Rating All The Dalek Stories By How Much The Titles Have To Do With The Actual Content
"The Daleks" 10/10 Yep that's them.
"The Dalek Invasion of Earth" 8/10 Just a little marked down because the story isn't about the Invasion per se. That already happened. "The Dalek Occupation of Earth" would be more precise.
"The Chase" 9/10 It is about that but that is also a game show.
"The Daleks' Master Plan" 7/10 They're doing a bunch of stuff in this. The title implies only one plan. Need more clarification.
"Power of the Daleks" 10/10 great double meaning
"The Evil of the Daleks" 7/10 not wrong but also any Dalek story could be called this.
"Day of the Daleks" 5/10 There are at least two different days in play in this story.
"Planet of the Daleks" 3/10 That would be Skaro actually, whereas this takes place on Spiridon
"Death to the Daleks" 6/10 I like the imperative voice here but the story fails to deliver on this intention.
"Genesis of the Daleks" 10/10 That is exactly what happens.
"Destiny of the Daleks" 2/10 bears very little relation to anything going on here. Fundamentally a backward-looking story, and these sleepy ramshackle Daleks don't seem destined for much of anything, frankly.
"Resurrection of the Daleks" 2/10 Really misses the mark. There is a resurrection in this story but it's pretty unambiguously not of the Daleks. "Resurrection of Davros" would be a more accurate title. Or even better "The Resurrection of Davros by the Coward Eric Saward"
"Revelation of the Daleks" 2/10 Once again the verb in the title is fulfilled by Davros, not the Daleks! Sure hope someone got fired for that blunder!
"Remembrance of the Daleks" 4/10 Not much better I'm afraid. It is a nostalgic story so Remembrance is at least vaguely relevant, but it's not really the Daleks either being remembered or doing the remembering.
"Dalek" 10/10. Clean, simple, right on the money. That's a Dalek alright.
"Bad Wolf". 3/10 And we whiff it again. While the phrase "Bad Wolf" is indeed central to the cliffhanger reveal, it's not related to the Daleks, or to anything at all. It's a self-fulfilling tautology. The actual words are irrelevant. Could have been anything.
"The Parting of the Ways" 9/10 now this is more like it. Not only are there multiple partings of ways between multiple characters, every atom in every Dalek parts ways from every other! That's so much parting!
"Doomsday" 6/10 Again points off for vagueness. This could be about anything.
"Daleks in Manhattan" 10/10 There they are!
"Evolution of the Daleks" 8/10 doesn't succeed but that is what they're going for
"The Stolen Earth" 9/10 Yep that happens!
"Journey's End" 4/10 Come on. Literally the only person whose "Journey" Ends is Donna and that of course gets reversed. Vague and inaccurate.
"Victory of the Daleks" 5/10 sure they achieve their stayed goal in this one episode but thats pretty well undermined by the fact that nobody likes these Daleks and they get retconned out of existence within a couple years
"Asylum of the Daleks" 9/10 Straightforward. Only knocking a point off because there doesn't seem to be much mental health care going on here
"Into the Dalek" 10/10 that is what happens!
The Magician's Apprentice 4/10 We're stretching here. Name based on a one-time gag and not related to the Daleks anyway
The Witch's Familiar 6/10 this one is set up better but still isn't about Daleks
"Resolution" 7/10 A New Year's Resolution is made! But it's something the Doctor would have done anyway
"Revolution of the Daleks" 0/10 This is complete nonsense. The Daleks are cops and then the other Daleks come in to be cops to the cop Daleks. Nothing is revolutionary about this. Nothing
"Eve of the Daleks" 9/10 Yeah this one works. It's New Year's Eve and there's Daleks.
Holy shit the last Dalek story is from 2022?
