In the absence of anything remotely interesting from yours truly, have some links:

Jennifer 8. Lee: Who was General Tso?: Amusing and oddly fascinating lecture on Chinese food in America. I must admit, I always did kind of wonder who the heck General Tso was and why he had a chicken dish named after him. And, damn it, now I'm hungry...

I like the description of a Dalek as Hitler in a trash can with a gun. :)
ReplyDeleteThat one made me laugh out loud (and get a funny look from one of my officemates).
ReplyDeleteIt's odd that they didn't mention killing the Cybermen with gold in the newest series. Let's just hope he doesn't get caught in a battle with Cybermen and Werewolves. "Oh sh*it! Should I put gold or silver bullets in my gun?"
JH: It's very apt, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteCaptain C: The new alternate-universe Cybermen probably don't have the gold vulnerability, doubtless because someone realized it was a bit silly.
Funny you should mention the bullet thing, though... There's a wonderful scene in a Seventh Doctor episode where the Brigadier points out all the cool ammunition he's brought, just to be prepared. "Armor-piercing rounds. Go through a Dalek. Gold bullets for you-know-know..." The Doctor asks him if he's got any silver bullets, and he just turns around and barks, "Lieutenant! Silver bullets. Got any?" And later in the episode, when it becomes necessary, sure enough, he's got silver bullets. See, UNIT thinks of these things!
(And this is a great example of why I love the Brigadier. :))
You mean the Cybermen learned and evolved, just like the Daleks? Lord help us!
ReplyDeleteThey Cybermen have actually changed a lot over the years. Visually, they've changed much more than the Daleks.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the alternate universe versions, technically, aren't in the same line of evolution.
