I love Foxtrot. <3

[crinos]

I always pictured the Daleks as Sinestro corps myself. Even gave them their own Oath.

"Daleks are the race supreme!
Your race will die with anguished screams!
Your end is near, accept your fate,
Sinestro corps: EXTERMINATE!"

[leikomgwtfbbq]

That's brilliant!

I'd love to see something like that on Doctor Who proper. XD

[darkknightjrk]

Strut your stuff, Sinestro. Let your haters be your motivators. :D

I've always wondered: Does Andy actually like the taste of her own cooking or is she so determined to cook "healthy" that she chokes it down just so the rest of the family won't have an excuse not to?

I guess the secondary question is: does she have a lima bean fetish?

[darkblade]

You know ten years ago things wouldn't have been as easily explained as being a "fetish".

[cleome45]

I just want to know why the rest of the family doesn't learn to cook. What a bunch of self-centered whiners.

[mcity]

They've tried. It usually doesn't end well. And Andy can cook decent food when she wants to, hence the questions here.

I never questioned it- when I was in elementary school and also really liked Foxtrot, my parents were continually deciding that what we really needed for dinner tonight was some sort of bizarre vegetarian dish that always, to me, smelled like death and tasted worse. They never understood what I was complaining about. Clearly, kid!me figured, something happened to some grown-ups (Andy, my parents), that made them incapable of noticing when food was totally gross. Who knew why, it was just one of those things.

Oh I hate Daleks. Not because they're so scary and terrifying but because everyone *thinks* they're so scary and terrifying... and they're not. Giving them Red Lantern rings is a little better, but still.

[sinisterlink]

I don't know much about them, since I've never really been into Dr Who, but I like them just for the fact that they look like giant salt/pepper shakers and roll around wanting to kill everything. Plus I've had some interesting conversations with my mom because of them. Like the first time she saw the trailer for the Iron Man movie and at the end they do the Black Sabbath song part where it says, "I am Iron Man" in that distorted/electronic type voice, my mom was like, "He sounds like a Dalek." Lawl.

What's not scary about a race which views any and all forms of life which are not Dalek as something to be exterminated with extreme prejudice, and has the firepower to back up the threat?

[halialkers]

Indeed. The best way to make a real terrifying enemy for the Doctor Who crowd is to do a thinly-disguised homage to S&M Stirling's Domination of the Draka. Anti-America that genetically engineers regular Homo sapiens into a genetic slave class? With super-baboon troops? It'd both fit in and be Darker and Edgier.....

[sinisterlink]

I actually laughed out loud at the Sinestro one. Hmm...of the pics we've seen so far, I don't think Sinestro looks good in the white, but he looks a little bit better in that drawing.

And I'm going to have to show the Dalek one to my mom. She'll probably get a kick out of it, being a Dr. Who fan.

Nerd Alert!

[01d55]

1. Atrocitus, founder & leader of the Red Lantern corps, is out for revenge on the guardians for building the genocidal robots that killed his family.
2. Daleks are genocidal robots.
3. ???
THEREFORE
4. Daleks join Red Lantern Corps

Re: Nerd Alert!

[hyperactivator]

No!

Daleks are mutants in little tanks. Not robots.

I've used that exact same line with my kids. I wasn't an English major, but my mom is, and she did this to me all the time.

May and Can are two very different words. Learn it! Knowing is half the battle (GI-Joe *swoosh*)

[mcity]

My mom was an English teacher, and her insistence on "finished" over "done" drives me crazy. On the other hand, I talk gooder English than most people around here, so that's a plus.

[kirke_novak]

First of all - icon love. And fear. And loathing (and resentment)

Second of all - so is she a Grammar Nazi or a Femminazi? Or both?

[mcity]

She's just likes making "healthy" food, which tastes terrible. And she's an English major, so probably the former.

[birdofprey]

I LOVE your icon. I wonder what color ring Sue Sylvester would bear? Hahaha

[mcity]

Yellow, obviously.

[zordboy]

I hadn't noticed the racism points, but I think you're right. To be fair, wasn't there another survivor that followed the Doctor on the Titanic? The *second* old rich white guy? >_< And even Kylie had to commit suicide at some point. Gah! It took me years before I would let myself watch that special, and when I finally did, I saw that I'd guessed right, it *was* horrible.

And for all his bullshit -- and I think omnicidal maniacs are generally full of bullshit -- I agree with your family. Davros kind of had a valid point there. Even the Doctor acknowledged that in "The End of Time" with Wilfred -- "I don't kill. I got clever, and manipulated other people into killing themselves". And that's true. And just a little deplorable. But it's hard to be mad at him specifically when it seems to be the entire theme of the show.
