Wow, RTD. Just wow.

I personally saw nothing up with that. It was a perfectly realistic comparison to make.

Well they're not going to use cereal boxes and sticky tape, are they?

What was wrong with that? I felt that was a very Dalek-like thing to say. Like "Pity? I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank".

Preachy? She wanted the kids out of the way so she could use a laptop. She wasn't trying to say "don't steal, kids, stay in school and wear a condom".

I'd be pretty scared if a bunch of alien creatures came to earth firing lasers everywhere and blowing houses to sky-high-kingdom-come-bollocks-and-gone.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that... Davros looks totally different to the Daleks, the supreme Dalek has always looked different in some way. The Dalek emperor was worshipped as a god, and he was like half-dalek, half 'war of the worlds' tripod.

Aww
I thought that was a lovely nod to 'The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.'

Wasn't he trying more to keep people's attention so that they are more encouraged to watch next week?
Don't get me wrong of course, I disliked this episode a lot. I'm not taking a pop, nor am I devaluing your review, Danny. I respect your opinion. I'm just highlighting some of your points that I disagreed with.
