[@tyetnic]

It's amazing how Davies handled the Daleks. Moffat made a room full of them feel like a walk in the park, but this episode made 4 Daleks feel more terrifying than millions of Cybermen.

[@gentarofourze]

Nostalgia is a wonderful drug, RTD's Daleks appeared and were always defeated by a very simple plot device, Moffats Daleks felt like a genuine threat.

[@HARSA-gn1mp]

gentarofourze yes rainbow coloured daleks is a threat,asylum of the daleks was a complete joke just like all of Moffat Dalek stories stop sucking Moffat off he’s a great writer but he makes terrible Dalek stories and by your idiotic logic classic who fans should take their nostalgia glasses of also as its older than series 1-4 complete and utter moron as your a MCCoy fan probably as your videos show stop being nostalgic as his era wasn’t that great 👍

[@gentarofourze]

@@HARSA-gn1mp I'm actually a fan of all eras, it just so happened when I uploaded some clips BBC blocked most of them so I took them down. Actualluy I think RTD and Moffat are both flawed in modern Who, RTD's plots mostly consisted of 40 minutes of build up and Doctor sonic's away the threat or a similar deus ex machina, and in last 3 episodes of each series is the main plot, Moffats episodes were mostly world building and on a grander scale that had their own flaws. But are you denying that nostalgia doesn't play a part? Most people in their 20's now talk about how Tennant is their Doctor and RTD's episodes are the best. Its because its what they grew up with. And actually I was too young to watch Classic Who when it was new but watched a few repeats on UK Gold in the late 90's, mostly Pertwee and Davison episodes. I am a Sci Fi fan in general so when Nu Who started I managed to rent a few Classic dvds's. And you know what? My favourite Doctor is the 2nd despite my mum not even being a teenager when his run was on. But lets say this, in series 1 the Daleks were wiped out by a supernatural being, series 2 by simple technology, series 4 by their own technology (which was just a few button presses) The Daleks are just overused in general and overpowered so they have to be defeated by silly methods. I will also say that RTD's Daleks just felt they had overpowered tech i.e guns and shields and were themselves not that scary. Moffats Daleks felt like actual predators. By the way I never said I didn't like the 4 Daleks angle in the show I was responding to Daleks in general.

[@HARSA-gn1mp]

gentarofourze Moffat daleks weren’t scary at all they were rainbow coloured power rangers asylum of the daleks was idiotic, into the Dalek was a copy of series 1 Dalek and the Capaldi 2 parter was mediocre you call them nostalgic yet you have nostalgic memories of classic who how much of an idiot are you.You claim you don’t like the RTD era daleks for actually being threatening yet praise the Moffat era daleks for being literal plastic toys which are not scary how much of a moron are you don’t you also mention they have overpowered tech yet daleks are arguably the strongest villains in doctor who you want them to be week and unthreatening or something making daleks strong make them fearful clearly your not a fan if you never remember the deus ex machina Dalek episodes from the classic series

[@gentarofourze]

@@HARSA-gn1mp I never said Moffats Daleks were nostalgic, and I never said the stories were good. But what I was getting at is that RTD's Daleks are powerful "just because" which means the writers have to create some silly way to defeat them, its like Superman in comics can be cosmic level one minute then be beaten by a low level character the next. By the way I never mentioned anything about their design by the way. And I have seen most of the surviving Classic Who episodes and all Nu Who. Moffats Daleks went back to being a conquering empire with a large powerbase which is more threatening To me what you are describe is being scary, if you see a Dalek you would be scared as you knew you were basically dead if you knew the Daleks were out there building more power you would feel more threatened.

[@JanAside]

Given how the Cybermen have invaded multiple times over the years people probably recognised them.

[@briang.2218]

OOOOOH this still gives me chills. That realization that it's not the Cybermen. And the way the music oh-so-sneakily transitions the Cybermen theme into the operatic epic chorus of the Daleks, and it all hits its crescendo when they actually come gliding down and start yelling that good ol' "exterminate" mantra. Epic. Plus I like the touch with the design of the Void Ship. At first we think, "Ooh, it's sleek and silvery. Doubtlessly it's Cybermen tech." Then the Daleks come out and you realize that it's modeled after the Dalek ball-things and you go "Oh my scheiße"

[@notnice-9623]

Personally I think they could have pulled it off better with the transition - they should have only played the Dalek theme when the Cult Of Skaro exited the Void Ship - it would have been a shock reveal otherwise.

This may be one of the best episodes ever, this and possibly stolen earth. this for how it starts out with the Cybermen coming to earth and then the sphere opens to reveal the worst possible scenario, two of the most dangerous villains in doctor who at the same time, although it also shows the difference in power between Daleks and Cybermen. With stolen earth, it's when the unknown fleets have a message for the human race and the mic turns on and all you hear is "Exterminate, Exterminate, Exterminate" over and over, everyone knows that the Doctor has no way to find them, and the fear you see in every human who knows what they're up against.

Sure they used advanced technology, but the Daleks strike fear into all species across the universe, fighting until a stalemate with even the Timelords. The Cybermen wouldn't stand a chance. It was certainly built up in the publicity for this episode asking 'Who would win? The Daleks or the Cybermen?' The actual Cybermen from Mondas may have been able to deal a heavy blow against the Daleks, but not the ones made in a parallel Earth 21st century factory.

"But I don't understand-- the Cybermen don't have the technology to create a void ship, that's *way* beyond you! How did you create that sphere?!" You're exactly right, Doctor...the Cybermen *don't* have the technology to create that sphere. But think for a moment who *does*, and it makes perfect sense; though to be fair, the Doctor couldn't have known that the psycho pepperpots were going to be the ones to come out of the sphere; and if you look at his face when the Daleks first show themselves as the inhabitants of the sphere, his expression is, if anything, resigned; 'Yeah, I didn't know it was *you* in there, but now that I DO know, I'm *hardly* surprised.' Though I always did wonder, how did the Daleks, even ones specialized as the Cult of Skaro, manage to create a void ship, when even the Time Lords couldn't? Or at least, I'm guessing they couldn't, since the Doctor mentions earlier that he thought that void ships were only a theory, that he never had heard of one actually being built before-- but then again, when the Genesis Ark is revealed later in the episode and the Doctor says he's never seen it, despite Dalek Sec specifically declaring it to be Time Lord technology the Cult stole, he says that "Both sides had secrets."

[@jakerockznoodles]

The notion that the Timelords wouldn't be able to do that seems bizarre considering Rise of the Cybermen was not even the first time the Tardis has accidently drifted into another universe. If the Timelords already have technology that could essentially do what this does by accident, I'm sure they'd be capable of actually building one. I'm not even go into the ridiculous leap in time travel technology the daleks seem to have undergone here. In earlier stories the daleks had time travel tech, but it was comparatively primitive to what the Timelords used. Hell, it's been implied that the Sontarans have had similar or even better time travel capability but they weren't allowed to enter the time war because.... there was a height restriction? I dunno.

[@DorianMichaelsIII]

jakerockznoodles Maybe the Daleks managed to capture (or flat-out steal) and reverse-engineer Time Lord technology? The Cult did it with that Genesis Ark-- maybe the other Daleks did too with Time Lord time travel technology (try saying THAT five times fast). It sounds like something they would do (maybe even it was the Cult that suggested it in the first place). Maybe THAT was why, by the Time War, the Daleks had technology comparable to the Time Lords (they probably would HAVE to be at least SOMEWHAT comparable, for them to give the Time Lords the fight that it is heavily implied that they did; else, why didn't the Time Lords just do something screwy with time and make sure that *Davros* never existed, let alone the Daleks he would create? It's been said that the Lords' power over time was so great, that they could erase whole *planets*, whole CIVILIZATIONS, from ever have existing-- surely one being wouldn't present the same challenge.) But then again, this is just my theory, and I admit, my knowledge of Who-lore isn't as strong as it could be, so I welcome any thoughts and/or corrections.

[@zj0ker208]

DorianMichaelsIII They tried it. They sent the Fourth Doctor to stop Davros from creating the Daleks. However, he made a different call, and decided that he didn't have the right to commit genocide.

[@zj0ker208]

DorianMichaelsIII Well, as it turns out, he made the same choice, only that time it was a group decision.

[@bridgeanimatorx6550]

Hahaha XD I don’t know why I found your comment funny, i think it’s because you always highlight a few words to bring out a few hints XD

[@pmalone4]

2:14 "Screw you guys! I wanna live!"

[@blueraccoon1088]

Iron giant?

[@nejdalej]

It's only just now I noticed that in a few of the shots close up to the Cyber Leader, you can see the guy's eyes. I know it could be a goof but for me it adds more chills a la Mondasian Cybermen that are far more human than robot x

[@gremlinwc8996]

Any timestamps? Not saying that as like questioning or anything I just haven't noticed yet and want to see that

[@jsslayer7980]

Love the fact that people Aren't scared of paranormal but then as soon as they become robots Everyone is terrified

[@manofmercy1500]

Mainly cause they've gotten used to seeing the "ghosts" (they've been popping up for a few months before the Doctor first found out about them) by this point. Jackie does mention earlier in the ep that when the "ghosts" first started appearing everyone was scared of them initially, but when they end up doing nothing, disappear & reappear later, everyone just assumed that the "ghosts" were friendly or even the souls of deceased loved ones. Didn't help that it was also the main cover story used by Torchwood to hide their usage of the Void Breach caused by "The Sphere" (if only they knew what the ghosts actually were or what was actually inside the sphere).

[@Tokmurok]

@@manofmercy1500 yeah exactly.

[@oscarpersaud7650]

Cyber man: pushes open door Also cyber man: hands by its side

[@dragonzilla6482]

I was 14 when I first saw this episode and I remember screaming DALEKS! And getting super excited. I’m 31 now and it still gives me goosebumps to this very day.

[@jamalgordon8883]

It came out since 2006 and it was filming in early 2006

[@TripleR250]

2:15 John Connor you must be terminated 😎😂

[@deanlawson3610]

The week following this episode was the very longest of my life.

[@christhecollector9354]

Please make episodes like this again BBC!

[@MegaManDBZX]

This was the ultimate “we are so boned” moment. I mean an army of Cybermen is one thing. But then the Daleks coming out of nowhere. It’s like going to a party where everyone hates you. Which now that I say that, describes every social event I’ve ever been to. But still.

[@randypandy13]

No matter how many times I watch this, I always get chills down my spine.

[@bransolo9469]

It's cool that Murray Gold merged the cybermen theme with the dalek theme. Funny at first watch, no one noticed the soundtrack is giving the answer. When does that particular soundtrack plays in doctor who? Only when a Dalek threat is happening.

[@user-oj7ss4up1t]

Location Earth, Lifeforms Detected EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE!! Love that line! I miss Russel T Davies

[@cannonfodderlord]

The part about the sound of Cybermen marching: satisfying.

[@Devil_Punch]

this my no.1 cliffhanger, things just got worst and worst. Find out there were cybermen in torchwood, found out the ghost were cybermen and position around the world, they didn't make the void ship and to top it all off, daleks came to the party..... BEST CLIFFHANGER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DalekTheSupreme]

I still prefer the cliffhanger in The Pandorica Opens when Doctor's companions are dying, his greatest enemies have allied against him, the TARDIS explodes, and the universe ends, with nothing he can do about it, but Daleks...and Cybermen. I was just nine at the time, but I was overjoyed, and immediately thought back to The Five Doctors, when the Daleks and Cybermen had both appeared, but never met, and made me enthusiastic to see the ultimate showdown the following week.

[@Devil_Punch]

DalekTheSupreme I agree

[@iHuzza]

DalekTheSupreme but then the following episode wasn't the best...

[@Devil_Punch]

true that

[@liamjmw]

03:36 when the Dalek theme hits I get goosebumps every single time

[@TayoEXE]

Still the best walking sounds for the Cybermen.

[@regidio5083]

Took them a few decades but I am glad Cybermen and Daleks collided in my lifetime!

[@osmo2384]

The only cliffhanger that has lived up to this since is the World Enough and Time cliffhanger.

[@ArcDragoon]

You know? It only now dawned on me that when this episode started, and everyone was treating the Ghosts as lost family members, maybe they were from another life? Like, these Cybermen are from an alternate universe, maybe they showed up around where their homes would've originally been in their original universe. They felt familiar because they are.

[@charliehinde1701]

Still by far the best moment in Dr Who HISTORY!!!

[@matthewpotter1365]

This era of doctor who loved making the enemies do a sort of “Blitzkrieg” invasion. Just so fast and instant. Same with the daleks in The Stolen Earth. The music just makes everything pop off beautifully, these cybermen were genuinely scary. And then you add the daleks into it AS WELL

[@laglordgaming]

1:18 Hang on... Did Jackie just say 'Zybermen'?

[@FoamHordikaGrapes]

xD Yes.

[@cybergamer496]

YEA

[@josefzalusky7307]

Zybermen, Slickeen, you know, it’s the copyright-free version she can tell people later.

[@connor5070]

I have to wonder why the daleks always sound so alarmed. It's like... terrifying force of destruction, numbering in the billions... but every time the say 'EXTERMINATE!!!!!!' they sound more scared/surprised about the thing they're looking at. Their tone would be better suited to saying 'Dear god, what am I looking at?!'

[@xjosna4485]

This my absolute favorite scene in the whole series. ITS. JUST. SO. EPIC!!!

[@ethribin4188]

Millions of cybermen vs 4 dalek vs 1 doctor. I think thats about even odds.

[@physicsimpossible73]

This was one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes ever!!

[@010timeboy27]

This cliffhanger had the whole UK in a chokehold back in 2006

[@Whoami691]

*Dalek theme plays* "LOCATION. EARTH! LIFE FORMS DETECTED! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! EX-TER-MIN-AAAAAAAAAAATE!!" You can hear the fear in Roses voice, she knows them, she knows what they are and she is right to be afraid. The deadliest enemy in the universe. Brutal geniuses with the technology to defeat even the mighty Time Lords hell bent on conquest and systematic elimination of everything that is not a Dalek. Amazing.

[@swiftbird4846]

The reveal that both the Daleks and the Cybermen are in play is fantastic! What a moment!

[@SuperJames284]

This was the peak of dr who
