why did the daleks make control panels covered in buttons and dials when they literally only have a claw and a whisk

#monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

So many oscilloscopes, not a single flat screen with a GUI...

#Monsterdon

Put a potato in its exhaust!
#monsterdon

Daleks don't have radio communications, apparently

#Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks

before this movie I never wondered what a dalek smells like. I guess the answer is "ozone".

#monsterdon

It’s a good thing little Susan is there. Otherwise, they’d be in big trouble. #Monsterdon

That Certain Dalek Stench.

#monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

@jonny Hater.

#monsterdon

"The Daleks can move easily"

Can they, though?

#Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks

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"

#monsterdon

Do not trust the Darleks, ffs....

#Monsterdon

Without this kid the Adults would really be fucked...

#Monsterdon

so many lava lamps, how stoned are these guys?

#Monsterdon

@yatsu Oh I think they speak English on most planets in #monsterdon movies.

to be fair, that makeup was pretty monstrous.

#monsterdon

Who, the daleks relented on the drugs

#Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks

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

So their advanced technology does not allow drones and their plans rely on passing interdimensional children?

These Darleks aren't all that...

#Monsterdon

That's really not much drugs unless the Thal has way more on-hand that the Daleks can get

#Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks

Ground sand: for when you don't have pocket sand

#Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks

EXPOSITION! EXPOSITION!

#monsterdon #DrWhoandTheDaleks

jeez, give the kid an umbrella at least.

#monsterdon

This interrogation could have been a zoom call. #monsterdon

Love the giant rotating well of technology, but I have 200+ tabs, so....

#Monsterdon

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)

#Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks

@amyfou ye olde clipped "Dalek" speak

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Also, the good doctor is a manuipluative liar. YAY

so The Doctor has had sex and is a breeder.

weird.

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

LET
ME
EXPLAIN
OUR
STORY
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

#Monsterdon

@brooke It is his only science qualification.

#monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

hmm those moving things on the wall are probably no big deal

#Monsterdon

loving how the cctv follows her around

also

Darlek wall penises

#Monsterdon

HAHA the knock

#Monsterdon

Thinking about that Monsterdon movie where British people wiped out a Lunar civilisation by accident

#Monsterdon

Look suzie! Free drugs!
#monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

“There’s something wrong somewhere”

Thank you for that excellent analyses, Dr.

#Monsterdon

"But Susan's found a city, wouldn't you like to explore it?" is also a very JRPG statement by the titular Doctor Who.

#monsterdon

Oh. He knocked Four Times. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon There's not enough Aquanet on this planet.

@floatybirb lol, oh they're in America then #Monsterdon

Aaaand Peril™ in five... Four... Three... #Monsterdon

EEEEEEEEEK AM STARTING LATE!

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

The dad, who is also Peter Cushing, then decides to show Ian his new invention, which is a literal Tardis, which is like a police themed phone box that is bigger on the inside than on the outside and also travels through time.

The smallest daughter helpfully explains that this is "science" and not magic. Then Ian's girlfriend, one of the older daughters wanders in and kisses him, knocking him over so that he knocks a level and teleports the Tardis to a swamp planet somewhere.

#monsterdon

EX-TIME-ENATE!

#monsterdon #doctorwhoandthedaleks1966

That beehive is Marge Simpson-esque

#Monsterdon

"Come into my shed and smoke this weed...'Ian'....then you'll see some time travel"

#Monsterdon

"He wouldn't understand."

He's stupid.

#Monsterdon

"Anyone can understand science if they only put their minds to it!"

Yes, yes!

#Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks

It might be hard for younger folk, and Americans especially, to understand how little prestige television had in 1960s Britain—doing a film must have felt, for the writers and producer[s], like they were really moving up in the world, not like The Stage of course, but still.

#monsterdon
#DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks

I know Doctor Who openings are always a little weird, but this is just out of tune. #Monsterdon

BOOKS?!!

They're reading books?!

#Monsterdon

oooo "Terry Nation"

Brit TV fans will know his legacy, he made Blakes 7 among other things

#Monsterdon

@strangefour #monsterdon #WrongDaleks

I believe large quantities of alcohol had something to do with it.

@patioboater @Terencio

Though it would make a good #Monsterdon episode.

@diazona All British cinema can be traced back to the Asphyx. if you cross your eyes and ignore the facts.
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

Where is the soul? Can it be measured and dissected?
#Monsterdon #TheFleshandTheFiends

Big thanks to @Taweret for tonight's experience! We learned that some things are best left in black and white, so the money for colo(u)r can be spent on making a better things.

No smoking. No coffee. One non-human hand (foot?) (cephalopod limb?) protruding from under a shower curtain. Twinks from Planet X. Peter Cushing's contractual obligation? Far too much Dalek dialog ... but I'm beating a dead squid.

#Monsterdon #DoctorWhoDaleks1965

"The Academy of Dr Knox" sounds like the kinda place you go to learn how to do Real Estate.

#monsterdon #WrongDaleks

Anyway, that's another movie launched into space, good job team, and thanks to @Taweret as always

#monsterdon #WeHaveDrWhoAtHome

@overholt and the woman Daleks wear less

#Monsterdon #DS9TrialsAndTribblations

@alicedotjpog the monsterdon movie tonight was an ancient dr who absolutely STOKED with critical lore elements

#monsterdon #drwho

@Terencio oh no!

#monsterdon

@funbreaker Yea. But it has nothing on last weeks "4D Man"

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks1966 welp, that ended

There was no depth at all in the Dalek's security and it was their undoing.

Well that and being barely capable of even physically navigating

Right then. Back home we go. At some point in time.

THE END

Ironically the Doctor himself didn't even meaningfully contribute to the plot at all after building the TARDIS. The movie should've been called "Ian and the Fabulous Thals featuring The Daleks"

Anyways another #Monsterdon EX TER MIN ATE ED. Thanks @Taweret even Imitation Doctor is fun to watch!

Goodnight my sweet Daleks
#monsterdon

#monsterdon

MIRU . MIYAKU . MEDIA for the aftershow!!!!

okay, considering my first experience with Doctor Who was Tom Baker era, and that i have seen some truly awful DW, and that honestly i will watch the 1996 special at the drop of a hat, honestly that wasn't as bad as i thought it might be. silly? of course. made on like 2 british pounds and a length of rope? obviously. but actually bad? kinda not. maybe i'm too inured against bad Doctor Who.

#monsterdon

An AARU FING KIDDING ME PRODUCTION.

#Monsterdon

and they fucked off into the space-time continuum, good night!

I think I saw probably just about exactly the right amount of that movie

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
oh so this is where the doctor got the floor capes that he uses to kill the dalek in season 9

Thanks everyone for suffering through this - I have seen it too many times and feel nothing but disdain, but I hope you enjoyed it - the monster is the film itself!

Thanks @Taweret for hosting! #Monsterdon

oh, this is that comedy routine from the start again.

that's an ending.

let's collectively forget this one, #monsterdon

A planet of 50 foot tall Romans? They were clearly stepping over the Tardis.
Wait that ended mid sentence? Weird.
#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

Now that you taught the Thals to fight you might want to lock the door of the TARDIS

Y'know, trust but verify

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

"I'm gonna sell mine on eBay!"

#monsterdon

Take these shower curtains in remembrance of us!

#Monsterdon #DoctorWhoDaleks1965

IN RE-TRO-SPECT WE SHOULD NOT HAVE FAL-LEN FOR THE LOOK BE-HIND YOU TRICK

#Monsterdon

What did the Doctor actually do? Gets them in mortal danger by accident, then discovers mirrors for a useless distraction? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon bingo!!

ALL MY DALEKS, DEAD

#monsterdon

Ian has FANGS

#Monsterdon

And so they fucked off into time and space...?

Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon

"Doctor, we are surrounded by film!" #monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

The Daleks main weaknesses: Walls and friendly fire. #Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

Calm down Ian....this is exactly what they say about over emotional men...

That's the ending?

Not even the Sea?

Do they ever get back
(Actually they do, for the sequel)

#Monsterdon

Dalek base: my decor goals for my home
TARDIS interior: my actual home

#Monsterdon

Okay rope sling into elevator shaft is 10 out of 10 the best way I've seen a Dalek destroyed in this movie so far 😂
#Monsterdon #DrWho #DrWhoAndTheDaleks1965

ICE creeps watching the Daleks and taking notes.

#Monsterdon

Actually in some parts of London he could get away wearing a cape like that, maybe even meet Jimi Hendrix

#Monsterdon
