not bad ... not bad.
Definitely. Time paradoxes, or maybe I should say inconsistencies, always bother me a little and it's hard to ignore them while following the story, but eh. That's part of what you sign up for with this series.

Anyway, I quite liked the episode and I think I might like this new 2 part format. The first part makes you ask all sorts of questions that then get resolved in the second part.

I'm still a little unclear on what actually happened.
The Daleks on the surface were all hybridized and then eaten by the sewer Daleks? So are the "new" Daleks also hybrids? I hope they develop on this theme in the next episode and don't just leaving this hanging out there until something like the xmas special.

honestly, i just ignored that part. i'm just happy to see the doctor being the doctor, the sidekick being the sidekick, and a story that makes sense. that other thing is just an accessory to the main plot - the doctor finding davros.

There was a lot of clever writing. Missy was good again, and fortunately not too peckish. It's not cannibalism if they're a different species :D

Yes. This felt much more like the Doctor's show than some earlier "space dad" episodes.

it was all the daleks
that give the pissed daleks on the sewers the power to go up
but the problem is that daleks can fly
so why they stayed on the ground to be killed

pretty awesome how clara becomes a dalek again... when she was first introduced to the show, she was a dalek ("asylum of the daleks"). only this time, she's not making souffles with milk and eggs... eggs... eggs.... term.... eggs-term... eggs-terminate... exterminate.... EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

well we see in this episode that daleks may have feelings also
its the suit that prevent them form expressing themselves

we see that in tha episode the last dalek
when the dalek realize its alone and ask help yo kill itself
because he can not do it

also in dalek take Manhattan
when the dalek evolved from a pure moveles dalek to a new dalek with legs
it had also feelings

so how bad are the dalek in reality
and how their suit push them to be that super mean

even when they say i love you
they suit translate exterminate and shoots the weapon

Okay, that was pretty awesome. It was almost going to end with a last 5 minutes, everything gets solved, bad guy confession... but now it's an extra episode in the same yet different setting.
