We really really need to see the cheat sheet …
It’s funny, I’m a Dalek fan, and yet I agreed with Kat’s picks the most. My Top 4, in general, would be Day of, Genesis, Remembrance, and Dalek. The first was my first Dr. Who story ever, Genesis is just the best. As a POC, the whole anti-racist subplot in Remembrance was meaningful for me, and I loved the Dalek floating up the stairs, Ace’s wrecking things with her bat, and the 7th Doctor’s talk with the guy in the cafe! Not just a retread! I liked a few NewWho Dalek stories, but I went with Dalek for bringing them back as a real threat.
Suggested game/exercise: “Retitling the Daleks”. Discuss each Dalek story from the POV of trying to give it more appropriate, descriptive, or memorable title.
You might wanna wait a year or two, though, before dipping back into The Overabundance Of The Daleks again… =;o}
Darnit, that should say “Retitling OF the Daleks”. Of course.
