YMMV / Doctor Who S29 E5 "Evolution of the Daleks"

Go To

  • Foe Yay Shipping: Usually the Doctor would never have any of this with the Daleks, but one has to wonder if it's any coincidence that in the episode where he's perhaps the most sympathetic with the Daleks that there's a bit where he looks into a Dalek's eyestalk and softly states that one can fall in love with music.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Dalek Sec again. See that page for details.
  • Narm:
    • Any emotion from the Doctor fully giving himself up to be exterminated is killed by the Dalek inexplicably making a big speech about how cool it'll make him. Sec stopping it at the last second makes it even more ridiculous, giving the impression that if it had spent an instant less bragging in a completely un-Dalek way everything would be over.
    • Poor Ryan Carnes (Laszlo) tries his hardest, but there's just no taking a guy in ridiculous pig prosthetics seriously.
  • Squick: It's bad enough that Sec has a bunch of what look like penises sticking out of his head, but did they have to constantly be moving?
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Any potential that the part-Human Sec had gets thrown away at around the halfway point, as the other Daleks pull a Hijacked by Ganon, the story turns into a more standard-issue Dalek action piece, and Sec doesn't appear again until the climax, where he's unceremoniously killed off.
