The magicians apprentice
Since I was chatting about Capaldi and his era as the Dr earlier its on my mind
Gonna watch a few episodes again starting with the magicians apprentice - And, as you would expect for an episode that featured Missy, the Daleks and two versions of Davros, it was an episode that wore its Doctor Who-ness on its sleeve
As well as being a twist on that old question of would you go back in time and kill Hitler as a baby, it was drawn from a famous scene from the seminal Genesis Of The Daleks when the Fourth Doctor asks Sarah Jane
"if someone... told you that that child would grow up to be totally evil... could you then kill that child?"
The story doesn't even try to hide its main influence, with the scene in question featuring in the episode itself.
Well... Would you kill that child ?
@Armchaircouch the child in question is..... Drum roll.... DAVROS
The dalek leader 😂😂
… I had to google them 😂 I’ve never seen Dr Who!! @ecksmc
@Armchaircouch well, the Dr saved davros as a child which lead him to becoming the dalek race and that started the long time-war between the timelords & daleks and basically ended Galifrey the DR's planet
oooh I see I see! …bummer
lol! :) @ecksmc
wtf no you’d get them a psychiatrist 😂 if it’s your own kid. @ecksmc
