DID IT SUCK? | Doctor Who [Evolving Daleks In Manhattan MEGA REVIEW] 

The reason he didn't suggest to send them back to their families is because of the question he asked Sec beforehand. He asked him if the memories of all the hybrids could be given back, but Sec told him no, making it basically like sending a dog's excavated head back to the families of someone who lost their dog.

"This is America, JUST GIVE HER A BLOODY GUN!" Harry-2019

4:13 no, he didn't "abandon" his family, his parents didn't have enough to feed themselves and so he HAD to go. It's quite simple, they had to feed the rest of the family and him being the oldest, he had to make his own way in the world.

it is dumb, but I like it. for some reason I like the characters, I love the creativity and I love the bit where the doctor loses his sonic and is helplessly trying to pull off the panels, it's a proper 10th doctor watchmojo top 10 moment. it's dumb but it's got a lot of charm... like love and monsters!

"Dalek Caan, more like Dalek Can't" shouldn't have made me laugh but here we are.

For a being who never seems to have sex, the Doctor sure puts his DNA into a lot of people.

Remember when the 12th doctor went on about the Hybrid, saying a half human half dalek hybrid could never happen? Even the BBC forgot about this episode

Ok you can say that it’s bad but how dare you be dissin “You put the Devil in me” that S L A P S

Dalek Sex. That's what I'm hearing. I can't not hear it.

The song called "You put the devil in me" is not that bad to be honest. It's just that in this episode it was performed ON STAGE by the actress and then it got abridged in post production

4:05 During the great depression, the eldest children would sometimes leave so the rest of the household could have enough supplies. It was particularly prevalent in situations where the costs of another mouth outweighed the gains of another pair of hands (like during the crop failures of the Dustbowl.) These "hobos" would usually hop on trains illegally and ride the rails to look for work (spoilers, they usually didn't)

I know it's incredibly stupid but I love it compared to literally any dalek story post series 4. Like they actually have an idea. something to say, a somewhat 3rd dimensional villian, but the presentation. Oof

With the bit with the Doctor screaming at the Daleks to kill him, it sort of makes sense in regards to when the last time he met them he'd lost Rose and it ties in when in Daleks in Manhattan he says "they survive they always survive while I loose everything". Think about it you've not only lost your planet and your people to these things but they resulted in you loosing the woman you love as well; of course he'd be dealing with some emotions during this whole ordeal and I feel at this point he's just bloody sick of them so offering up himself as a sacrifice makes some sense.

I love this two-parter. I love it. Always have, always will. And The Dalek Sec Hybrid's head's tentacle things were all motorized. All SIX of them. It's very impressive stuff. And the Doctor goes along with Sec's plan as he's really confused. He still sees him as a Dalek, but one who's not evil. They also took Sec with them because HE'S A DALEK SCIENTIST! If they left him underground with Dalek Caan, he'd quite possibly escape!

9:49 I can’t stop laughing at this screenshot Jesus Christ Just _NYOOOOM_

"Like a Lady" doesn't mean "Like a female", it means a noblewoman, a Lady of the peerage

i always thougt that the doctor never intended to go to the slums of new new york OR new york, the tardis sometimes doesnt go exactly where you want to go.

I always loved these episodes. Probably nostalgia 😂. I do think the prosthetics on the Pigmen and Human Dalek are really good, along with the music from Gold

I remember watching this episode as a kid, and with my name being "Laszlo", I thought that this episode somehow knew who I was. Gonna love being a stupid kid.

Always thought introducing a character by them breaking a loaf in two and calling them Soloman was a bit on the nose

11:37 Wouldn't they be unable to fit through the tiny manhole cover?

I thought that I was going to watch an analysis into the episode that delves into its pros, as well as its cons and not a TV sins video.

6:41 It clearly means Lady as in the title and not the lady we just call every woman these days. It's the same root as Ladylike.

I think you shat on the episode too much and some of the break downs didn't really make much sense. In particular the worrying dalek and the thing with the guy in the flap cap. I know it's a silly review and everything, but it felt a little mean spiritde like a grudge almost, rather then charming as with other vids.

You dont seem to understand how genuinely devastating the great depression was

Finally, a review of Daleks in Manhattan that isn't just "DALEK SEC LOOKS WEIRD LOL"

This is one of the episodes i remember most vividly as a kid, i remember all the scenes as well and the dialogue. Idk why, it was just so creative and engaging as a kid to see these kind of ideas, and it was quite dumbed down so easy to follow too.

I remember really enjoying the dynamics between Dalek Sec and the rest of the Cult of Skaro in this episode

I actually loved this story arc since it tried to put the villians in a desperate situation to the point that they would try new creative methods to survive. Its really sad that Dalek Sec got the short end of the stick since he began to become more symphathetic and was able to see the problems with the Dalek mindset. If only they had let him survive, he could've become a potential companion for the Doctor, who he considered his equal.

11:35 the Daleks couldnt get up the ladder because the man hole cover was obviously too small for a Dalek to fit through, even if they can fly.

"More like Dalek Khan't" - LMFAO

The thing about living in New York is you quickly realize 99% of "New York" scenes in movies and television are actually filmed in New York-like cities like Vancouver. Even quintessential films like Annie Hall have scenes where they're talking at the arch on 14th Street in Washington Square Park, turn the corner, and are suddenly 40 blocks north at Central Park. But who cares? So many movies are set here that the bad accents and sets from Daleks Take Manhattan really don't bother us. It's just for fun.

I remember actually wanting Dalek Sek's plan to work, with the new Dalek race moving to a new planet, thus rooting against Martha trying to figure out what the Daleks put on top of the building. Dalek Sek deserved much more! I too had this moment at the end of the episode of: ''so that's what the Face of Boe meant! A new Time Lord ra... oh, and they're dead.''

I actually really like this episode and the plot and characters I think it’s really creative lol

Didn’t realise how crazy this two parter was😅 Tbf I really like the talk The Doctor has with the Daleks towards the end

I kinda think that you're being needlessly harsh towards this episode. Yes it's got flaws, but there were many things that you twisted into something negative. 1. Frank didn't abandon his family in desperate times, he was strong enough and noble enough to realize that he was getting to be a burden on family resources, and left to fend for himself, so that the rest of his family might be able to live semi-comfortably. 2. Well, Solomon is shown to be a sort of clever man, so you can probably say that he realized that despite the doctor having an english accent, there's a bit more to him than that. 3. I mean, just because Tallulah is a lady, doesn't mean that people have treated her like one, she's definitely got that character that implies she's no stranger to being treated like dirt. And even if you disagree, you can't assume that she's not endured grotty little haters in her life. 4. In the episode, they mention that the human shells are completely empty, everything that they were has been irreversibly lost. So the doctor just made the best of a bad situation. Even if they can't restore the shells, he feels that sec's plan is the next best thing. i do think you did make some pretty good points, though. One that stands out to me was how they only brought pig slaves up to deal with the doctor, martha and "the pig and the showgirl." One of the Daleks could find another way up, and fly up to the doctor from ground level, and the doctor could have a climactic showdown on top of the empire state building with the dalek. The Dalek firing at him and the doctor taking cover behind various bits of scaffolding. In the end, the dalek is (somehow) defeated, with it's "elevate" malfunctioning, and it plummets from the top of the empire state building to it's explosive death down below. That would have been awesome to see. P.S. at 12:58, you've just inadvertantly proved that david tennant does a much better "do it" than Shia.

"Dalek speach" we can go up stairs but we are still working on the ladder modules. Pleace don't interfere.

I just realized your name was changed to "haunted house" and I love it, the video is 10/10 as allways

I actually liked this episode... A lot I guess I'm in the minority, but I found some parts quite compelling, although that might just be because I love Dalek Sec and found the finale to be quite an enjoyable ride. It is cheesy, it is silly, but I found it enjoyable in a way that I didnt find in episodes like love and monsters - There was an effort here to make a good episode, and though the scripring isn't great and the acting is only just passable, the concept of Sec reallising that he needs to evolve and the final showdown were really cool imo.

Americans are just as tired of seeing New York but it's always fun to see the Doctor in America for us

I love the editing to this video, lmao

one thing that really annoys me about these episodes is that they refer to the slum as "Hooverville" as if that's its name and theres no other hooverville which is stupid because in the depression era, ALL of the slums were called Hoovervilles, so they should really call it "THE Hooverville". it's such a little thing but I find it so annoying

Are we getting a Lazarus review? I actually really like that episode, always have

4:04 I didn't realize spider man was in doctor who.

I honestly expected you to completely despise this Dalek story and find nothing good about it considering the hate it gets, so your somewhat balance between honest criticism and praising what was interesting about my literal favourite two-parter left me pleasantly surprised. To me there are reasons for some of the weird stuff that goes on (though not all of it) and what always impressed me was just how much Loren’s performance got to me as Dalek Sec. He does a lot of subtle things such as the very gradual change in the way he speaks and the use of certain words even compared with the Doctor. He’s probably the smartest and definitely he most artistic Dalek there is, so seeing those emotions change him to the point where what the Doctor calls gene solution, he poetically calls “the life blood”, is really interesting. Apparently it was his choice to even do that voice as the hybrid, because he was originally told he could just use his normal voice and didn’t think that sounded right. Also in Frank’s defence, back in the day lots of older kids of families leave home to find work so that their family doesn’t have to feed them too, and often send money home if they can. Aaaaaaand the soundtrack music called Evolution of the Daleks has Hebrew lyrics that apparently mean “What is going on Sec” which was hilarious.

Thank you for including Shia for that "DO IT" scene, magnificent 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

i for one, quite enjoyed this episode of doctor who, personally i found interactions of the characters toi be quite epic, i would recommend this eopisode to my friends, who may have not seen the show before, thank you for your time

Unironically these are my two favourite episodes in all the show. Also poor Sec needs a hug

*Sniiffffsssss* UGGGGHHHHH thats the content I needed

Every time Dalek Sec's name was followed by an s-sound I had to resist the urge to laugh

Honestly, I kind of wonder if the series could ever try and touch upon the whole hybridization concept from these episodes again, and potentially do more with it. Like say, at some point other daleks eventually find the remnants of dalek Sec's experiment and try to use it with differing results and goals, depending on those daleks in question.

I did like this episode, but I didn't see it as that good. One thing I found was that the 1930s New York setting wasn't really important to the story, it was just a backdrop.

A neat concept with a hybrid dalek being controlled with human emotions to the point where dalek sec would pass off as a real human, if it wasn't for the silly looking head

Dont you mean. Did it *SUCC?*

can you PLEASE do a review of silence in the library/ Forrest of the dead??

I still really like this two parter. Dalek stories are great.

the reason the doctor didnt revive them and send them back is that dalek human told him their memories are wiped or something of that sort.

YES!! please keep these videos coming

I'm a bid disappointed Garfield didn't get turned into a hybrid. Then I could've made a Spider-Pig joke. Alas...

That Tallulah creature borders very closely on Bonnie bastard Langford when she did her impersonations of Shirley Temple in the 70's and you cannot get worse T.V than that (except other Bonnie bastard Langford shows!)

Its kinda freaky I decided to watch these two episodes earlier today then this just came out! XD

I honestly love these episodes

Have you done a did it suck for silence in the library/forest of the dead)

Don't you fuckin' dare be bad-mouthing 42

Maybe that's what Dalek Sec meant by sacrifices- they all got stung! I have no idea why I found that so funny.

Doctor Griffin in Who, just as funny as whittaker being a doctor in 'Trust Me'

tallulah also called the doctor a hot potato in a sharp suit

I didn’t realise that was Andrew Garfield, now I’ll never look at Spider-Man or this episode the same thing again

whenever i hear that dalek sec human theme i just hear 'IT'S A HOO-MAN DA-LEK!'

That RadioTimes cover always stuck with me after getting spoiled, I remember my friends and I always speculating on what episodes will be about and that ruined it for me that week :/

Haven't seen the video yet but I love these episodes

The bit when sec consumes that guy honestly fucked me up.

Excellent

Isn't the song this is a form of Darlek?

It's impressive how terrible Dalek Episodes are in modern dr who. We got one good one. The rest are all awful.

I can’t believe spiderman is in this two parter

I find it funny that, after leaving the British Empire, America would make the EMPIRE state building.

The doctor: "KILL ME! KILL ME! DO IT, JUST DO IT!" Darth sidious: "Do it. Kill him now"

Looking at the sewer hole, yeah the Daleks weren't getting through their. Why didn't they send the pigs? Good question.

i think there are a lot of interesting aspects of this episode that didnt fit well, if it were made today and they had budget to actually go to new york, and cast americans (only lazslo & duagorus are american) it could be better

16:06 im not mentally prepared for a bald Tennant

I honestly can't hate this episode (seeing as it was the first episode of Doctor who I ever watched).

The pig slaves don’t give chase to The Doctor. Kinda like in Zygon Inversion, where “Bonnie” attempts to shoot down the Dr, the Dr survives with parachutes and then NO Zygon gives chase and just let’s him get in a car??

12:16 I thought Frank died...

the fake fun thing happens a few times to foreshadow the gun in the finale the master thinks martha is making

human dalek used to terrify me, and lowkey, it still does

16:07 no, not the hair!

5:05 This edit made me laugh, I won’t lie

God I wish David Tennant would put his DNA in me.

Evolution of the Daley’s was the first episode of doctor who i ever watched. I dont think i knew anything about it before. But I only remember the scene on the top of the Empire State Building. Next time i watched doctor who was midnight and then the end of time two parter. I watched everything from then on.

That time Spider-Man got merc'd by Pig-Man 😂

Well that was harsh.

"Central Park" was more than likely Cardiff Park

Nearly 100 years later and buildings are more important than the homelessness look at Manchester Town Hall and the Homeless problem.

OOOOOOW get the other series 3 episode reviews it has been a whole month

I think the reason the Daleks didn't ascend with the main lot is because the GAP WAS TOO SMALL.

2:19 llandaf fields, cardiff, wales*

Ok that’s cool and all but what the hell happened to the gloves mr diagras was wearing

Without the pigmen, I think this story would’ve been epic! If they had been some form of squidmen, then it might have passed as early hybrid experiments. For me, I’m actually fine with everything except the pigmen. Doctor who acting has never been great, I learned many years ago to look past it. Tallulah is pretty awful but whatever, it’s not important. The rest of it is actually fine though.
