The eight-minute trailer looks like it’s just a very long repeat of the teaser trailer, but at 7:09, a new scene pops in to offer some really great banter between Sarah and the Doctor. “Do you have something to do with that robot?” she asks. “No, it’s a Dalek,” replies the good Doctor. “OH MY GOD, YOU KNOW ITS NAME!” Sarah shouts back. I love this, I love this so much. I will never tire of average people bringing logic to the ridiculous world of “Doctor Who.” “Is it your robot? Because you know we’ve died like two times so far, WE HAVE DIED, OKAY?!” Sarah, I love you. I am desperately hoping that we see more of her and Nick after Whittaker’s run is over, because 1) She deserves more than her non-role in “Home Sweet Home Alone” and 2) her attitude is giving serious Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) energy and it’s an absolute delight.
“They will kill everything not within its own image,” the Doctor says, a not-so-subtle reminder that the Daleks were created as allegories for Nazis when they were first introduced in 1963. If there’s any energy I hope we take into 2022, it’s that Nazis are bad and like the Doctor, we should do everything in our power to take them down.
“Eve of the Daleks” is the first in a series of specials counting down the end of the Thirteenth Doctor and will be released on New Year’s Day, 2022.
