2e – The Power of the Daleks

The Power of the Daleks

The Power of the Daleks

A questionable identity, trusted and distrusted by the colonists in equal measure. The Doctor and the Daleks’ motives are at the heart of this story.

Marathoners with long memories may remember what I did with The Daleks’ Masterplan, and it felt fitting to reference this in their subsequent story, if only to highlight the differences. That dark crimson seemed appropriate for the late Hartnell era, at once rich and textured, and punctuated by a futuristic aesthetic. But the Troughton era feels like it should have a warmer palette. By using the crimson again, though, hopefully I’ll draw out the undercurrents and the continuity in the show.
