Dalek Empire 4 - The Fearless (Part 4) (2007)

The fourth and final instalment of Dalek Empire 4 is even better than Part 3. The story is really about Kade finally confronting Landen about what how she has manipulated him to do her bidding. The actual story was quiet a good one as it was a good veichle for Kade and Landen to do some good scenes and highlight the point that they just dont get on and that Landen is manipulating Kade with him seemingly going along with it. The scene at the end where Kade shoots Landen was the best moment of the entire series as for a brief moment there was doubt as to whether Kade would actually shoot Landen or not. When he did it was something that was a total shock because you though that Kade had enough restraint to just give her Landen with the fear that he could have shot her. The end scene leaves it open for Dalek Empire 5 and I hope that there is because Noel Clarke has been impressive throughout this series with his character well thought out and well acted. Maureen O'Brien has been another great actress in this series. Her role of Landen has also been well written and it has been subtle but integral to the story and to the character of Kade.

What I also liked was how the end of this series was linked to the end of Series 1 where The Angel of Mercy shouted 'Death to the Daleks'. I thought that it gave this series a nice place of fitting in with the chronology of Dalek Empire. This part of the series was the most thrilling of the series and that is no disrespect to the other three parts because they have all been very strong stories.
