Agreed, however the origin story itself is perhaps more interesting than numerous encounters and the varying degrees of gimmickry the the Daleks were used for in a lot of the subsequent adventures. Plus, the Dalek encounters in
Genesis (as few as they are) are probably more scary and menacing than the bulk of their other appearances put together.

There is no hope! Plus, there-in lies the issue to some degree... there is no attention span for longer stories and a lot of the build-up and menace may get left by the wayside to be replaced by cheap thrills and effects and a quick wrap-up. I may be alone, but every episode I've seen from the new series feels very rushed - even the two parters. I guess I'm just used to the multi-episode format of the classic stories.
