Emily's Lists: Dalek Appreciation Day

Posted by Emily Sizemore
 
Today, August eighth, is Dalek Appreciation Day, so to celebrate I have come up with………

Six Reasons Why Daleks Are Awesome

1. They are immortal
No matter how many time the Daleks have been blown up, throw into the void, erased from time, etc. they always managed to come back. So the Doctor blew up all the Timelords and all the Daleks, but one somehow makes it. Then the one that made it self-destructs itself, but then there are thousands more that just show up out if nowhere?

2. They make the Doctor angry
Don't we all just love it when the Doctor gets angry? And nothing makes him angrier than the Daleks. Daleks are the only creature that the Doctor will kill with no remorse, so they bring out a different side of the Doctor. A side so scary that we want all the Daleks to be blown up just so the evil side of the Doctor will go away.

3. They have made asking for explanations so much more fun
You can either say 'Please explain that to me' or 'Explain, Explain, Explain!' But only if you hold out the syllables like a Dalek would, because otherwise you just sound overly eager.

4. They have been there since the beginning
You can write an essay on how each Doctor deals with the Daleks! Sylvester McCoy will blow up the Daleks with Nitro Nine Ace is NOT carrying, but Matt Smith will blow them up with missiles!

5. They have an awesome creator
Davros is awesome. On a scale of one to ten, he is a Gamma ray. For those who don't talk nerd speak that's a ten point five

6. They make a good insult
If you ever need to insult someone, just call them a Dalek. They most likely won't get it and won't realize that you just called them the worst thing imaginable. 


So there are six reasons why Daleks are awesome. Are there more? Yes. Would I bore you to tears telling you each one? Also a yes. If you come up with any brilliant ones, please post them in the comments.
