Genesis of the Daleks [Classic Doctor Who]

Doctor Who has long been my favorite show, but in recent years rewatchings of old episodes have been few and far between.  But lately I decided to spend both some of my birthday spending money and my Christmas spending money on some of these adventures, and enjoy them with one or two of my nerdier daughters.

Doctor Who Theory: Fugitive of the Judoon / Remembrance of the Daleks

Recently, I was rewatching Remembrance of the Daleks, a well regarded story from the 25th season of the classic Doctor Who series.  In addition to being a well-directed story with good performances and interesting characters, it attempted to do something that current showrunner Chris Chibnall has been touted as attempting decades later…adding a little mystery into the Doctor’s backstory.  On the whole, I think this was done fairly successfully–certainly far more so then in more recent attempts.
