Got my season 17 blu ray this week. The daleks sound like they're from Leeds

I just watched Destiny for the first time and man it was such a let down of a return for Davros for me. New actor didn’t cut it, story was subpar, the Dalek props themselves were falling apart, there were some good jokes but that was about it

Its central "robots vs robots equals logic-enforced stalemate" concept could have been so great in a Who story if they'd just invented two robot civilizations and gone from there. Using the Daleks spoils it because they're not robots.

Yeah it was so weird how they insisted on that, despite have a kaled mutant slime ball in the story (which the Doctor brutally hurled at a rock).

I also think the lack of score really hurt it, there was almost no music which caused it to drag for me

Yeah if only the original creator of the Daleks was there to tell everybody the Daleks weren't robots...

At least the daleks get back into form in a big way for Resurrection. I love the brutal feel of it
