Underground Toys materializes TV sci-fi swag for the holidays

source: TV Squad

Since I'm more than comfortable shilling for the geek contingent, the good folks at Underground Toys sent the evil scientist (right) over for a visit. Though he's a bit of a grump -- the 12" high, radio controlled Davros should keep any Who fan entertained. The only question I have is whether...

Introducing Trock: Songs about 'Doctor Who'

source: Digital Spy

 UK I've watched 'Genesis of the Daleks'. It was quite good. It had Davros in it, which is why I watched it, but because I'm so used to the 45 minutes, I find it really hard to watch four or five 20-minute episodes which are one story. ... Trock' Gaining Traction with Time Lord Fans Wired News

This Week in Geek (29/12/08-4/01/09)

Are all the Classic Who episodes I watched this week kind of crap? I guess they are, because our next story is Destiny of the Daleks, with the 4th Doctor and the first appearance of the 2nd Romana, and featuring the return of Davros (in a terrible mask). The story of the Daleks' war with the Move...

This meant that I missed out on the two really good Sixth Doctor stories, Revelation of the Daleks and Mindwarp. The former is the most interesting Davros story apart from Genesis of the Daleks; the latter the only one from the Trial of a Time Lord season which exploits the story-within-a-s...

source: Uncle Mikey's Spoonless Lands

These two characters should always have been each others nemesis, but only in Davros' first outing, Genesis of the Daleks, was he really a credible yang to the Doctor's yin. In that episode, we see the Doctor trying to reason with Davros, asking him what he would do if he had in his hands a viru...

Journey's End: Fact File

Reunion Davros recalls seeing Sarah Jane Smith on Skaro, when he first created the Daleks. This is, of course, a nod to the classic 1975 story Genesis of The Daleks, in which the Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane travelled to Skaro in order to stop the Daleks ever being created.

We continue with our series of geeky fan natters and cast our gaze upon the creator of the fearsome Dalek race, Davros. Just what makes this little ball of hate tick, and what has driven him to such evil acts since he first crossed paths with the Doctor way back in 1975?

Spoiler Review: Doctor Who s04e12: "The Stolen Earth"

source: Uncle Mikey's Spoonless Lands

Let's start with the good. Davros and the Daleks. I wasn't expecting this to be the good part, which may also mean that I'm giving it more credit than it's really earned, but I liked it a lot. I loved the exchange between Davros and the Doctor, thought Julian Bleach's delivery as Davros was perfe...
