h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Davros was a good 'mouthpiece' for the Daleks, but in being their spokesman he reduced the daleks from faceless, powerfull all conquering stuff-of-nightmares to being nothing more than foot soliders.

Exactly. He worked well in one storyline, but repeated use of him has actually made the Daleks less scary and less effective as 'monsters' than the Cybermen.

If they make Davros more like he was in Genesis it might work. I always disliked Terry Molloy's burbling patheticness.

He's just one of those characters that the more I knew about him, the less I cared.

He's also almost a Master type character- if he's such an evil genius, how come every time he tries something new it takes Our Hero 4 episodes to wind it up?
At least with the daleks being a large faceless group you could suppose that they're fighting on lots of fronts at any given time, and whenever the Doctor is defeating them on one planet they're busy conquering another dozen.

Interesting, I'm glad we're not the only ones who are wrapped up in Paranoia and theories

The Anne Robinson robot doesnt die, unfortunaely, just in this version of 'The weakest Link' that Rose is made to play, after each round the person voted 'The weakest link' is vaporised, killed, snubbed out, likewise with the Doctor's Big Bro - whoever gets voted out gets snuffed (an idea that the real big bro should adopt). Thats where the loads of death comes from, I betcha.

Woohoo Sci Fi rule

and proud

from the badwolf.org.uk site:

"If you're concerned by the thought that the universe has been irrevocably altered by an enormous experiment in neuro-linguistic programming, then just tell yourself "The Bad Wolf is not real. The Bad Wolf is not real. The Bad Wolf is not real.""

neuro-linguistic programming? umm... Is that what the TARDIS does?

(now I'm scared... my mum does that.... as a job... she really does.... )

....thats a real job ???

The 23rd of June is a Saturday - is there something Whovian on at just past 8 o'clock that evening? Just a thought.

" likewise with the Doctor's Big Bro - whoever gets voted out gets snuffed"

Apart from killing in reality TV being the first ever plot in the first ever (as far as I know) book to use the reality TV plot (from the '40s I think) isn't the above very similar to a Judge Dread sub plot?

If anyone's interested, the UNIT password's changed to, yep you've guessed it, badwolf.

Aye, but when you use it the login still say s'' in it - someone hasn't got any quality control on their website code have they?

I see on another site reference to DWM confirming Cybermen in Series 2.
Woo! I always preferred them to daleks anyway.

Oh, wait a minute, favourite Who monster is nearly as good a way to start a flame war as favourite Doctor. Oh well. Suffice it to say *I* am pleased if this is true!

I thought all those spoilers about anne robinson, big brother and trinny and susannah were a joke.

Today I find out they are true - eek.

I REALLY hope the Bad Wolf thing is something worth waiting for or I will be waiting for RTD with a rolling pin

When Anne Robinson was on Room 101, she confined the whole of Wales to the bin. It's nice to think that BBC Wales get their own back.

Killing off the unsuccessful contestants has been done in "Sliders" as well.

Loved the trailer for next week, "W-e h-a-v-e b-e-e-n d-i-s-c-o-v-e-r-e-d" even my son jumped when he saw all the Daleks.

Is there a seperate thread for Bad Wolf guesses?

I would go for Anne Robinson, but for the fact that Rose has "already met" the bad wolf.

So I'm going for Rose's mother.
