FIRST TIME WATCHING DOCTOR WHO! | 1x6 - Dalek | Reaction

[@AlexSeverinski]

"It's like an Artie-Dooty." Oh, Mary. It's about as far from an Artie-Dooty as one can get.

[@ninjabluefyre3815]

Does she still that's his real name?

[@joshuajoshua2732]

The Daleks first appeared on-screen in 1963 they were based on the german nazis trom World War II and are one of the Doctor's most oldest and deadliest enemies and one of the most iconic things of science fiction. The Daleks going on stairs was an ongoing joke for years until 1988 when they were finally capable of flight on stairs.

[@Shoomer88]

The Daleks now possess the largest collection of cute cat pictures in existence.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

The Daleks are the ones who taught me that all it takes is good writing to turn creatures made with low-budget effects into terrifying adversaries.

[@philipturner9087]

Back in 1963 when the Darleks first appeared they terrified every kid in the UK. The show went from almost being cancelled to the highest rated kids kids show in one word Exterminate . . .

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

"It's like an Artie Duty!" Yes, and later on he sets free. Becoming an Artie Duty Free.

[@MacTechG4]

This episode hits on two great levels… New fans of the franchise are more like Rose, curious, open minded, and not aware of the history between The Doctor and the Daleks… Old time Classic Whovians go through the following stages… 1; suspicion when we see the blue eyestalk light and it’s vaguely familiar shape… 2; utter terror when the ‘ear-lights’ illuminate and we hear the raspy Dalek voice say “DOC-TOR…?” And we realize The DALEKS ARE BACK!… Another bit of trivia, the Dalek ‘travel machine’ chassis sensors read the *exact* power level to instantly exterminate its target… the Dalek creature inside then *REDUCES THE POWER LEVEL* of the weapon by 20% to prolong the agony of the target.

[@7rollface]

The entire internet in 2012? 2012 was the year of Overly Attached Girlfriend, Gangnam Style, & Grumpy Cat. No wonder the Dalek changed its mind about hating everything.

[@rugrat0ne239]

There was a running joke in the fandom about Daleks being defeated by stairs, as all their architecture has ramps. Also a lot of jokes about whether the plunger was useful for anything. This dealt with both of these brilliantly.

[@benjames9158]

A dalek levitated in classic who

[@davidwebb4451]

​@@benjames9158At least three times. The first time was in a story from 1965 where a Dalek levitates up through a pile of sand (the sand helping to hide how it was really being raised). The other two times were in the mid 1980s with a Dalek actually chasing the Doctor's companion up a flight of stairs, like in this episode, in the second of those stories.

[@MacTechG4]

“Real Daleks don’t climb stairs… they level the building “

[@michaelgonzalez6295]

7:13 The Daleks captured and became a permanent part of British culture because their earliest stories were written as direct metaphors for World War II Germany: the fear of The Blitz, the fear of invasion upon the British Isles having seen what happened to the Continent, the Holocaust and the heroic struggle against a monolithic enemy.. Ihe first two stories came out less than 20 years after WWII and especially the second one "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" with scenes of Daleks rolling up and down the actual bridges of the London's Thames River and the old Battersea Power Station

[@leemitchell1717]

"Would you like a cup of tea" You don't know how accurately you predicted an entire future episode lol

[@grabtharshammer]

That was where the sound clip came from

[@theeditor8376]

Hold on, I'm missing something... which episode are we talking about?

This has to be the best reactor-show combination. I'm really enjoying these!

[@WolfHreda]

Van Statten looks more and more like a fictionalized Elon Musk with every passing day.

[@miriam8376]

Except Musk is less mature and even more selfish

[@jjkk1630]

Daleks debuted in late 1963 on the show's second ever serial, and are easily the most iconic villains in the history of Doctor Who. The 1975 Fourth Doctor story Genesis of the Daleks shows the story of their creation, though the Second Doctor stories The Power of the Daleks and The Evil of the Daleks from 1966 and 1967 remain the most gripping and well written Dalek stories in the show's history for me; the latter in particular gets a particular echo early on in the new series. As always, gonna continue holding out for Mary's classic series journey to happen eventually!

[@MrEntpdave]

You can find the episodes for Genesis of the Daleks. Although the Daleks first appear in season one in 1963, it isn’t until 1975 that they get a backstory. And, it’s dark. It was done on a very limited budget and to 1970s television standards, but it isn’t bad.

[@ArtisticMysticSoul]

Excellent episode. This was actually the first episode of any Doctor Who I ever saw, and it hooked me.

[@3DJapan]

"I just watched so something scary" And you follow it up with Daleks? The scariest thing ever??

[@rburton76]

For those familiar with Classic Doctor Who, it’s a bit of an “oh shit!” moment when the dalek first starts speaking.

[@QuisletEsq]

To be fair though, the title gives it away.

[@michaelgonzalez6295]

3:44 EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! (God I missed hearing that!) WHEE! CLASSIC WHO RETURNS! The Daleks were THE BAD ASSES of the old Doctor Who show as the most often appearing villains. The first episode Rose introduced another classic villain, The Nestine Consciousness, but they are small potatoes in the Whoniverse.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

3:05 Canoodling and snogging are pretty much the same thing.

[@noneya3635]

I will never get tired of hearing her say artee-dootee. Honestly just makes me smile every time.

[@quintuscrinis]

20:56 the beauty of (near unrestricted) time travel - you can go anywhere and look the same as you do in the present day.

[@_Robirb]

The first episode of this series literally showed up on my recommended and I just finished watching all the other episodes, I wasn’t expecting another episode to get uploaded today

[@nobodx]

cant wait for the empty child episode - still one of my favs

[@10thdoctor15]

The images of the Doctor throughout history in the first episode happen because he's a time traveller

[@DarqJestor]

I'd forgotten a lot of t his episode. Now I need to watch it again.

[@t.o.toonstubetwo.4138]

5:49 yes you see Daleks are a recurring Doctor Who enemy with them first appearing and one of the earliest shows.

[@MrGadfly772]

As you have heard the Daleks are the classic Doctor Who enemy. When they first appeared in the 60s they became almost as popular as the Doctor. I am so looking forward to all the adventures ahead and your reaction to them.

[@rexmundi2986]

R T Dooty 😂

[@shakezoola1114]

Remember in the first episode when the Doctor leaves, then comes back and says, "Oh did I mention? It also travels in time." I like to think he went off and had a few adventures on his own before he thought to come back and say that and that's how those photos exist. Otherwise things wouldn't make much sense to me as he seems pretty fresh out the oven when we first meet him so to speak.

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

That's what I thought, too. But it's wrong. The Doctor had those adventures *BEFORE* meeting Rose. He broke all the mirrors in the TARDIS after the regeneration, because he didn't want to think about who he was and what had happened. That's why the first time he sees himself in a mirror is at Jackie's apartment.

[@paulalexandredumasseauvan2357]

really enjoyed your reaction, thank you 👍☺

[@davesilkstone6912]

Unfortunately Mary has missed out on decades of history between the Doctor and the Daleks

[@noneya3635]

Honestly this episode makes up for that quite well in my opinion.

[@chazo1367]

Eh this episode is designed to not require it. The Classic stuff isn't really relevant as it's focused on the time war invented in the new series, so you don't really need a deep dive.

[@marklee6516]

This episode was oddly prophetic 😮

[@t.o.toonstubetwo.4138]

7:03 if you think that’s cool I recommend you watch the fourth Doctor Who because that actually has an episode where the doctor goes back in time and sees their version of Genesis where are you get to see their creator and their home planet.

[@SGlitz]

The biggest of the Big bads. Since 1964...

[@firefly24601]

LONG LIVE ARTY-DOOTY!!! 💜

[@williamberry9013]

Before Mary is hoping for something light. :)

[@Llanchlo]

Four fun episodes to warm up, Time to get serious,

[@Thessair]

A brilliant series 1 episode that really captures the menace of the Daleks, unlike some of the stories they feature in later. It does have that massive self-destruct plot hole, but it's not hard to dismiss. Chris is absolutely incredible in this one! The cameo by Blue Thunder (the helicopter) does yank me out of the episode, but it doesn't usually last long. That porn comment! 🤣

[@briancarlosgreen]

Spoilers!

[@space1999]

R2d2 was inspired by the dalek design

[@RedCaio]

more Doctor Who !!!! more more

[@Cinnamon_Shaey]

"The ultimate racial cleansing" fun fact in classic who the Daleks were actually somewhat compared to Hitler not really their first appearance, but a bit later on, there is a famous picture of some daleks raising their hands? Plungers? Up in the air, yes, the exact way ur thinking of

[@somerandomguy2073]

Well, yes, from the beginning. They were unambiguously created as an allegory. It was only 18 years after the end of the war, and their obsession with racial purity was there from day one. They wanted to kill all of the Thals because of (as Ian said) "an intense dislike of the unlike." They were always big on killing people that weren't "pure." They were sci-fi versions of the ideology most of the people involved in production had actively fought against.

[@nickpasch1019]

Issues with the volume, very low Who volume.

[@smashstuff86]

15:24 Well, I don't know about "regenerate"....

[@jdueck-w9y]

Please continue with The Star Treks. 🖖

[@quintuscrinis]

0:19 oh, umm. I'm sorry to say this really isn't the right episode to be watching. 🫣😅🫣
