Doctors and Whos


The new season of Doctor Who started not too long ago, with a new Doctor, a new outlook, and a FAR higher budget. I like it, kinda. I mean, it is still pretty early in the season but I don't think it is bad or anything. I like the new Doctor and how... kinda not nice he is. Sets a new tone for the character, he is all prickly and kinda crazy, and just might let you die while not being ultra-positive.

That said, I am not sure I liked the last episode. And while I won't get too spoilery, it is no secret that it features Daleks (It is in the episode title). My issue with it isn't the general plot, or why they do what they do to what they do it to, or any of the things I have heard people have issues with it. My issue is that it features Daleks! I mean, didn't the doctor kill them all? Multiple times? Like, over and over again? The ones from the prison, the ones made from humans by the emperor, the ones who captured their creator and wanted to blow up the universe, the ones who were attacking Gallifrey, the ones who were in New York and the ones who were made by the ones in New York. Seriously, every single time a Dalek shows up the Doctor is there to kill them all, not take them prisoner or disable them or anything, he kills every single one of them! So where did these guys come from? How did they escape the bits at Gallifrey, or any of the other mass-killings that the doctor has launched upon them? Ah but then they did have that whole Dalek Parliament thing a while back (Don't even get me started on how much the Daleks shouldn't have any form of Democracy!) and he didn't kill all of them, so maybe those were related. Of course, that begs the question of why he didn't kill them. Ah, rant off, back to writing!
