Individual Dalek resilience has historically been somewhat variable. Time War variants require serious firepower to take down (like Jack's one-shot special), while earlier models have been taken down by RPGs, or simply being pushed out of a first-floor loading bay. What made the things scary was their utterly inhuman appearance, their somewhat intolerant attitude towards non-Daleks and the fact that no matter how many you killed, more of them would keep coming.Reliant121 wrote:Additionally, they are virtually unstoppable by just about anything.

I'll admit, I'd never even heard of it (at least not to a degree that it stuck in my mind passed the moment) before coming here.Mikey wrote:I am absolutely dumbfounded by the number of people here who are unfamiliar with DW.
You can catch up on some of the relaunch stuff - the last three Doctors - on BBC America, and I highly recommend looking into some of the older stuff unless you have a complete intolerance for crappy FX no matter how good the story. As a fellow American, I recommend the Fourth Doctor - he seems to speak most to the american mindset.Lighthawk wrote:I'll admit, I'd never even heard of it (at least not to a degree that it stuck in my mind passed the moment) before coming here.Mikey wrote:I am absolutely dumbfounded by the number of people here who are unfamiliar with DW.

If Netflix has it, I might give it a look. I don't really watch much tv anymore though, and from what I've gathered, there is a LOT of DW.Mikey wrote:You can catch up on some of the relaunch stuff - the last three Doctors - on BBC America, and I highly recommend looking into some of the older stuff unless you have a complete intolerance for crappy FX no matter how good the story.

More that they were treated as robots, incapable of acting outside their "programming", and therefore locked in a perpetual stalemate with their opponents.Lighthawk wrote:They go tinman when it rains?
Was that the arc in which Baker tricked Davros back into stasis? Forgive me, but it's been over 20 years since I've seen Fourth Doctor eps. Yeah, that was more a poor treatment of the Daleks. They were not, after all, robots.Captain Seafort wrote:More that they were treated as robots, incapable of acting outside their "programming", and therefore locked in a perpetual stalemate with their opponents.Lighthawk wrote:They go tinman when it rains?
Probably - it was the non-Genesis Fourth Doctor Dalek serial.Mikey wrote:Was that the arc in which Baker tricked Davros back into stasis?
