What did you Think of Asylum of The Daleks?

What did you Think of Asylum of The Daleks

The first episode of series 7a has finally aired so what did you think?, was it the best episode ever or just average. Vote below.

Matt Smith returns as the oldest time-traveller in the universe. The Time Lord, Amy and Rory are kidnapped by their oldest foe the Daleks and forced on a seemingly impossible mission โ€“ to enter the Asylum, a planetary prison confining the most terrifying and insane of the deadly aliensโ€™ kind.



From the official site…

Steven Moffat, Head Writer and Executive Producer, thanked fans and the press for keeping the secret:

โ€œI hope you all got a nice surprise when Jenna popped up in Doctor Who several months early. If so, that surprise came to you courtesy of the frankly magnificent ladies and gentlemen of the press, and of the many Doctor Who forums and blogs too. This show has been seen at four separate screenings, across four different countries and yet not one person gave one spoiler. From all of us on Doctor Who, a heartfelt thank you for helping us tell our story.โ€

    i enjoyed it but i wanted to see more classic daleks im sure theres a reason for the memory wipe the daleks will think they are the supreme beings and undefeatable so they will not fear anyone beating them and have to become stronger so the dr can defeat them easily

    How were the Daleks scary this time around???

    There was hardly any Dalek action and they certainly didnt appear scary.

    Feel a bit conned concerning every single Dalek appearing too, all lies and just an excuse for some publicity.

    Meh, episode was alright. Liked the bit with Jenna-Louise Coleman, I thought that was interesting. I’m not sure that I like what they’ve done to Amy – she seems quite hostile and aggressive. Understandable, of course, after what she went through at Demon’s Run, but it just doesn’t seem like feisty-but-still-nice Amelia Pond from Series 6.

    Just watched it again! I enjoyed it more than I did yesterday, but that’s not to say I didn’t like it yesterday. It’s just one of those stories that I enjoy more and more every time.

    Also spotted a couple more Classic Daleks this time. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I wondered why Oswin said Spiridon, Kembel, Exxilon and loads of Classic Series Daleks stories and then they were Time War Daleks. Doesn’t make sense.

    I really liked J-Lou matparks08! I thought she was really sweet, but her ending was… not nice.

    Also the Teletubby Daleks weren’t a darker coulour AND they didn’t have a fleshy eyeball.

    That was a fantastic episode by my standard and was amazing written,and im sure it has scared some younger children which is good
    Now the lack of classic Daleks was a bit of let down but still those mad daleks and the props were amazing the end was a massive bombshell 1 being oswins story which im sure will evole and will all amke total sense soon and 2nd being the daleks forgetting the Doctor now some people may frown upon this and that is understandable from some points of view but now they can build on to better stories for the Daleks and can bring them in more of a sinister way as performed tonight im also sure there is a Dalek that still remembers him so be prepared for the best ๐Ÿ™‚

    I agree with Anonymous. It fairness thou Whovian, we can be satisfied, it’s just that we don’t like things mucked around when it comes to continuity and such.

    Takes yesterdays cock up. Oswin said the Daleks in the cages came from Spiridon, Kembel etc, but they are Time War Daleks, only classic Daleks featured in the stories the planets got mentioned.
