It is, I think, that Dr. Who has been screwed up for the last few to several years now. It can only get worse from what I can see and making a movie or series of movies is not going to help in any way, shape or form. They would be better off going back to a black & white TV series and finding actors who can play the part.<br /><br />All the best,<br />GBGlenn Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677859688487279914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-48426341327356505582011-11-16T17:46:14.403-05:002011-11-16T17:46:14.403-05:00Note to the writers: beware the Inverse law of Da...Note to the writers: beware the Inverse law of Dalek Scariness. <br /><br />One Dalek is pretty damn scary. <br /><br /><i>Two</i> Daleks are twice as scary, because when you've dealt with the first one, there's still another one out there! <br /><br />Three Daleks isn't quite three times scarier than one, because after you've dealt with the first two, you pretty much know their game and don't have to worry as much about, say, discovering that they can fly this week. <br /><br />Once you get to about half a dozen Daleks, the scariness per Dalek drops off rapidly and settles into a final level, because now you know the Doctor won't be dealing with them individually, and will find one trick to make them all start compulsively growing petunias or something. Ten Daleks or ten thousand, it's all pretty much the same.elmo iscariothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14710846725911318970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-34675398361364389012011-11-16T16:39:14.331-05:002011-11-16T16:39:14.331-05:00Okay, since you asked: 3D Daleks would be a waste ...Okay, since you asked: 3D Daleks would be a waste of time, and relatively unimportant in the scheme of things.
