So a few days ago The_Doctor offered to send some of his old Doctor Who books to the first couple people who asked, and I shot him an email. I expected I would get one, maybe two books in the mail in a month's time or so, so imagine my surprise when I came home from work and one of the three packages I had had this in it. So thanks a million! You truly are The_Doctor. And that aside, I was thinking about something about work today regarding the Daleks in the Moffat era, specifically about that one quote from Moffat about the Daleks being the Doctor's most common enemy meaning that they're also his most defeated enemy. I think the Moffat Dalek episodes have been very good about not having a straight "Doctor defeats the Daleks" plot. It's usually set up so that the Daleks don't win, but they aren't actually defeated. They arguably win in Victory of the Daleks (it's even in the title) in that they start the new Dalek race. In Asylum, the Doctor doesn't really do anything bad to them, aside from wiping himself from their memory. They get rid of their embarrassment and the Doctor doesn't get exterminated. And in Into the Dalek, a single Dalek gets taken out after concentrated laser fire, but the other Daleks are taken out accidentally in a way the Doctor didn't expect. I think it's a good way to maintain some sense of danger from the Daleks if they're legally required to be in every season, if that's really true. They're still around, but they're not getting beaten all the time.
