No, I'm not talking about the losers in the Election. I am talking about the poor Dalek in Doctor Who last Saturday. I never thought I'd see the day when a Dalek would make me cry! But it did indeed seem to be a sad and great loss when the Dalek couldn't cope with being a being with feelings, emotions and compassion, and regarded it as a sickness. I imagined a whole new beautiful thing, where the Dalek would turn out to be the Doctor's friend, and both would put aside their differences and work together for the greater good. The Dalek would be a lively companion for the Doctor and Rose as they travelled round the Universe. Like a small child it would learn new experiences. It would learn to show compassion, to help others, it would learn friendship and love. It could be the start of the Doctor's life-long mission to convert all the universe to good! (a bit like in The Witches when Grandmother and the little boy decide to go round the world turning all the witches into mice, except slightly different!). Mind you, I am the person who wanted Christine Daae to choose the Phantom and generally feels sorry for the baddie!
It was a great episode though! Though people are of course forgetting that Daleks already could go up the stairs, as in a Sylvester McCoy adventure Remembrance of the Daleks they did!
Am really liking the new series- it's the first programme in frankly ages, that I've really really been enjoying, and videoing if not in! Hurrah for the BBC!
