The Galactic Union now knows of Galanar's covert mission
to find the Daleks. But what exactly has he discovered? Meanwhile,
the Graxis Wardens are adrift in Dalek territory, hopelessly
outnumbered...
Following
the revelations in the previous chapter about Amur (Claudia
Elmhirst), the spotlight now turns on the background of Galanar
(David Tennant), whose past and strange abilities have been
shrouded in mystery up until now. In typical Dalek Empire/Nick
Briggs style, few characters are exactly what they appear
to be. Indeed, can it be that Amur's allegiances have changed
again?
This
episode involves lengthy flashbacks, as it delves into the
pasts of Galanar, Amur and Selestru (William Gaunt). In the
process, we also get a welcome opportunity to hear the wonderful
accent of Morli (Dannie Carr), from Dalek War, once
again. (It's no great surprise that she was going to appear
at some point, however, because for some reason she has been
credited on the sleeve of every Dalek Empire III release
to date.)
Despite
the backward-looking nature of this instalment - or perhaps
even because of it, since the flashbacks involve several changes
of scene - the pace of the saga has picked up considerably
since last time.
Whereas Chapter Three used the Daleks quite sparingly, they
are far more heavily involved in this chapter. In particular,
the Dalek Supreme (Sarah Mowat) gets plenty of ranting to
do. There's another blast from the past (quite literally)
as the sound effect for her weapon contains elements of the
Dalek gun effect from Genesis of the Daleks - I love
little touches like that.
All
in all, things are hotting up nicely.
