Daleks and tactical voting (or not..)

What is it with the writers of Doctor Who and their curious obsession with Daleks? I'm all for recycling but this is beyond a joke! We've had mad ones, bad ones, sad ones, armies and solitary ones, human Daleks, uber Daleks, Daleks brought forward in time, Daleks gone backwards in time, Nazi-fighting camo-gear-wearing soldier Daleks, and now shiny primary coloured Daleks. The only type we haven't had yet...? Ones that stay bloody dead!


That having been said, I absolutely loved the recent 'Weeping Angels' scripts. Sumptuous dialogue. Fabulous one liners. Insane Doctor. And 'spoilers' galore. How wonderful it must be to be a part of that creative team. I can only dream of such heady heights.

I was fully prepared to loathe Matt Smith. After all, he isn't David Tennant, and that in itself is a punishable crime (or at least it should be). However, thanks to some fine acting, superb lines and a frankly fantastic introduction, I have to admit that he is shaping up to be a great doctor! And I - weak fool that I am  - am already falling in love with him.

On a more serious note I have just voted in the election. Ashamed to say that we actually have a BNP candidate on the Isle of Wight now. *sigh* There's never a Dalek when you need one...

I decided against tactical voting. Was that wrong? Labour can't possibly win on the island so perhaps I should have voted Liberal instead. Nervously awaiting the results.
