7. Victory Of The Daleks (2010)
Perhaps no other story has divided Doctor Who fandom quite like this one. People either loved the brightly colored "New Paradigm" Daleks (also referred to as "iPod Daleks") or hated them. But their radical reboot is nothing but good for the series, and here's why. This is a rare adventure in which the Daleks come out ahead. Previously on the brink of extinction, the Doctor unwittingly ensures their continued existence as a further evolved extension of their species. The "New Paradigm" refers to the roles assigned to each colour-coded class of Daleks. There's Red Drones, Blue Strategists, Orange Scientists, White Supremes and Yellow Eternals (a function the series has yet to fully explain). By completely rebooting the Daleks in this fashion, and entirely ditching all of the historical baggage associated with them (such as Davros and the other Dalek classifications like Emperor), the series now has a completely blank slate to work with. And after 50 years of being the go-to villain, a bit of a remake was certainly in order. It's true some fans don't like them but kids seem to love them. And who can blame them? Plus, their next appearance will hopefully explain their classifications (and what that weird slot in their back is for).
