oh hey, Ian did something right for once!
Daleks using that weird faux Greek font
The Doctor and Susan have been taken prisoner and the prison now is in the control room where the Daleks have started their "nuke everything" count down at 100.
No one will be seated during the famous Dalek falls down an elevator shaft scene.
#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks
I'm reminded of trying to learn the longjump thing in order to go to Xen in Half Life. #monsterdon
No one will be seated for the chasm crossing scene! that goes on at length! #monsterdon
I don't really know or even care WTF is going on
DIG THAT COUNTDOWN FONT.
Bingo... I think. Can't believe there hasn't been a helmet in this movie yet. π€¦ββοΈ
@combatwombat He fell like 2 whole feet
A room full of darleks babbling at each other is pretty freaky though.
They should do something about all those open life shaft...idiots...
while i was shitposting and not paying attention, one of the Thals wanted to go home but fell off a cliff because they had to cross a cave cliff in this movie.
Dalek city defenses so far:
* oatmeal swamp
* wall
* cave cliff
oh come on, he doesn't even get a scream while falling to his death? weak
They're bringing the lights to the rave party.
like people flashing their cell phones at a concern. are the daleks gonna come out and put on a number?
Time for more rock climbing. #Monsterdon
@CactuarJoe Time Lord Hairspray #monsterdon
Time for the other redshirt to die, huh? #Monsterdon

Whiney Thaal fucked it
Get the feeling this tall Thaal is the 'Susan' of the group.

In the oatmeal swamp, Ian decided to wash his face and saw a fish or monster or zombie or something, so he left, but then we discover that there are water pipes in the swamp that the Daleks use to get their water that maybe we can sabotage or something.
But anyway, the the main Thal Elion or Elrohir or somebody goes to wash his face and gets dragged into the swamp by an unseen something. But anyway we just ignore that and move on.
He seems new at this. Not that good at Doctor Whoing yet.
#Monsterdon
@Taweret innit? #Monsterdon
@srol It is true that despite being a Dr Who movie it has a standard B movie plot.
@moira They don't talk as much as these Daleks
@jonny They must only be able to identify each other through color because they all speak in the same voice so maybe they can detect subtle variations in holiday toy colors.
π΅ THE SWAAAAMPS ARE ALIVE WITH MUUUTAAAATIOOOOON! πΆ #monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks
Quick, Doc, roll for initiative. #Monsterdon
Make sure to invite Daleks to your party and give them drugs so they don't blow you up
We get a philosophical sequence in the swamp where the Thals are like "bummer I wish we could reason with the Daleks" and then the Doctor is like "you cannot reason with them, they are genocidal fascists!" which is a thing the Doctor would say in the show but makes no sense for this current context where the Doctor knows very little about the Daleks, but then the Thals are like "nah we can't fight we're pacifists now because of the nuclear war." and then they're both like "ok bye."
WHY ARE NONE OF THIER NIPPLES SHOWING
Wonder if the individual Dalek colors are more than just a fashion choice.
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon ok the overabundance of dalek dialogue is really irritating
As the puny humans escape, the Thals have shown up with their wicker baskets to collect all the food.
BTW I'm pretty sure this movie is like 75% just ripping off that one story from the real Doctor Who original series... Almost everything that has happened is just a really crappy version of that one being rehashed, but in color and lavalamps.
If the Thals make it through this, they are going to kick ass on the '80s new wave music circuit with that hair and makeup combo.
Pretty heavy conversation about Fascism, Resistance and War...for kids.
@CactuarJoe OSHA requirements #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe they hate themselves most of all
Aw, I thought Ian had been BBQ'd.
Having captured our dalek, we unlock it and um... throw out the squid thing that drives it.
Anyway we get Ian to sit in the empty dalek shell and um have him pretend to be a live dalek escorting the prisoners out. Except he doesn't know how to drive the dalek shell and they have to drag it along, so this is very much a "here's a stupid plan the players made up that the GM has to pretend might actually work."
LA LA LA JUST TAKING OUR DALEK OUT FOR A WALK
why did the daleks make control panels covered in buttons and dials when they literally only have a claw and a whisk
Why is Barbara wearing a basketball on her head?
#monsterdon
we devised an escape plan where we confuse the dalek then blind its eye with the pudding then grab it while its screaming for help and trap it on a cloak so it can't move because it needed the floor for power.
So many oscilloscopes, not a single flat screen with a GUI...
Put a potato in its exhaust!
#monsterdon
Daleks don't have radio communications, apparently
before this movie I never wondered what a dalek smells like. I guess the answer is "ozone".
Itβs a good thing little Susan is there. Otherwise, theyβd be in big trouble. #Monsterdon
THE FUTURE IS PLASTICS

"...if we could find a weakness in the Daleks. Just one."
"Stairs?"

Evil Dalek Conference 3
"its so great that we are spying on the puny humans. should we kill them?"
"no lets like trick them and pretend to give them food and then kill the thals"
"okay"
"Take a letter!"
"We want to be your friends. Yadda yadda yaddaβ¦. Now sign your name. No smiley faces! We're Daleks!"
Do not trust the Darleks, ffs....
Without this kid the Adults would really be fucked...
so many lava lamps, how stoned are these guys?
@yatsu Oh I think they speak English on most planets in #monsterdon movies.
to be fair, that makeup was pretty monstrous.
Who, the daleks relented on the drugs
Very convenient of the Daleks to tell us all their evil plans via their Two-Dalek evil conferences.
I guess their plan is to um... let the humans die I guess. That seems actually pretty low on the evil scale for Daleks.
#monsterdon The Daleks trained at the William Shatner School Of Too Many Commas!
So their advanced technology does not allow drones and their plans rely on passing interdimensional children?
These Darleks aren't all that...
That's really not much drugs unless the Thal has way more on-hand that the Daleks can get
Ground sand: for when you don't have pocket sand
EXPOSITION! EXPOSITION!
jeez, give the kid an umbrella at least.
This interrogation could have been a zoom call. #monsterdon
Love the giant rotating well of technology, but I have 200+ tabs, so....
I want to point out that if it's been a few centuries, they've gone through quite a few half-lives of everyone's favorite gamma emitters (cs-137, Sr-90)
@amyfou ye olde clipped "Dalek" speak

ONCE
AGAIN...
..Darlek's amrite?
#Monsterdon
Anyway the Daleks are the real stars <3 #Monsterdon
#monsterdon It's a meat-packing roach motel city. Dopey adventurers check in, and they never check out.
it's like the first and only intuition you need for urban exploration: don't go in anywhere that you don't have a guaranteed path back out out of. if a door has a mysterious opening and closing mechanism that requires you to touch a chair on the other side, you don't go through that door. these guys deserve to get juiced down into machine oil or whatever the bad guys do with them #monsterdon
yay, the main characters are here
@brooke It is his only science qualification.
What if the whole city is one giant darlek art installation and we've got them all wrong?
Love the Infosec of HQ there "just print everything out on the floor for anyone..."
She should have wedge the door open with that enormous hairdo. #monsterdon
Outside we find a makeup box lying in the dirt that has little bubble things full of some kind of pink drug in it, which we add to our inventory in case its a quest item.
Then we go to the city and discover that inside it's a modern art museum with golden sliding doors and statues of stacked rectangles and also windmills. The doors do not obey our commands.
hmm those moving things on the wall are probably no big deal
HAHA the knock
Thinking about that Monsterdon movie where British people wiped out a Lunar civilisation by accident
We wander through a swamp a bit and then get grabbed by a hand, so we go back to our Tardis to discuss how weird this is and then something knocks on our door. We use our jury rigged TV to look outside.
Ian is like "lol fuck this place, can you take us home?" and Dr Who is like "sure!" which is the opposite of what the TV Doctor Who would say because in the TV show the Tardis just goes wherever it wants randomly.
Look suzie! Free drugs!

The planet is hideously radioactive if I remember the lore....

is there a Becdel (?) test but for books?
"But Susan's found a city, wouldn't you like to explore it?" is also a very JRPG statement by the titular Doctor Who.
Oh. He knocked Four Times. #Monsterdon
