The second instalement of the fourth series continues with all the action and pace that part one had. The plot moved along quite a lot in this episode with there being several interesting scenes. The first being the boarding of Kade onto the Dalek ship. There was also the scene between Kade and Agnes Landen was very interesting to listen to. The biggest revelation was what Landen wanted Kade to do and that was to kill the Angel of Mercy. For the first time it really felt like this fourth series was really part of the Dalek Empire storyline. The moment that it was revealed the Kade would have to kill Susan Mendes was a brilliant moment and a excellent cliffhanger.
It was also nice to see in this part Susan Mendes get in on the action with her interaction with Ollander. The character of Ollander is quite a sad one because she seems to be one who would go out of her way to be your friend but has been treated poorly by the Daleks with them taking certain parts of her brain including the part which remembers what her first name is. The fact that the Daleks did such a callas thing not only creates a new character that we can get to know (Ollander) but reminds us of what evil and vicious creatures the Dalkes can be.
Noel Clarke was on brilliant form again as Silus Kade. In this episode he didn’t seem to be as obsessed with his wife and daughter as he was in Part 1, this may have been because he was busy spending time with a nearly dead Dalek. Clarke continues to amaze me in this series as he still doesn’t bare any resemblance to Mickey Smith in the TV Doctor Who. Maureen O’Brien also continues to impress me in this series. In this part she seemed to have more input into the story and her scene with Clarke at the end was an important moment for her.
Nicholas Briggs has continued to the successful return of the Dalek Empire series and it seems that the final two parts will be just as exciting and thrilling as the first two instalments have been.
