Doctor Who: Destiny of the Daleks

I rewatched this first serial of the seventeenth season on 30 March 2023. I have vague recollections of this story being new when I first saw it back in the day. 

We begin in the TARDIS with the Doctor treating K9’s laryngitis (!) and Romana trying on bodies while she regenerates. All women, and I’m fairly sure they’re all white. She settles on that of Princess Astra in The Armageddon Factor, which brought Tom Baker and Lalla Ward together as Time Lords travelling together in a TARDIS with a randomiser to thwart the Black Guardian. In that sense, it’s a rare Doctor Who story that hooks up to continue with the previous season.

Douglas Adams is in full script editing mode, and his mark is all over it. As a Hitch-hikers’ fan, I approve of the cross-reference to Oolon Colluphid. Unfortunately, this serial also contains the joke about Daleks being easy to escape from… 

It’s Terry Nation’s last script for Doctor Who, in which he brings back the Daleks (after a long break of 25 stories/4 years), and Davros, on Skaro…. instead of the Thals, we meet the Movellans. While the Movellans all wear white and silver, they are actually a rather diverse lot in terms of gender and skin colour. The silver braided hair they all have and similar make-up creates an intriguing aesthetic. Actually, the Dalek labour force are incredibly diverse, too.

Bravo to a fun story that deals with a few interesting real problems.

Welcome to DailyJSA's JSA Member Tournament!

Sixty four enter, one takes the crown!

These are characters who were either explicitly stated to be members of the JSA, or very involved with the team to the point that they're basically a member (mainly applies to Thunderbolt). Some are in a grey area due to retcons (such as Hippolyta) or were barely involved with the team, but they still count. Batman, Wonder Woman (Diana), Superman, and Robin have been excluded from this tournament to give other less popular characters a fair chance.

These initial matchups were made with a randomizer to be as fair as possible.

Each week, a round of polls will be posted. All polls will be a week long.

Since there are so many matchups to start, Round One will be split into two parts. The matchups are below the cut for those who may have trouble reading the bracket.

[henrysglock]

I fully and truly believe ST1 Brenner was trying to kidnap Will to restart his “program” using El. All the Henry paralleling with Will, all the Edward paralleling with El…it screams “New Adam and Eve”.

1983 was set up perfectly to be 1959 all over again. Dead mother, dead sibling, kidnapped kid, father blamed for it and sent away. The only difference is that Jonathan was unexpectedly away during the attack, and Henward got to Will before Brenner could. Brenner had a fully realistic body ready for Will, he had the police set to cover it up, all the same as 1959 with the Creels.

I maintain that Joyce and Jonathan would have died that night like Virginia and Alice if they had been home, and that the Creel murders were doctored after the fact by HNL to make it look like Victor did it. If they could do it to Victor “Family Man” Creel, then Lonnie “Abusive Screw-Up” Byers would have been a no-brainer.

Henward just got there first, in our timeline (Not that he didn’t end up doing something similar with those slugs, but he’s not Brenner about it if you catch my drift. Less of a calculated breeding program, and more of a “pompilid spider wasp using a golden cartwheel spider as a host for its egg”.)

I can’t say the same for his timeline, though:

This newspaper, which also happens to be the one that conflates Joyce and Terry, putting Will and El in narrative similar positions to Henry and Edward in the 1959 papers. Henry and Edward, taken as genetically pure identical twins. El, kept in the lab because her genetics are pure. Will, taken because Brenner sees a new Henry to restart the program.

So while no, I don’t think Will was ever a number/lab kid pre-1983…I do think Brenner wanted him, since El brought his little breeding program to a screeching halt in 1979. And as every funded scientist knows…no subjects-> no results -> no money. Brenner needed another half for El, and desperately so.

Will was meant to be his brand new Henry.

Also, not to mothergate this too much, but…

Will with all his young Henry parallels (sensitive artist child, queer)…El with all her lab Edward parallels (Angela’s attack and her killing the agents in ST1 are direct parallels with the massacre in ST4)…Henward being “twins” not by birth but by circumstance via timelines…Jane and El seeming to be in a similar position as timeline twins like Henward…Willel also being “twins” not by birth but by circumstance…

Brenner looking to replace Henward, the first Adam and Eve. Brenner just couldn’t DIY a boy from Jane the way he could DIY a girl from Edward. Thus: needing Will, who seems similar enough to Henry (if not even more docile) that the program should be able to continue as it had been in 1979.

spiderman!chase davenport

introducing SpiderByte.

I have so many headcanons for him. ask me about him i will go insane.

(more pics + hcs under the cut)

- he was bit by a radioactive spider experiment he was helping Mr. Davenport with. (ABC are not bionic in this au)

- has a twin brother named Chandler "Spike" Davenport. He becomes Venom (aka S.P.I.K.E - Symbiote under Protective Intel from Kalderan Embassy [yes ik it doesn't make sense shut up])

- His canon event was his 'best friend' Sebastian trying to take down Spiderbyte, in the process ending up as the this universes Lizard, and then dying.

- Leo finds out in a similar fashion to Ned from the movies, catching Chase in his suit, and then becoming his man in the chair.

- His goggles have cybermask technology in them, to shift his features so he's not recognizable (my boys got sensory issues let him LIVE)

- autistic + adhd + bisexual

- is a regular at Mighty Med (maybe it's bc of the cute, normo doctor(s)...)

- Adam is a Cheerleader and Bree is a football player and track runner. Thank you.

- His MJ is a boy in his science class named Mercer Jackson.

- Some of his villains include Marcus Davenport Osborn/Green Goblin and Douglas Davenport Osborn/Doc Ock

- Sidenote. Principal Perry is J. Jonah Jameson. (Terry Cherry Perry...)

- When the revelation comes out and Adam realizes Chase is stronger than him, he cries a lil bit.

[fremulon]

is there any masterposts on easter eggs or some analysis on good omens s1?

im rewatching it and i want to be more aware of the little hidden things

Ooh I don't know of anything but @fuckyeahgoodomens might have something!

Some that I can think of off the top of my head:

You can see Terry Pratchett's hat and scarf in Aziraphale's bookshop

The guard at the airbase is reading American Gods

Crowley's license plate is NIATRUC which is "curtain" backwards and a reference to a scene from Monty Python

Arthur Young's license plate is SIDRAT or "Tardis" backwards and he addresses Crowley as "Doctor"

There's a number of little tells that Aziraphale and Crowley aren't who they appear to be at the end of episode 6, I think

I think there's a set of Just William books in Aziraphale's reconstituted bookshop which iirc was one of the inspirations for the Them/Adam parts

Neil Gaiman is sleeping in the movie theater when Crowley is there

I think there's various times where you can see some of the other Agnes Nutter prophecies onscreen

This isn't an Easter egg but in the Globe scene if you just listen to Hamlet doing his monologue, I'm pretty sure he's repeating lines: he does the part starting "for in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil" twice. Also, Shakespeare calls him "Burbage" who was the star player of the Lord Chamberlain's men and the original Hamlet.

When Newt is introduced, the camera malfunctions a bit in apparent reference to his technological curse.

Newt's scene at his new job is filmed in a camera style similar to "The Office." Also I THINK but I'm not positive that the group doing management training at Tadfield Manor is the same as the company Newt gets fired from.

The movie "Witchfinder General" is playing on the TV in the background of Crowley's meeting with Shadwell

I think everyone knows this but the use of Queen songs is a nod to the book which has a running gag that all cassette tapes left in a car for more than 2 weeks become a Best of Queen album

Also not really an Easter egg but in the book the third baby DOES survive and have tropical fish and he's a minor character named Greasy Johnson! JUSTICE FOR GREASY

You can see Elvis in...I think the restaurant Famine is in? As a reference to the conspiracy theory about Elvis still being alive (in the book Death also comments that he never took him)

There's a TON more though I know, so if anyone has a link to a full list, chime in to help anon!

[jellyjack-cheese]

I have NOT been posting my art here lately goddamn

New actually original character, Terri Vise, who can broadcast anything ever with cameras he pulls out of hammerspace

Judas again but sexy

Shipped Adam with Lynne from Ghost Trick for awhile

Files the serial numbers off of the Tenth Doctor and calls it a day

[terrence-silver]

could we get more terry with clingy beloved? My fav duo Love your blog♥️

---

He did the unthinkable. He just did it.

He pretended to have sprained his ankle, mid-training.

Of course, the very notion Terry Silver would have combat mishap during his strenuous, routinely exercises, least of all, that he'd be hindered by it, slowed down by it, limited by pain in any sense was preposterous and entirely laughable, but you didn't need to know that. You really didn't. Or if you did, it was simply better that you were occasionally led to forget what his body could really endure. The same way you didn't need to know the fact that his injury was entirely made up. Invented. Just for you. Because of you. For this occasion. He supposed he enjoyed it. The way you instinctually jumped around him when you perceived him down. When you thought he needed it. When you thought him, and the word sat like a living wound on his tongue --- weak. Was this was what weak was? Being doted on? You giving his sparring partners the wry looks because you were convinced they carelessly injured him during their allotted training hours even though he went around injuring them several times mid-session instead of it being the other way around and they were simply paid to take it like professionals should? Touching him, carefully, as if fearing to break him? Cooing him? Helping him to a nearby seat like he was some sort of martyr having just gone through penance even though there was literally nothing wrong with him and he didn't even need to put in too much acting to convince you of the opposite? A mere 'Ow' was often enough to send you spiraling like an expertly programmed robot. If this is what collapse meant, Terry rather relished his time down there, trying very hard not to show his satisfaction anywhere on his face and finding it even harder to control it manifesting on his body when your expression furrows in worry and he feels himself harden.

-"I'm not leaving your side until I'm certain you're okay."-

You say, with conviction, cradling his whole foot after practically shouting for the staff to call a doctor. Oh. That felt good. It felt good to see you catastrophically overreact.

It felt warm.

His chest filling with tingles. He imagines himself a giddy school girl with a scraped knee, being lifted up and carried by the brave class jock. How was it that you didn't notice his foot was absolutely alright --- in prime condition, same as always --- and that the surface of his skin didn't even do as much as grow red from the pressure of whatever impact it supposedly suffered? How did you not notice? It was great that you didn't --- infinitely amusing, a testament to his skills, in fact --- but were you wrapped around his finger to the degree that he could tell you anything, just about anything, and you'd believe it? Staunchly? That the sky was made from dogshit and ice cones? That a Blackbelt and a former Black Ops Veteran just goes around, tripping and falling over himself randomly, like some sort of klutz? Terry supposed that was the case, deciding to amp up the pressure and play the role of the martyr just a bit more, acting hard to get and unnecessarily humble. Just to reap a bit more of what you had to offer. -"Huh? No. That's fine. I'll walk it off. Karate's all about walking it off. Walked off worse."- He clicks his tongue, ever the good sport, shaking his head, pretending to be in pain and acting courageous about it, waving his hand, putting in an Oscar-worthy performance in the department of fake limping. It takes every bit of willpower in him not to laugh when he spots Margaret from the other end of the lobby giving him a speculative, unimpressed gaze. -"Out of the question, Terry!"- You're adamant, holding him by his hand and easing him back into his seat. And that point, it was hard not to burst. -"You've been pushing yourself too hard and now look what happened!"- You stare down at his completely healthy foot like it was about to be amputated or some bullshit, pointing at it with your nose, outraged and oh so sweetly delusional.

-"Now you're in pain."-

You add, with the sort of grieved, whiny voice that could melt an iceberg.

-"Pain's a part of training."-

He pretends to nobly relent all while entirely pain-free, never confessing to there being any ache in the first place even if only for the purposes of the lie itself, not wanting to appear too much of a mush even while going out of his way to appear as just that, maintaining a careful balance between the two, tip toeing the line between artificial victimhood and a knightly sort of deliberate Zen detachment to keep you titillated further, feeling the warmth in his chest grown even hotter at the attention you provided, never taking his eyes off of you, concocting plans of what he can act like he hurt tomorrow next, finding that he rather liked this game.

[flipper-kisses]

lol anon back (same anon that listed why Rami is amazing)! I got more 🙃

He’s our clumsy king and owns it

He fell at the Oscars, fell/pushed off a side railing, did parkour only to fall when he started running on the ground (it was a Mr. Robot blooper), fell backwards in a fucking chair, and tripped during the Red Carpet at the Met Gala. This man literally trips over air and himself but we still love him ❤️

Spending time with Emma who is non-binary

Literally does make a difference because it helps non-binary people feel like they’re noticed!

Puts so much thought and consideration i to his characters and roles!

Just think about all he had to do for “The Pacific”, “Mr. Robot”, and “Bohemian Rhapsody”! Definitely lots of dedication and hard work and passion for his roles, like wow. 

Rami’s hair

Never gets old and I love his curly hair era! Also wavy hair too! Wonderful hair lol

He has great expectations for his roles

In an interview, Rami was asked if he was happy about “Night at the Museum” casting a pharaoh correctly. Rami’s reaction literally said, “that shouldn’t be something to be super overly happy about, it should just be casted correctly”. Good expectations honestly. 

Rami was the side character for so damn long and steals every scene he’s in

Rami is literally amazing in all scenes he does and even if he’s not the main character, all eyes are on him (at least mine are 😌)

He’s one of the best versatile actors I think I’ll ever witness!

This man has literally played: a gay teenager who was crushing on his best friend

traumatized war veteran who has a thick Cajun accent

an iconic and memorable lead band singer

Alcatraz prisoner who plays the violin

ancient mummy pharaoh that comes to life at night

hacker with d.i.d and ptsd

a doctor named Adam Terry

random dude in Battle Ship

a vampire with a cool scarf

a mountain man and in real life Rami gets the chance to squabble in a tiny boat with his identical twin lmao (best sibling fight we’ll ever witness, @the-real-ramimalekpeen have you used this scene for Twin Tuesday yet?)

a 6’0 tall guy in a video game who was said to most likely have schizophrenia

a dude with a beard

a weirdo guy in the literal fucking show “BoJack Horseman”

and like so many other characters I’m choosing not to describe

Already said he was a “bad boy” and pranks people but he’s literally really funny 

Have you seen him in different interviews? Such a charmer and pretty funny as well.

Like the interview with Charlie Hunnam where there was a question about Rami’s eye color and he and Charlie were teasing each other and trying to find out Rami’s eye color. Then some pictures are also pretty funny.

Also the “DoLittle” game with Robert Downey Jr (Rami’s whole outfit and appearance during the Ellen Show with Robert Downey Jr 😩👌 literally here for his outfit, freaking immaculate lmao)

“wE sHot LiVe aiD oN dAy onE” 

That’ll be in my head forever, thanks Rami

“A playful smooch”

I don’t think I’ll recover from the shocked looks on everybody’s faces when Rami exposed how he had a kiss with Daniel Craig. 

His fans are wonderful 

This man has the best real fans. Which includes the fan artists, fanfic writers, and people who just appreciate him and/or his films! also people who stand up for him which is YOU Flipper and RamiPeen 👏

Photo shoots

How can you look at his photo shoots and NOT smile??? Precious but also sexy man. 

Again he has a literal soft spot for children

That one time where I’m pretty sure he read a book to a few children

Best hugs

He seriously gives the sweetest and warmest hugs. Like can I get a hug?? 🫂 

Oppenheimer moments

I don’t care what anyone says about his role in Oppenheimer. He had literally eight minutes of screen time yet still went for the fucking jugular and was successful. 

The bulge

He has no shame and no, I won’t expand on this except… @the-real-ramimalekpeen 😉

Doesn’t give a fuck about haters

Lmao y’all hated Rami in Amsterdam and thought his character was stupid? Well he probably doesn’t give a shit (or is obliviously living his best life) lmao. 

Ages like fine wine 

God he looks like he’s in his fucking thirties in so many pictures. Raise your hand if you ever looked at a picture of him and thought, “oh a picture when he was in his twenties!” and it turns out the picture was taken in his fucking 40s… a few days ago… Unproblematic people age perfectly. 

His smile makes me smile

Could he be any cuter??? His smile literally is so wonderful.  

Most caring thing you’ll see all day and is husband material

When he was giving Emma his jacket, comforting the woman (friend) who was crying and thanking the waitress, and so many other events 🥺

Okay anyways got even more than this lol… sorry for rambling on about our Rami. I’m just so happy I finally get the chance to share my Rami findings and thoughts I’ve collected over the years.

I love your love for him!

Explanations/Opinions below the cut:

Ok so I have several reading lists/stacks that I rotate through: my to-read spreadsheet (which has almost 300 titles listed in chronological order by date added, with the oldest being from 8/22/2014), my to-read bookcase/nightstand (which holds ~50 books I’ve acquired over the past few years but haven’t yet read), a stack of oversized unreads that don’t fit on the nightstand shelves (this gets its own list bc I need to read them and find a permanent home for them before the stack gets too tall), and “interruptions” (books that override the list order bc I didn’t want to wait to read them, for whatever reason).

Maybe it’s weird that I’m so attached to reading things “in order”? Idk. I’ve always been like this. It’s only a mild compulsion – obviously, I am perfectly capable of ignoring what’s supposed to be next on the list, in favor of reading something that catches my interest more strongly in the moment, but in general, I like to read things either in the order I added them to the list, or the order I personally acquired a physical copy (if I went by the list only, I’d be drowning in unread books [yay, college town thrift stores], so I gotta stay on top of that pile pretty regularly). So that is why I am often reading things that I first became aware of/added to my list nearly 10 years ago. Sometimes this practice results in feelings like, “Dang, I wish I would’ve actually read this 10 years ago,” but also sometimes, “WOW, I’m so glad I’m reading this RIGHT NOW, as opposed to 10 years ago when I first heard about it!”

I think my favorites this year were Mariette in Ecstasy; Other Voices, Other Rooms; Crapalachia; and Speak, Memory.

Mild disappointments were the essay collections by Leslie Jamison and Meghan Daum, two authors I’m pretty sure I discovered via popular and relateable quotes reblogged on tumblr ca. 2014, but the collections taken as a whole just had too many moments of cringe – casual classism, arrogant self-absorption, and other annoying and unrelateable qualities typical of privileged 20-something writers (this tone definitely appealed to me when I was a naïve and melodramatic snotty 20-something, so there’s that).

As a kind of memorial, Rachael and I read David’s three favorite books: The Stars My Destination, Mother Night, and American Gods. In all the time I knew him, including all the times we used to sit on the porch together, reading quietly while he drank whiskey, I never thought to ask him his favorites. I kept looking for pieces of him in the stories, wondering what lines stood out, what made a book memorable, what did it say about him that these were his favorites.

Being an elder Millennial, I’m in the stage of nostalgically re-acquiring important artifacts from my childhood, so that’s why there are some children’s books on my list. Where’s Waldo? was one of the most coveted books in my grade-school library! There was always a list of people waiting to check it out, but usually, whoever actually had the book that week would let the other kids gather around and look together.

My Heart Is a Chainsaw was a recommendation from my goth teenaged birthdaughter <3 which I probably read too much personal symbolism into but maybe not!

I thought John Updike was overrated, lol.

Favorite photography book: W. Eugene Smith’s Dream Street. His pictures made me so homesick, and it was wild because he took them from 1955-1957 but they still really, REALLY, to me, looked like the Pittsburgh of my ‘80s/’90s memories (bc Pittsburgh doesn’t change, and also the “idea” or “brand” of Pittsburgh in the ‘80s/’90s was ofc consciously referencing its industrial working-class past). He took over 10,000 photos but was never able to “finish” the project to his intense, obsessive standards of perfection (I KNOW THAT FEEL) and felt it failed to capture the multifaceted essence of the city. WELL, not in my opinion at least!

PS I'm moonmoth on LibraryThing.
