The Doctor and Martha land in New York, 1930, only to discover people are vanishing, and an old foe is lurking high in one of the towers, The Cult of Skaro.
The Plot is extremely thin, but the Director and the cast do their best to make the most of it.
Even the appearance of the Dalek in the lift is mehhh, they've lost some impact, even if they do look perfect right in the setting somehow. Dalek Sec is still the best designed Dalek of nu who, the black effect works well, so much better then the later red supreme Dalek.
We've heard the Doctor talk about the loss of his home planet due to the Time War, it's nice to hear it from the Dalek's side.
It has to be said this is one of the most gorgeous looking episodes of Doctor Who there has ever been, it boasts some insanely good production values, even the sewers look good.
Some great actors on show, but it suffers from being 'The Dalek Story,' The Daleks have been drastically over-used, with this 2 parter and Victory being the 2 biggest mishaps.
Miranda Raison's ditzy blonde show girl Tallulah is one of the high points, she's so much fun, even if her accent is appallingly bad. High point of the episode is Tallulah's on stage act, 'Heaven and Hell' it's just brilliant, as is her meeting Laszlo after he's been changed.
Dalek Sec's experiment with Diagoras is brilliantly done, and a very disturbing scene, very scary for the younger ones. The Human Dalek is well designed.
Overall it's OK, it's just missing something, and I'm afraid i'm not eloquent enough to put into words exactly what, it's just unsatisfying. 6/10
