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 – to enter the Asylum, a planetary prison confining the most terrifying and insane of the deadly aliens’ kind.



From the official site…

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

β€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.”

    It was good. But this annoyed me. The classics never spoke, when I heard the mention of Spiridon and Exilon I was excited, The Doctor turns the corner and of they are all NSD design. What a lie it didn’t contain every single type of dalek at all!!!! And this annoyed me the most The Special Weapon Dalek didn’t move at all!!

    She wasn’t playing the part of the new companion, she was playing the human-dalek ( sorry I forgot her characters name) It’s just the same actor playing a different part!

    I thought she was going to be a Dalek Human thing, I wasn’t expecting her to be a proper Dalek

    I think that they all might come back in the 50th or another episode. Moffat dosen’t want to use his new Telytubby team too much, so I think he’ll just use all the designs.

    I can imagine the Doctor and Clara talking in the Xmas special

    CLARA: What happened to your little friends? The Scottish one and Nina?

    DOCTOR: Don’t. Just don’t.

    CLARA: What?

    DOCTOR: I lost them. Just like everyone else. I knew it would happen. I sent them home. I came back for them, I knew I shouldn’t. But they were like family to me. I lost them. Just like I will with you.

    CLARA: I’m sorry?

    DOCTOR: Never mind. -walks off-

    no it might be britain,because leadworth and young amelia in the trailer plus the moff said something in the eleventh hour is to do with them leaving

  • dr who

    im sure trenzalore may answer it,it is the moff master plan to make everyone forget him and to think he is dead,because moff thinks he has been to big after the time war,and if he is forgotten his enemies ask questions,doctor who?which will lead to trenzalore and the fall of the 11th and the terrible events which shall happen

    if i did it the daleks would not be dusty the only one that stood out was special weapons and i think i saw a paradigm dalek

  • The 14th Doctor

    September 2nd, 2012 - 9:50am

    And he didn’t exactly say he hated them, what he said is that his faves are the original Daleks and that he isn’t a fan of the new ones, he thinks that they should have been much better.

    Now that I agree with πŸ™‚

    If it was me who wrote last nights episode, I would have made sure it was possible to feature every incarnation of the classic Daleks before writing the episode, if not then I would not have bothered.

    If I was to write a story featuring every incarnation of the Cybermen, I would do it, maybe in some sort of space museum, and show each one in glass tubes standing up, but not moving, like shop window dummies [NOT AUTON’S]and show each one in close up, and the Doctor then comes face to face with Cybermen from every era who suddenly show up in this space museum.
