophisticated and conniving side to hate, the actual tact and thought that sometimes goes into the calculations and machinations of evil that so often characterizes that sort of malevolence. It is too often forgotten that ruthlessness is not always unfettered destruction, it is also calculated, unfeeling moves made to both incur suffering and maintain the upper hand, which is what can maximize the effect of ruthless regimes like the Daleks, so I like that they incorporated the strategist. I also love the fact that the strategist was an older Dalek, implying that the species does undergo development and experience as it's members age, showing that the Daleks actually are beings, and also expressing the idea that the Dalek race does not exist in "stages" of transitioning from one model to another, and that they do experience "evolution" and have a mingling of generations, so to speak. I also like how there was a degree of personality to each Dalek in the episode, with the Strategist being more subtle and intelligent while the executioner was brash and paranoid. This reveals that there can be some distinctiveness to the Dalek personality and that their true evil can take a wider swath of the spectrum, which really opens up more possibilities for the sorts of altercations we can have with them in the future. Lastly I was a big fan of how the 3 main Daleks of the episode, The Emperor, The Executioner, and The Strategist, each had their own slightly distinctive and independent voices. The Emperor was authoritative and grand sounding, reflecting his eminence and power as Emperor, the Executioner was jumpy and had ferocity, displaying his role as the killer and destroyer (ie an Executioner), and the Strategist was covert and low-voiced, representing his position as the thinker and tactician of the group. Overall I got a lot of good signs about the development of the Daleks, my favorite aliens and possibly favorite part overall of Doctor Who.

[@nellie204]

Someone wrote an essay

[@DoctorWhoKage]

The Daleks have been shown to have a bit of character, development, and personality before. For instance, remember the Dalek Asylum? Yeah, if they have an Asylum, that means that there are Daleks who are more insane than normal Daleks and that the Daleks have a concept of insanity that's more or less different than our own.

“Do you wish to apply for a membership card?” 😂 love it!!!!

[@peterkean5907]

That was far more entertaining than the last two series on the BBC.

[@Alpha-oo8]

That was really good! I mean, the toxic portion of the fan base is going to complain about the animation quality, which, you know, clearly isn’t Pixar, but when the storytelling is good, who cares? Good job guys and gals. Ignore the daleks in the comments and keep up the good work!

[@beckmcclannahan9048]

I care, because this is inexcusable. With *free software* you would struggle to make something that looks this bad. It looks like this was animated in unity

[@Alpha-oo8]

@@beckmcclannahan9048 oh? Well, you’re welcome to use said free software to prove that point on a low budget and probably extremely limited time frame, like most who animations are.

Much better than I expected! Can't wait for the next part.

Could really go for a series 2 right now.

[@louw185]

Oooooh this is brilliant, I love all the individual Daleks and their designs (Emperor, Strategist, and ESPECIALLY the Executioner - seriously, that red eyestalk and massive claw are so. damn. cool!!!!) cant wait to see where it all goes from here

[@IDidntSetAHandle]

How do you make a joke about the Dalek Emperor's head? Tee it up.

[@NASALunarLight]

I really want Daleks to fight Saiyans. They aren’t the same universe but I wonder how it will go down. (Doctor Who vs Dragon Ball Z)

[@henryg4377]

The Saiyans would win.

[@doctorwhofanatic1821]

Also, I like how it shows that the Daleks are pure gold. Nice touch

[@nosound5903]

Unpopular opinion : I freaking love this style of animation. Keep it up guys ❤❤❤

[@edwardreed67]

Pretty good overall. The animation in places was a bit rough, though the voices and sound effects were pretty well done. The emperor was cool and the strategist was class.

[@DoctorWhoVelocity]

WOW! Looks like they used the same game engine render style as our own DALEK fan film! :) Haha! Nice work BBC - good to see some new Doctor Who stuff in lockdown! HOPE EVERYONE IS SAFE AND WELL! Lots of love -The Doctor Who Velocity Cast and Crew xxx

[@mylowpolygon6290]

if you mean eevee, i don't think so. There doesn't seem to be any screen space reflections. I would say its element 3d or Godot

[@DoctorWhoVelocity]

​@@mylowpolygon6290 Yes we meant it was it was in the same game engine render style as our own Dalek episodes. I wasn't saying I knew what software it was made in, just that the style is very similar! Quite a departure for a main stream media release!

[@mylowpolygon6290]

@@DoctorWhoVelocity ah true. Its definitely a rendered in a raster engine of sort.

[@DoctorWhoVelocity]

@@mylowpolygon6290 I've tweeted a few people who were involved in the making of, to find out what it's made in! :) Will let u know if we find out any info! :)

[@DoctorWhoVelocity]

@@mylowpolygon6290 I found out some insider info! The models are made in 3DS Max, Maya and Substance, and then the animation and rendering is done in Unity - so it IS a real time game engine :)
