I have always adored the story here. What would happen to the Daleks if they couldn't fire their weapons? The story still works. HOWEVER it is all undercut by simply THE WORST pic.twitter.com/izw9A0tZAC

INCIDENTAL MUSIC in the show's history. It's so godawful, it makes so many good scenes seem hideously awful. I really wish they'd redo the music. No Daleks till last second. pic.twitter.com/BkPDCJrxpu

I love the Doctor berating a Dalek when he realizes they can't kill him. Although it does raise the point if the Tardis, the crew, & the Dalek ship are all downed because of no pic.twitter.com/qnXjhIcOKI

power, shouldn't the Daleks have been shut down as well? Not a ton for SJS to do this ep, mostly unconscious or in prison. The Exxilon "chanting" sounds like Delgado's voice.? pic.twitter.com/n9h33DeLER

This ep contains two Dalek destructions that are presented comically. Even the Doctor takes the Mickey out of the Dalek in one of them. It's almost like this story had a really pic.twitter.com/31JtydIZAi

good core idea, but the rest is executed poorly. Even with all that, I still love the story. The Doctor & Bellal explore the city we saw in Ep1 trying to stay ahead of Daleks. pic.twitter.com/oJpmESO3ER

This third tweet is just to note that I've been doing this Marathon thing for a year now. Unearthly Child Episode 1 was done on 18 Aug 2021. I'm 42% complete at this point. pic.twitter.com/hxtOB0wyJR

I always remembered the intelligence tests being more advanced than they seem now. The Doctor eventually passes them all and sabotages the city, allowing everyone to escape. pic.twitter.com/UUdHI7fvWn

My feelings towards this story haven't changed. Loved the core concept, but so much of this is executed poorly - especially the music. I would love them to remake this story. pic.twitter.com/MwgXFcdEJ8
