Doctor Who: The Stolen Plot Device

[matgb]

So, watched it last night, then went to the pub, then came back, and watched it again as a few points were bugging me. There now follows a poll, and that poll does contain spoilers.

[Poll #1213113]Overall, I enjoyed the show, but I enjoyed the penultimate show last season as well. This is Rusty's last ever finale, and I refer my honourable friends to the opinions expressed this time last year.

ETA: My friend the astrophysicist says: Basically, doing this with a planet will screw it up but he still enjoyed it.

Indiana Cribbins and the paintball of doom

"Nice try but they're Super!Space!Daleks so it won't work"

See, I thought it would've been a nice nod to original Who, if this did work! Of course, it would take everyone in the world having two paintball guns each and being a crack shot for it to have been any help, but it still would've been a nice stalling device.
*reminisces of daleks you could throw a blanket/scarf over or run up stairs to get away from*

Did BC do something along these lines in one of the two Dalek movies?

I like it when they do things like this, like in Dalek where it starts flying up the stairwell (OK, so we've seen this in OldWho too), etc.

It would be nice if they do get to blind one next week though.

I thought the guys in Torchwood were going to shoot the Daleks' eyes off - kind of like paintball, only more violent.

I thought of that too! The simple tactic against the fearsome threat, cf "give it a virus"

Well isn't it a big nod to the original series that Wilf tries to blind it and the line it comes back with is "My vision is unimpaired."

A nod to "My vision is impaired I cannot see."
