Ah, the good ol' days. Watching Daleks with CO2 fire extinguishers on one side and toilet plungers on the other.

Well that is something you don't see said often.

They just don't make megamaniacal killer robots like they used to...sad.

I don't believe any of this makes sense to me....

I take it you're not a "Doctor Who" fan. If you want a quick taste of the Daleks, maybe search YouTube for a clip from "Genesis of The Daleks". They are quite the rascally killer robots.

You would be correct in that assessment. I will keep that in mind if ever I am looking for something to watch. (A rare occasion as most all my time is invested into something Tolkien) Thanks for sharing.

If you decide to follow the Doctor's adventures, you'd better get started soon, if you want to get caught up by the time you finish high school. 😉

Well, there was a hiatus from 1989 to 2005 ...

Visitor: "How can it be bigger on the inside than it is on the outside?!?!
Doctor: "Because it's dimensionally transcendental."
Visitor: "What does that mean?"
Doctor: "It means it's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside! Stop bothering me with silly questions."

I only have one more episode and I will be all caught up. Until October anyway.

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

You didnt start yesterday, I take it.

 

[Starbrow]

I've been watching for the last 40 years. It's much easier to catch up with streaming services these days, than waiting for the once a week episode on PBS.

Can't we get it back to Tolkien?

Estel imíca Lúme ar i Eleni!

Same with Reddit-- but without the quality. 😉

With Reddit, you get exactly what you paid for.
