Title: Farewell, Dalek!
Post by: Settembrini on August 14, 2007, 12:54:55 PM
Now that I´ve watched The "Genesis of the Dalek", the idea of a Prussian Dalek is not funny anymore to me.
That episode was a letdown, as I thought the Daleks to be pretty cool villains beforehand. I thought they were what they were, and not "Schutzstaffel Davros".

Instead of a Mengele´d Robo-Nazi, I prefer impersonating a reactionary 18th century Prussian Officer again.

The dalek was very cool, but I prefer the stick figure.

I can understand your sensitivities about the issue, given that clearly Genesis of the Daleks presents the Daleks as the ultimate result of nazi-esque racial supremacism, and that particularly fascist hatred of everything that is not like you.

But yeah, I still thought the prussian dalek was very cool.

As a member of an once-oppressed populace, I'd like to ask how the Daleks can be even worse? ;)

Dude, that Prussian Dalek was awesome.  I understand, connotations, etc., but -- I think that's one of those instances in which thinking too hard hurts.
