SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.
060: Day of the Daleks
(First watched 2024-11-19, -20, -22, -24) We never get a good idea what's really going on in the wider world, except when the Brigadier starts freaking out about impending world war.
These Ogrons seem very budget Klingon, except they predate the post-TOS Klingon look by nearly a decade.
These guerilla fighters from the future... why the standard camo? Did they think that would help them blend in in a 20th century British villa? Do they just wear that everywhere? Anyway, though it hasn't been explained on the show explicitly yet, seems their plan is to kill Sir Reginald Styles and thus change history in such a way that the Daleks don't take over... though I'm not really sure how a world war one way or the other would stop the Daleks, they're way more powerful than 20th or 21st century Earth.
The disintegrator gun effect is very well done and satisfying to watch! But... the Doctor using it to vaporize several people seems pretty out of character!
In the end the Daleks fighting from the future and the guerilla from the future are vaporized by an explosion. That's... a pretty clean way to avoid dealing with "what happens to a person from an erased future".
