The TARDIS lands on a human colony on the planet Vulcan, where the Doctor is captured by a faction of Daleks who survived their destruction on Earth. The narrative focuses on the Doctor's struggle for survival and his attempts to thwart the Daleks' plans for galactic domination. Review (Based on Summary): Regeneration Follow-up: "The Power of the Daleks" directly follows the regeneration of the Doctor, allowing viewers to see the Second Doctor's personality emerge. This is significant for fans of Doctor Who history. Return of the Daleks: The serial marks the iconic Daleks' triumphant return after their apparent defeat in "The Tenth Planet." This reasserts them as a major threat to the universe. Doctor's Resourcefulness: The summary suggests the Doctor must use his intelligence and cunning to outwit the Daleks while being a prisoner. This highlights the Doctor's resourcefulness as a hero. Possible Weaknesses (Considering Limited Information): Classic Who's Pacing: Classic Doctor Who sometimes featured a slower narrative pace compared to modern iterations. Limited Companion Introduction: The summary doesn't detail much about the companions introduced in this serial, Polly and Jamie. Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope) "The Power of the Daleks" is a historically significant serial for fans of Doctor Who as it follows the regeneration and brings back the Daleks. The Doctor's struggle for survival adds an element of tension to the narrative. Would I Recommend Watching It? For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 7/10 (Likely worth watching especially if you enjoyed the First Doctor and want to see the Second Doctor's introduction and the Daleks' return) For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 5/10 (The historical significance and Daleks might hold some appeal, but the slower pace and limited information on companions could be drawbacks) Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide: If possible, try to find reviews of the entire serial for a more complete picture. Classic Doctor Who had a different style than the modern series. If you're new to classic Who, consider watching earlier stories featuring the Second Doctor to get a feel for the era's aesthetics and storytelling before diving into "The Power of the Daleks". I hope this helps! If you can find more information about the entire serial, I can provide a more comprehensive review. -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@nk.ca Ici doctor@nk.ca Yahweh, King & country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising!
