The next day, Harry meets his first baby, who he pokes in the stomach with a crutch, discovering its laugh button.Īsta wants Jay to apologize, and it's something else that doesn't go well. They fling insults at each other like "stupid" arguing over the cost of a postage stamp. Max doesn't believe him, so he morphs into a postal worker who had a tricycle accident. He's calling to tell Max that he saw the alien on the bus leaving town so he doesn't have to worry anymore. Harry calls Max as his friend named Elvis. Harry thinks the day cannot get any worse, but then he spots the alien drawing Liv made for Max posted all over town like wanted posters.Īs he ponders the nuisance that is Max, Harry recalls how difficult it was to learn to get this body to work. The day doesn't get any better than that.Īsta's dad gets no feeling from Harry at all. It's his first pelvic exam, and it doesn't go well. But when he wants to take a look at that nasty old thing (thinking it's a wart), he opens a woman's legs to something entirely different. Harry thinks he can graduate from med school in five minutes with the internet. Maybe Max is special and can see him differently than everyone else. Sheriff goes off on Max, but Liv treats him a little differently. Harry threatened to cut his head off, and Max ran out of the window.īen and Kate try coaxing Max out from under a nearby bench, while assuring passersby that Max is entirely normal there's nothing to see here.īen and Sheriff Mike argue the laws of physics in reference to their shared office space before Max announces he has the key suspect in Doctor Sam's murder - Harry because he's an alien. Of course, the first patient of his first day is Max. Sometimes, you have to find the haystack before you can find the needle in it, and Harry found his haystack. One can compare this kind of mentality to the show 'Star Trek', which has also been socially progressive.Harry is espousing the idiocy of humanity when a man taking a selfie falls over a cliff and lands midair. Even in 1963, 'Doctor Who' was very socially progressive. The show even uses the daleks as an example of why racism is bad. When he is disrespectful to people, it seems to be without thought of gender and more so of age. Regardless, in this second story of the show, the first Doctor gives women respect. However, the first Doctor may have simply gotten used to the cultures he was subjecting himself to - he may have even been going against his own beliefs so that he could seem to everyone as more human. More recently, in "Twice Upon A Time", the first Doctor is portrayed as being somewhat sexist. Does the physiological structure or the mentality of the being define a dalek as a dalek? This is one of the great questions of 'Doctor Who'.Īlthough there are expressions involving perceived differences between the sexes, it would appear to me that (in this story) such sentiments were placed in order to give a grander understanding of culture.
Davros once used cells from his own body to make new daleks. Who knows how this could effect their appearance. Not to mention that organisms outside of Skaro can be made into daleks.
I surmise that being encased in their armor may have greatly effected their evolution. I suspect, that in the very second story of the show, that the daleks were in a very early part of their evolution. Some daleks seem to appear like terrestrial octopodes, whereas at other times they appear much different (however, the possession of tentacles is very common throughout the show's history). We even see a grey dalek in the 2019 New Year's special "Resolution". The daleks have been described as green (and shown this way in "The Five Doctors") and sometimes seen as pink or very light brown. We also know that they were initially mutants on the planet Skaro meaning that they did not (even at first) all necessarily look a like. Does this not fit your understanding of dalek anatomy? This might be good! We know from later stories that the daleks are subject to great changes during their evolution over the many years of their existence. The version of the daleks in this story include a brief image of a very non-human, clawed hand. William Hartnell The Daleks' Physical Form
