Doctor Who season eight

[Esquilax]

Or how apparently Dalek suits have no scanners to detect things like little cracks in the hull that let in radiation. Or why the Dalek fleet would bother trying to rescue one Dalek when every other portrayal in the revived series has had them executing any Dalek that didn't live up to their ideals.

Actually, Rusty begins an assault against the crew of the Aristotle and then calls the fleet to come and help exterminate the rebels (the dalek fleet has been searching for the Aristotle, after all).

Yeah, you're right. I was thinking of the original script, where the Daleks' motivation was finding their "comrade Dalek." Really glad they changed that, actually.

However the dalek calling the doctor a "good dalek" is completely out of place.

It's pretty rich of the space-nazis to be judging the Doctor. It's happened twice now, once in "Dalek," too.

Remember the "new paradigm" daleks and how ridiculous they looked? They also spoke with a stupidly deep voice. Now they've gone back to exactly the same look as they had before the new-paradigm daleks, look AND voice (although presumably they're still "pure" daleks, free from Davros's cells)!

The paradigm models are still out there, you can see them in the Dalek Parliament (*snort*) in "Asylum," well after their ridiculous first episode. I just sort of assumed they didn't really care about the look of the suits and were using what they had. Daleks never really struck me as aesthetically minded, despite the repeated elements in their designs.
