Moffat does not use the Daleks as a prejudice weapon against the disabled

September 14, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This post is a response and rebuttal to Alyson Macdonald’s heartfelt and well-intended Daleks and Disableism: Steven Moffat on Mental Illness. The episode being discussed is Asylum of the Daleks, which was the first episode in the new season 7. My summary; the Daleks are not a metaphor that suggests disabled people are evil or […]

August 2, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s well worth a watch. There’s always the fine line between spoilers and teasers and I think they have it right in this one. We know people get beat up – but that happens often. We know which baddies the Doctor and companions will be up against – but there are a lot of familiar faces.
