(First watched 2009-01-21, -22, -23, )  So they introduced a TARDIS magnet which can point to the TARDIS.  Of course, after giving this to one half of the group, the other gets lost and can't find either the others or the TARDIS.  They also have a... time travel television thing, which they use to check out various points in history.  From [[Abraham Lincoln]] to [[The Beatles]] to a very different-looking [[William Shakespeare]] and Queen Elizabeth I than the earlier ones the Doctor would meet later.  And along with losing the TARDIS for one group and getting trapped by something with tentacles for the other... the Daleks have indeed followed them there!  I enjoyed Ian reading some science fiction book and saying that it was pretty far-fetched.

So in the second episode they actually all got back to the TARDIS and took off.  But the Daleks are following again!  Short of destroying the Dalek time machine, how can this end?

So in the fourth episode the Doctor thinks they've landed in some realm of the human imagination... however, Ian is quite right that there's a more pedestrian explanation they haven't seen.  After they leave, we see... wa wa wa, they've been hanging out in some 1990s funhouse.  It seems to say a lot about 1990s funhouse technology that a fake Dracula and Frankenstein's monster can beat the shit out of Daleks, when apparently actual weapons from a much later date couldn't protect the Earth.  Aaaand they accidentally forget Vicki there, those goofballs.  So off to raid the Dalek's time machine.  But the Daleks have made a robot Doctor.  I like how the Daleks talk about how it's impossible to tell the difference between it and the original, when it's pretty clear that in some shots it's a different actor.  Which seems a bit unnecessary, because at least so far there hasn't been cause for both of them to be on screen at once.

Boy, that robot Doctor failed pretty badly at infiltrating and killing.
