Remembrance of the Daleks

After the suggestion of [livejournal.com profile] themuslimbarbie, I watched my first Seven serial, "Remembrance of the Daleks." I'm not sure how tickled I am with Seven, though I do really like Ace. Maybe it'll just take some time for me like him more. And now, recap:

What is the Seventh Doctor’s accent? He rolls his Rs but… Is he just being pretentious? Hahaha Also, I noticed that the music was a victim of the 80’s. Sad, but I suppose with the utterly quintessential 80's Ace, it's appropriate.

The Doctor nose  booped Ace... d’aw…

Ace taking on four Daleks—FUCK YEAH!!

First she loses her boombox, then her aluminum bat… wth.

So, uh, not sure if this is a British thing or a Doctor Who thing, but I have been pronouncing Omega completely different. The Doctor/Daleks/Whoever say Oo-mee-guh. I say Oh-may-guh. Just thought I'd throw that in there...

The Daleks look like they’re gonna fall apart any moment. Hahahaha

Did the Doctor leave his *calling card* on the Time Controler? hahaha Okay, maybe I lied, I do kind of like him. :D

Sergeant dude: “Ace, I didn’t know it was the Daleks. I was just doing Mr. Radcliff a favor.”
Ace: “Do me a favor and drown yourself.”
HAHAHA

Designated Pretty Lady: “Doctor, how do you do that?”
Doctor: “Do what?”
DPL: “How do you just rewire a piece of alien machinery?”
Doctor: “It’s easy when you have 900 years of experience.”
Aaaand enter the age debate. Sure, there's the catch-all answer of "the Doctor doesn't know how old he is", but Eleventy is so certain about his age and actually is consistent with it later... bah, forget it. There are other things I can get worked up over.

Darvos: “The Daleks! Shall! Become! lords of time! We! shall! Become! all—“
Doctor: “—Powerful! Crush the lesser races! Conquer the galaxy!  Unimaginable power! Unlimited rice pudding! Etcetera! Etcetera!”
HAHAHAHA Okay, I definitely lied, I really do like him. :D

Daaaaamn, Doctor!  Burn up Skaro! Blow up the Dalek mother ship! You’re so sexy when you’re cold hearted.

Sylvester McCoy is Scottish but unlike David Tennant he doesn't hide the accent. I think it adds to the character.

Personally I pronounce it "Oh-meh-guh".

The Daleks being wobbly was actually the result of them having to give them bigger wheels in order to get them to roll over the cobblestones so they look like their drunk. To quote Sylvester from the DVD commentary, "Whee! I've been down the pub!"

I think the Doctor has been lying about his age for years, though the only times he specified an exact age was in Two's "The Tomb of the Cybermen" (one of my favorites) when he said he was 450 and in Seven's first story "Time and the Rani" where he said he was 953. Otherwise he's been 900 since he was Five. :)

900 is 30 for Timelords. ;)

900 is the new 1300! :p

Ahhh, I see. For some reason, I wasn't picking up on the Scottish-ness of his accent aside from the rolled R's, but that's being American for you... >_< hahaha

HAHAHA That's so funny with the DVD commentary. :D:D

Oooh, I wana check out "Tomb of the Cybermen" sometime in the future. :D:D Jamie is his companion, right?

His real name is (get ready for this) Percy James Patrick Kent-Smith. He was born in Scotland but raised in Ireland. His mother was Irish and his father, who died a month before he was born, was English. Here's his Wiki article.

I love DVD commentaries, especially cast ones. I don't remember if you've seen Five's last episode "The Caves of Androzani" but Peter Davison and Nicola Bryant are in the commentary along with the director or someone and the comments he makes during the regeneration scene are HILARIOUS.

And yep, Jamie's the companion. And Victoria as well. It's also, I believe, the first appearance of the Cybermats.

That is one heck of a name. hahaha Irish and English while raised in Scotland... O_o He's missing Wales. HAHA

I haven't seen any Peter Davison episodes but cannot wait until I get to him!! Though I think I'm going to tackle the movie and Eight next. :D
