Yeah, I was definitely one of those people who mocked the Daleks for *years* for not being terribly frightening.
And just last year when I sat down and watched all of the three seasons that marked Tenant's run as the Doctor -- I stand by what I said. Daleks are not scary, I mean, I got nothin'. Watching them sort of made me wonder how anyone could've ever found them scary in the first place.
OTOH, full props to the snappy dialogue in that scene with the Daleks and Cyberman. 'Cause that was awesome.
