Hypothetical answer to the Dalek problem.
Any species that considers itself superior to another has one (to some blatantly obvious) fatal dependency.
To most humans, we consider ourselves superior to animals because of our intelligence, but I have noticed, as of late, that this is primarily due to our dependency upon technology.
I’m going to stop channeling my inner-Dalek here for a second and say…
I don’t mean to seem asenine in saying this, but humans *do* consider themselves superior to other creatures. Yet, the food we eat, the creatures we kill for our food (those “lesser” creatures, animals, that is.), we would die without. We are dependent on the nature and, in essence, the planet we live on.
So, with the Daleks, I’d say “Take away the shell and whattya got? A squid in a bottle!”
*laughs*
it’s the truth, though.
The cybermen are just *asking* for a stone-solid thumping.
I’m a lifelong Whovian and if Gold is their weakness…
(I think I saw an episode where they found a way around that and I was actually somewhat relieved, lol)
Adaptability is the sign of a true warrior, which neither the Cybermen nor the Daleks has shown (or even believe3 in), that’s why Humanity has always defeated them.
I really RELLY enjoyed the episodes where Daleks (finally) adapted a way to survive outside of their automated shell(s) and take mental control of a human.
It REALLY stuck with me when that one paired with the Doctor’s Companion. (I forget if it was Rose or the next Lady) The mental convergence gave him a glimpse at human emotion and he died for it.
Later, My memory is a little spotty on it, but once they experienced the perspective of their “enemy” their entire perspective changed.
And while the rest of the Dalek army executed that “Traitor” for taking up the the ways of his Human, the Daleks committed strategic suicide, because to know one’s enemy so intimately is to ensure absolute victory and domination.
so-
(HAHA! SUCK IT DALEK NERFTARDS!)
Nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nah-nah!!!!!
(Neener Neener Neener Neener! ROTFL!)
