Daleks in Rugrats  
Today I pulled out one of my old Rugrats tapes for the little girl I'm babysitting. We were watching the episode 'Toy Palace' and, quite unexpectedly, I see two toy Daleks behind Chuckie! And there's also a time machine in the toy store. It made my day.

The Exotic Beatles  
It seems no one ever posted this before (I looked up with LJ seek).

There's this compilation with bizarre Beatles songs and I wanted to listen to the second CD. I saw the inlay with information about the first and the third CD. I thought 'WTF? That's a Dalek on the cover of the third CD!'
They took away the plunger and the exterminator arm but I also found a picture where they're still attached to the Dalek.

I watched Revelation of the Daleks this afternoon and it was one of the more bizarre Dalek episodes. But I will say this: Peri did not bother me too much and for once I was able to take Six a bit more seriously than usual.(Sorry Six/Peri fans!)

DIY Dalek?  
What did the art director for the old Doctor Who make those Daleks out of?
I know they made them out of wood, and it involved a bicycle seat, but what about the rest of them? What are those bumpy things made up of? Light bulbs? Tennis balls? Mortar shell casings?
What did they use to make the nose? And what about the headpiece? Is that part of a barbecue grill?
I want to know because I want to make a Dalek that looks exactly like one on the old show, and is just as functional as the prop used on the show.
Are there any websites with a piece-by-piece dissection of the Dalek prop? I'd like to know what kind of light bulbs they use and what those neck ring things are made up of.

I'm keeping up with the Commodore cause the Commodore is keeping up with me  
The other night, over dinner, my boyfriend and I started talking about Commodore games.

“There was this one game,” I said. “I remember it because it included actual speech – when the hero fell he let out this hilarious scream. Sometimes I would make him fall on purpose.”

My boyfriend arched his eyebrow and pitched his voice, “Another visitor. Stay awhile... staaaaay FOREVER!”

I gasped , startling the people at the next booth. “That’s it! That’s it!”

He nods. “It was called Impossible Mission.”

I bounced up and down in my seat. “I think it had daleks in it.”

My boyfriend frowned. “I don’t remember daleks – just a big ball of energy that would chase you around.”

“Oh.” I was clearly disappointed. “Daleks would have been cool.” I let it go thinking that he was probably right and that my memory had been playing tricks on me. After all, I played it at seven, he played it at seventeen.

This morning, I checked Wikipedia. From the entry:

Impossible Mission had only two types of enemies. The first were the robots. These had a cylindrical main body, much like R2D2 or a Dalek. Their defense was high voltage: their bodies were electrified, and some were able to use a short range death ray.

Any way you slice it (or rename it so as not to get sued), I say that’s a dalek.

I think I might have a problem...  
My ebay splurges on ponies are well known (Hey, didn't over 300 by sitting on my bidding hand :P) but now I have another obsession....

I currently have 14 items I'm watching, only 4 of them are ponies. The other ten?

Daleks and assorted Dalek related goodies.

My little Adric and Rosan will not be the only Daleks in the village for long it looks like.....XD (and yes, I'm naming them after the Doctor's companions. Dalek 1, Dalek 2 just sounds so impersonal...)

This is how Daleks take over the world, with irrisistable cuteness!

Dalek Coffee...  

Sorry if this has ever been posted before...I'm new to this community (and fandom; season 4 was my first Who Season) and this is my first post...

Anyway, I was surfing the internet earlier for pictures of tea and coffee for some stock icons I'm wanting to make, and I found this:



I don't know why, but I found it highly hilarious. :) I can just see Daleks on caffeine...they'd probably emplode...at least in my mind's eye they would...

That would make a good fanfic...

Anyway, just thought I'd post that! Toodles!

Daleks in MTV Spain  
This is probably the weirdest thing I've seen on tv, especially in Spain.

We've only seen the first season of the show but that channel wasn't very popular.
Then they're going to start again airing the show on another channel, scifi, on 15 of september. But then I don't know how did we manage to get this on MTV.



They're promoting a new bands party. But why the Daleks? and Pink Daleks? Afro Daleks??

story of the year  
Long time lurker, first time poster, but I just found this item online that I had to share with you all!

So many things delighted me about this story, first and foremost being that this guy was POSITIVE having his friend dress up like a Dalek and *kidnap his ex-girlfriend* was the best way to win her back.

Read about the incredible plot-that-couldn't here!

wee mad octopus  

Journey’s End was so incredibly jam-packed full, and I’m at the point that I can only process one issue at a time. However, I’ve come to a satisfactory conclusion on one point. A vital part of the plot which, on first glance, makes no sense whatsoever.

( Deeply insightful Journey's End discussion below the (fake) cut. And by "deeply insightful" I mean "completely cracked".  )

Your Doctor Who funny story for the day...  
courtesy of b3ta

"A friend of a friend had been
an enthusiastic user of psychedelic drugs in
his younger years. He ended up dragged along
to a nightclub after imbibing acid and was
seriously not enjoying himself. In the throes
of a bad trip he cut his losses, ditched the
club to head home as quickly as possible.

The trip got worse and worse: at one point he was
chased into an alleyway by a horde of marauding
Daleks. Faced with a brick wall dead end, he
dropped to his knees and pleaded for his life,
but still the evil Daleks kept coming for him.
He arrived at his flat, soaked in sweat before
bolting the front door and closing the curtains.

So shaken up was he that he didn't leave his
flat until the following Monday morning when
he left for work, still traumatised. The Dalek
episode had seemed so real... must have been
bad acid.

Our hero's confusion cleared when he
picked up the local newspaper on his way to the
office and read the headlines... the shortcut
past the back of the town hall? Being trapped
in an alleyway by Daleks? Turned out he'd had
the misfortune to be running past the back of
the town hall just as the exhibits for that
weekend's Dr Who convention were being unloaded
from the back of a van." (PJM)"

A lot can be learned by looking up words in a dictionary (me and my mum are word-nerds) so I'd thought I'd share the defintions for two things mentioned in "The Stolen Earth"... Oh, and then there's some speculation because of it, so stay away if you want a clear head when watching the finale!

Journeys end........  

My brain likes to work at odd hours. Like when I am trying to sleep. Just as I am about to slip off to sleep a Dalek pops in my head. Don't ask. My wonderful little mind decided to ponder, ponder and ponder some more about Dalek Who......er Doctor Who. One can never tell anymore with Uncle Rusty shoving Daleks in anytime he can.

Not sure if it has been brought up yet. Something has been bugging me about our pepper pot friends. With the last two episodes coming soon I can only hope this is solved.This is why I love and yet hate SciFi! Timey Whimey stuff that always pops up and drives you mad.


Spoilers!!!!

Hello, new to the community. I'm a fine artist who's been watching the good Doctor since my childhood back in the 80's. (they were Tom Baker episodes) I've recently started creating Doctor related works and just wanted to share a small piece that I finished last night.

Actually, this is a fairly typical scene at my house, except a dog instead of a cat. And the Dalek is wearing one of those plastic-paper Hawaiian flower bracelets around its, er, neck.

Dalek Glarkware  
I just got the Glarkware mailing about their April-only products. They're doing another Doctor Who-themed t-shirt: Ex.Ter.Min.Ate. . (I've never bought anything from them, although I've always coveted the "Moment of Triumph" tee, so mostly I just admire the design ideas they come up with.)

The question is, though: did they get the emphasis right? I don't think so. Daleks say "Ex-ter-mi-nate". However close together the final syllables, "min-ate" would place the emphasis wrong. They don't say "min".

I found a Dalek reference in one of the novels I've read this year. It's Fat by Rob Grant. If you can find it, it's pretty good, though this is the only DW thing in it.

Not exactly safe for work text. :P )

This is cute  
A bar owner in the U.S. has gotten fed up with people dealing drugs and stuff around his neighborhood, so he built a little bot that sprays ice-cold water at people. People are starting to call it Robocop and Dalek, and it does bear a little resemblance.

You can read the CNN article here, and people comparing it to a Dalek in the comments at the bottom. There is also a picture included.

(Yeah....it's crossed...)

After the Great Tourist Wars heated up between Gallifrey and Skaro, the Daleks knew they were on the edge of being beaten, even with things at a standstill...so, they decided to pull out 'The Big Guns': A Brochure!

Hiring the consulting firm of Markelson/Finchlikker, they came up with THE sure-fire weapon in the stalemate they had reached in their battle for the Vacationing Tourist.

Included are the front & back covers, and some info you'll need, when traveling to the Wonder That Is Skaro!
