Now I am less fond of the demented pepper-pots than most people. I don't know why, possibly because they don't scare me, but I've never seen them as being *the* villain, and I'm certainly less fond of them than the producers of NuWho. I wonder if it's because, when Davros isn't about, there isn't one central focus point for the Doctor's interactions with the Daleks.

That being said, one of my favourite Who-related memories is spending an entire day arguing with A and N about which was the best Dalek episode. I was, of course, pulling for Genesis of the Daleks, which hits my narrative preferences because it's got a lot of world building and shades of grey (and I don't just mean the endless corridors). A was campaigning for Destiny of the Daleks, because he thought it was cool (hovering Daleks etc) and he really liked the Movellans. N's choice was Remembrance of the Daleks because of the general air of sinisterness and explosions and again, a certain tendency towards shades of grey.

There we were, three 15 year olds, spending out precious break time on a school day arguing about which of the three episodes was the best.

A wouldn't listen to reason, when we both pointed out that that wasn't how robots worked. And I refused to acknowledge that there were far too many long, lingering shots of grey corridors in Genesis and it was a bit slow-paced. I can't remember exactly what our objection was to Remembrance. Probably "why would the Daleks need to do the thing that did?"

So yes, if nothing else, I enjoy remembering talking about Daleks.
