6//Dalek

Blah, blah, blah, I suck at updating this. But I'm determined and stubborn so I will continue. Like I mentioned in my last post, I like how DW goes back to old topics (the Slitheen hand in the museum) while also foreshadowing certain topics *wink* the robot head. I like that I can make the connections to the previous episodes, am I being a Whovian?

When I saw the title of this episode, I was pumped to say the least. Because I have a Tumblr I have very minimal exposer to the show and one thing I did know was that the Daleks were serious business (I got the same feeling when I started watching Blink.) And I'm gonna be honest here, the Daleks are freaking scary. I think the scariest monsters/aliens/paranormal things on this show are the ones no leeway, meaning there seems to be no way to stop them. The Daleks are creatures who truly believe they are superior and will stop at nothing to get rid of, or exterminate, everything else. That's what makes the Daleks such great characters and what makes me fascinated by them.

The other part of this episode that I really like is Rose's human-ness. Sure, she didn't know how awful the Daleks were, but she saw a sad creature and felt for it. I've noticed that becomes common with all of the companions (at least the ones I've met so far) and I suppose this is the because it is just so inherent to human behavior. We have the Doctor who seems like he can do anything and then we have Rose who depends on the Doctor and then she is able to do something that ultimately helps and ruins the Dalek.

Overall I really liked this episode, while it didn't go into the relationship between the Doctor and another person /ally, I thought the relationship between the Dalek and The Doctor, being such enemies was so interesting.

Till Next Time
