Ian, get in the fucking box -_-; #Monsterdon

@socketwench Turns out that the #monsterdon crowd has reversed course and now wants Ian chucked into the Sun.

@jivens easily, Skaro belongs to the Thaals now!

#monsterdon

Because the Doctor doesn't want this planet to explode, he tries to offer his time machine to the Daleks so they won't kill him or nuke the planet (I think).

The Daleks are like "cool we'll both nuke the planet and steal your time machine so we can conquer other planets." which is the peril of negotiating with genocidal pepper pots I guess.

#monsterdon

Listening to these daleks talk really is one of the more enervating experiences in my life. They go longer than 30 seconds at a time and I struggle to keep my eyes open.

#monsterdon

3 is an underrated choice for a lucky number, but a small enough one that is going to make you seem luckier than you are an awful lot

#Monsterdon

Ziggy Gaydust won't fight the Daleks?

fuckwad really doesn't understand self defense, doesn't he? sounds familiar.

unfortunate that it’s getting his dick wet what makes him think twice about it.

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

I guess they fixed the lift.

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe yeah they never talk about that regeneration. #monsterdon

oh, the Daleks are gonna set us up the bomb.

#monsterdon

did i just see giant Legos?

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

This is the craziest mountaineering safety demonstration I've seen all week.

#Monsterdon

They're not done yet, they have to recruit Mog and then pick up Umaro. #Monsterdon

yeah there are events occurring, and there are some weird and goofy guys, but somehow it isn't any fun and is just tedious #monsterdon

@Terencio

"My name is Iñigo Montoya. You killed my hopes for a decent Doctor Who movie. Prepare to die."

#Monsterdon

I would say I wonder what the daleks are up to but probably having extended conversations with each other #monsterdon

"we found pipes! great, those probably go right through the mountains, let's follow them"

"ah! these pipes are going straight up a mountain. great, we can simply climb the mountain"

… :blobfoxgooglyconfused:

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ Oh, reinforcements also makes for bingo here #monsterdon

WAIT .. DR WHO IS GRAND MOFF TARKIN.

It took me 47 minutes ... Take my nerd card :(

#monsterdon

Wait, what happened to needing mercury?

#Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks

Lava lamps!

They may be a Dalek fertility object.

#monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

somebody mentioned glass files?

Is this glass square the long, long future of data storage? - https://theconversation.com/is-this-glass-square-the-long-long-future-of-data-storage-276263

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

Feeling the Thaals are a Bi and Poly civilisation...

#Monsterdon

Drink a cup of tea every time a Darlek says "EXTERMINATE"

#Monsterdon

how convenient the Thals speak english.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Herded by bumpycake roombas…

Dalek planet locations:
* swamp
* modern art gallery (danger: Daleks)
* rock wall
* others (???)

#monsterdon

@jonny That is the same as in the canon series. I think the answer is they've mutated so much they can't produce their native language anymore and instead of changing the language to the sounds they can make, they've made voice synthesizers out of pride and stubbornness

@WizardOfDocs Is that right?

#Monsterdon

what makes your wall-e'd out ass think that if you had a better rad suit you could walk around on the rocky surface of the planet. your muscles are probably pretty much jelly by now #monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai anyway, IMO if they're experiencing debilitating symptoms this soon after irradiation, they're already dead and just don't know it yet

#Monsterdon

wait so the daleks aren't robots? they're mechs and the robot part is just a rad suit? why are they talking all robotlike #monsterdon

that granddaughter of his suffers from clueless whitewomanitis in a creepy, dark forrest

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

I can’t believe her hair was done on purpose! #Monsterdon

Lol, the good Dr led his family to die on a radioactive hell planet....

#Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie What are you like a nerd or something.

#monsterdon

Ian, pantomiming A Man At The Grocery Store #Monsterdon

Ugh, why is he mincing around like that? #Monsterdon

“It’s heroin. Please put it inside for me Susan dear”

#monsterdon #doctorwhoandthedaleks1966

@SnoopJ well i don't know what the continuity is all i know is that inventing a time machine without the ability to see where you're going is like inventing a car but forgetting to put a windshield on it #monsterdon

OMG THIS MUSIC IS JAMESBONDTASTIC!

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

Ian is drunk, he got wasted before the date and that's why he's bumbling everywhere

They filmed this in Milton Keynes (jk)

#Monsterdon

Wow this Tardis looks like shit

#monsterdon

Yeah, the English dude just INVENTED a TARDIS, fall down a flight of stairs and die the whole POINT of the TARDIS is that it's entirely inhuman. #Monsterdon

Launching my #monsterdon thread for Dr Who and the Daleks! Which I assume involves a maniac in a time traveling box fighting fascist pepper pots.

Monsterdon is the thing where we watch an old monster every week and praise and/or make fun of it. Mute the hash tag if that's not your thing, if that is your thing, then follow @Taweret for the weekly poll to decide what movie to watch.

#WrongDoctor

#Monsterdon

@jgamble I watched a few minutes after not watching it for many years and now I have this meme:

#monsterdon

@paco Being stuck sucks. But you could be the first person to #Monsterdon on a plane. So there is making history to consider.

@ramsey
I thought Dr Who wore a bow tie, it just had a floppy bow and long ribbons on it. What was his tie called?

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

Well, I didn’t get a BINGO because no one wore a bow tie. Why not? Bow ties are cool!

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

@silverwizard I was terrified of that fog weapon as a child #Monsterdon

THIS. FILM. COULD. HAVE. BEEN. PLAYED. AT. DOU-BLE. SPEED. AND. STILL. BEEN. PACED. TOO. PLOD-DING-LY. #Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks

Somehow the TV series made this particular story feel better. I know it helped a lot that it was broken up into episodes instead of one continuous movie, but I guess also at least it had the whole cheesy aspect as a plus. This movie was like they were given a huge budget but then spent it all on paint...

Oh, and, for some reason, lavalamps...

#Monsterdon

The puny humans go back to the Tardis and the Thals line up to say "bye and also thanks for saving our planet" They then give them their cool cloaks in thanks.

Inside the Tardis they plan to go home but then they open the door and they're in an ancient roman movie and a legion is about to step on the Tardis I guess so they go to another time and now its ooops... i guess they're stuck forever hopping through times now, oh no.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon 97 bottles of beer on the wall!

It only took one day of the Thaals getting their shit together (and meeting Susan) for them to overthrow the Darleks.

#Monsterdon

CAPES FOR EVERYONE

#monsterdon

While the doomsday count down continues, the Thals break in and attack the Daleks with ropes, this is super effective for some reason. They then reach the control room and attack the Daleks by rotating them around so they shoot each other, this is also super effective for some reason.

#monsterdon

yeah, the Daleks are good for "shoot first, ponder if good idea later"

#monsterdon

evil dalek empire routinely defeated by uneven sidewalks, adversaries who can move at a brisk walk

#monsterdon

the Daleks not having death rays but only mist guns really does keep the stakes low here. they're just kinda manhandling them

#Monsterdon

Daleks are very much like the parents of small children. They just keep shouting the same orders over and over and being ignored.
"stop!"
"Stay where you are!"
"You can't go outside."
"Go out and find the people with the drugs and get us some drugs."

#monsterdon

Insane amount of friendly fire amongst the wheeled nazis....

#Monsterdon

wow, they've summoned the Dalek Laser Light show.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🌌⏳🛸👨‍⚕️⁉️🤖🏯😱

oh no he said 'in-stru-ments' with the 'r' where it is in spelling but not where it is in pronunciation

@JoeWynne It’s like the writers and director of this movie had never seen Doctor Who and only heard about it from someone's 8-year-old nephew who heard about it at school from his friend Tommy who had never seen it but listened to his older sister describe it.

It’s homeopathic Dr. Who.

#Monsterdon

BEHOLD, MY WHEAT THINS TOWERS

#monsterdon

"they're shining a bit of light at our sensors"

"open the doors for the counter-barrage light assembly!"

#Monsterdon

love the secret entrance to the Darlek city, very much like a toy from the 80s...

#Monsterdon

While this riveting wall climbing is going on the Daleks have their fascist rally where they lead Dalek is all like "Today we will destroy the Thals by nuking everything!" and the other Daleks are like "Hooray! Destroy the Thals!"

#monsterdon

Plan to defeat the Daleks:
1) traverse the oatmeal swamp
2) observe matte painting of space mountains and also a moon
3) climb a wall to punch some daleks
4) ???
5) prevent the Daleks from nuking everything

#monsterdon

“It’s only a drawing.”

“Shhhh!”

#Monsterdon

WE-WILL-REITERATE

#Monsterdon

Princess Bride vibes.

#Monsterdon

At the top of this climb they gotta swordfight Inigo Montoya.

#monsterdon

I think its weird that we saw the one Dalek trapped under the cloak move a hand out from under the cloak and that was never followed up on as far as I can tell.

#monsterdon

After consulting the sacred history of our people we decide to do a quest through the oatmeal swamp that is full of ninja turtles... i mean... um "mutations" whatever that is.

#monsterdon

so like we are randomly teleporting back in time to a random alien planet, spending like one day learning about its history, and the good outcome is encouraging a peaceful people to go to war? #monsterdon

Drink when the Daleks say “THE. DRUG. OF. THE. THALS.” #Monsterdon

@jsadow it makes sense to have a means of identifying individuals, and sure why not festive colors, but they have so few colors and don't seem to have like.. a nametag or something. and they don't seem to have any means of identifying each other at all since it was possible for the human to just get in one and kinda sound like one of them a little bit and they were fooled #monsterdon

@yatsu The #monsterdon community is on board with “Plan Abandon Ian.”

That's what bugged me about the Battlestar Galactica ending, they threw away the history and culture of 12 worlds, billions of people....

#Monsterdon

ok so we made it back to the time and space machine so if we want to try and repair this timeline why aren't we rapidly teleporting back and forth through time to acquire the proper resources and historical context and so on to rectify it. and for that matter why aren't we just going back in time to when the crisis happened and stopping it. i don't get what the status of time and space travel in this universe is but i don't know how there could be another half hour of this movie #monsterdon

Anyway our plan worked for like five seconds and we escape to a locked room but then the Daleks radio for instructions and are like "oh no we've been heckin' bambozzled!" and summon a blowtorch dalek to slowly burn the door opened. They escape out an elevator but can't take Ian along because he's stuck in the Dalek shell and there was a stair involved.

#monsterdon

i mean, we COULD leave him. there's not much reason not to.

#monsterdon

Bet they had fun making that elevator prop

#Monsterdon

They killed a dalek and they're WEARING ITS SKIN. This is a HORROR FLIC. #monsterdon

your entire plan rests on them not suspecting you are just a guy in one of their mech suits, and they have cameras all over their facility, and you want to get out because it's HOT IN THERE??? #monsterdon

#monsterdon They are going to disable the Dalek with refried beans.

"do you think he's dead"
"... go over there"
#monsterdon

The Sounding of the Daleks (S12 E01) #Monsterdon

@kshernandez im gonna start calling those food delivery bots "daleks" now.

#monsterdon

Back in Rivendell, the Thals receive a letter (written under duress) from Susan who is like "yo the daleks have food come visit them" and they're all like "y'know we fought the daleks a thousand years ago but it was really nice of them to invite us to brunch, lets go."

#monsterdon

"Hey, there's a little man inside here!"

#Monsterdon

So the Daleks are bumper-car based!? Ingenious!

#Monsterdon

Star Trek had a lot of those same blond mutants. #Monsterdon

In the only good news to happen so far, the puny humans realize that the ring camera eyestalks in their jail cell are spying on them and so Ian and Susan use gynmastics and a screwdriver to turn the cameras off.

But then the Daleks are like "yo the prisoners are smart maybe we should kill them." and then the other dalek is like "nah lets kill the gay elves first" and the first dalek nods his eyestalk in agreement.

#monsterdon

ah we're doing electro woo-woo again

I mean, it *is* the 60s

#Monsterdon

Don't point, Doc. Rude. #Monsterdon

Ooh!! Lava lamps!! #Monsterdon

Fediverse Denizens in this #monsterdon movie:
* Peter Cushing Doctor Who
* Scientist Daughters
* Daleks (they get reported quickly tho)
* Apologetic Boyfriend
* Gay Elf
