Waiter! Waiter! Bring me more The Daleks Chase Walter the Worm please!

There are very few pieces of Doctor Who media that I would call an "artistic masterpiece", Blink and Heaven Sent come to mind as examples, but I would say The Daleks Chase Walter the Worm join, or dare I say even surpass this upper echelon of art.

While the simplistic presentation might imply a straightforward and overt story, The Daleks Chase Walter the Worm is anything but. Our hero Walter the Worm is being chased by the three evil stepdaleks, as Walter is running away, they have what at first glance appears to be a scared expression on their face, but what I believe is actually an expression of excitement. What Walter is trying to express to the audience is that even when faced with dangerous foes and trapped in a life-threatening situation, one must endeavour to always maintain a positive outlook on life.

Next I will discuss the environmental storytelling of The Daleks Chase Walter the Worm. The first thing everyone will notice when they begin watching The Daleks Chase Walter the Worm is the lack of sound, this indicates two possibilities. The first possibility is that Walter is deaf and thus just as they are deprived of sound, so are we. The second possibility is that this world in which The Daleks Chase Walter the Worm is set on lacks sound at all, how this is possible is never elaborated on, the writer clearly leaving the reason open-ended in order to give the viewers something to think and discuss on. Another key aspect of environmental storytelling is the ever-smiling sun high in the sky. Even while Walter is facing certain death at the hands of the Daleks, the sun is still smiling, this indicates to me that the sun is sadistic and enjoys the suffering of those below it. The sun in combination with the possibility of the world being a soundless place shows that Walter's world is truly a cruel and inhospitable place, which reinforces Walter's strength and moral character and Walter always remains positive even when faced with such cruelty. If I may be so bold, I would say the environmental storytelling of The Daleks Chase Walter the Worm would rival that of beloved video game developer FromSoftware.

The Daleks Chase Walter the Worm really speaks to my soul, and I feel as if I am a better person for having watched it, this is a must watch experience.

I don’t think anyone understands the complexity of Walter the worm being chased by the daleks

it starts off with a worm named Walter being in a field clearly he enjoyed it and lived there feeling rejuvenated then suddenly he is on the run he’s up rooted from his home cause the daleks are coming

and the daleks have been after this worm for YEARS they finally found him Walter says goodbye to his worm wife Wanda and takes off sadly the daleks find Wanda and kill her brutally tears in his eyes Walter slithers as hard as he can to get away over the hills and far away he’s a million miles from LA but he’s making good distance the 3 daleks chase him too shouting there catchphrase exfoliate or whatever they say and then suddenly CLIFHANGER did Walter make it to la did the daleks take him it’s up to your imagination to decide as this never got a sequel I cry every time I watch this cause it’s basically as huge as torchwood was and that also ended on a cliffhanger sad times

When does a Franchise jump the shark? That's a question that interests me every time something new or bizarre is coming out from a beloved IP. Take the Holiday Special from Star Wars for instance, it's a modern Art Masterpiece with surrealism that would even make Salvador Dalí blush!

The Story of this Piece of Media is simple: We see the Daleks, one of Who's darkest and goofiest Villain ever, chase an innocent (or is he?) Worm, named Walter the Worm. Very simple, almost too simple one would you say, but actually the more you think about it, the more you should see it for yourself. Because while Art is subjective, there is no “Objective” and yet this Piece of Media masters one Thing, which is fairly rare for ANY Piece of Media: That being seen and interpreted by multiple People.

I have never seen a Movie, a Show, a Game, or even a Book getting the Talk of the Town as much as this does and I totally get why.

The Gif about Daleks chasing a Worm inspires us to explore Areas of our Lives that we didn't think existed. It tickles a certain Part of your Brain that makes you go "Is this better than 2012 Lorax?" and while not as quite as good as this Masterpiece, it's VERY VERY close.

For me Doctor Who is easily my favorite Universe in all Fiction, because it has so much to offer, most of its Spin-Offs while connected can be enjoyed on their own terms, which is refreshing after countless heavily connected Spin-Offs from other Things.

Of course there is a Discussion to be had for only having Daleks and not "Doctor Who" in it. "Doctor Who" as they are known since The War Machines is a silly old Alien with a 60s Police Box travelling through Time and Space. They visited Planets such as Vortis and Vortis again, which is the Planet of the Web Planet, which is one of the finest Piece of anything I have ever experienced in my Life.

"But does that make sense?" I heard you ask.. and well does a David Lynch Movie make sense? I mean sort of, maybe, if you interpret it to make it sense, is it supposed to make sense? I don't know! Perhaps it is, or perhaps it doesn't matter either way, as Poet Tom Baker said in the Indie Production Day of the Doctor.

It's very hard for a Piece of anything to engage you this much, let alone make you question what even is "Art". For example, I am sure you have heard of that Art Piece with the Banana. A Banana stuck on the World. And while simple, a lot and I mean A LOT of People got angry because of that. "This is not Art", they say while watching the newest Episode of perfectly articulated Commercials to get you buy a Chocolate Ring or even a Fish. And those I say: "Is there a Way to truly define Art? Does Art have to be a Motion Picture? Why can't it be just a Banana stuck on the Wall?"

Stories are complicated, you know Biopics? They say they are based on real World Events when it's barely the Case, most of them almost feel like they have a Checklist, is it really artistic making a Movie about somebody's Real Life? Maybe. I mean I'm not There exist, which has plenty of People playing Bob Dylan.

This does bring out an important Question: "Why is there no Morbius Two?" And to I answer: Matt Smith got busy! Because they couldn't make another Adventure set in the Sony Universe with Morbius if it doesn't have Matt Smith.

Did you know that "Nosferatu", the Original, almost went missing? Yes it's true, nowadays unbelievable after he got famous on the Hit-Show SpongeBob Squarepants, but since this was basically Dracula all but in Name, the Stoker Estate sued them and wanted them to burn all the Copies. Thankfully it survived, you know what else I wished survived? Doctor Who The Highlanders Episode 2!

I wonder what William Hartnell would have thought about all this..

Oh yeah The Daleks chase Walter the worm was the Review Topic, wasn't it? UHHH i don't know 11/10? It doesn't have McGann, Gomez or even Faction Paradox, so it's not a 13/10, sorry!!

Truly peak fiction.

Haha, silly worm

Much ink has been spilled over The Daleks Chase Walter the Worm. How are we to reconcile these vastly opposing viewpoints on Adam Hargreaves' seminal webcast? To some Walter appears as a fabled stand-in for the masses; how they, the majority, are constantly pursued by the small minority who demand that they succumb to their demands. To others, Walter is that minority, who must be exterminated for his failure to conform to the established societal norms which surround him. Little, however, has been said of the metatextual elements of the work. I posit here a dialectic through which this duality outlined above demonstrates the synthesised truth of Walter and his pursuing exterminators.

Almost since its inception Doctor Who has been a franchise work which belongs as much to its audience as it does to its creators. The series is most often attributed to a small handful of producers and writers (most notably Verity Lambert, Sydney Newman, C. E. Webber, and Donald Wilson among others), however its true constitution results from the vast array of changes and inclusions which succeeding staff have made to the program. It is therefore often the case that works are published in the whoniverse which take a chance to reflect upon this developmental history but aesthetically and culturally. Consider the manner in which the Season 6 serial The Mind Robber interrogates what form of fiction the show takes, or how the Monthly Range Audio Drama Scherzo investigates what the franchise can possibly be beyond the boundaries of that original form.¹ The Daleks Chase Walter the Worm is one of these metafictional works; laser focused on the ouroboric nature of the franchise's relationship with fandom, and of that fandom's relationship with the franchise.

The presence of the Daleks, therefore, is no mere coincidence. Terry Nation's murderous cyborgs, afterall, represent possibly the first of many great intrusions with which a succeeding creative has fundamentally altered the fabric of the Doctor Who franchise from its previously established norm. They were the bug-eyed monsters which Sydney Newman wished to avoid at all costs, and which Donald Wilson attempted to dissuade Verity Lambert from broadcasting. Through the Daleks' abrasive shouts of "Exterminate", Terry Nation boldly proclaimed that the show's direction was gravely misguided. In doing so he cemented himself as one of the first great critics of the show who would simultaneously bring about the very changes which he sought. So too do the Daleks in the story shout at Walter, telling him to cease being what he is, to change. And upon first inspection Walter does not seem to heed these pleas; running away from them instead. Now certainly he does not voice a response, but I posit that his movement is his response. Walter is not running away from the Daleks, but running towards some new place. And the Daleks in turn respond to this forward movement. Much as the Daleks chase Walter the Worm so too does Walter the Worm lead the Daleks.

This is the cycle of change and regeneration which The Daleks Chase Walter the Worm asks viewers to reflect upon. And it is at this point that it becomes apparent why this webcast takes the form that it does. Through presenting audiences with an endlessly looped sequence of chase and escort they may be allowed to take their time and think upon both what they would want from the franchise, and what the franchise would desire to show them. You can see, therefore, that to some extent it does not specifically matter what part of the Doctor Who community Walter and the Daleks respectively stand in for. They each encompass the whole of that community, and most pertinently the interaction between its disparate components. This looping dialogue is centered by Adam Hargreaves because it is, perhaps, the very core essence of the Doctor Who franchise itself. Doctor Who shall always remain a series which is as much owned by, as it is created by, its fandom. In a never-ending semiotic loop of poiesis and esthesis.

In this life we live, we ask many questions. We want to know. Always. Humanity is in a dire, constant need of knowledge. Why? Are we just greedy? Is it an addiction? Why do we have sayings like “curiosity killed the cat” even though we very well know that at every waking moment of our lives we are those very curious cats. Do we want to be killed? Do we want to be scared? Do we like risks? Oh, there I’m doing it. I am the cat.

“What kind of ridiculous intro is that?” I hear you asking. Which you shouldn’t. Questions are dangerous. Knowledge is dangerous.

I would like to be happy. Wouldn’t you? And I was happy. When I was young and unknowing. When there was only the small world of growing up in which everything seemed so big. I didn’t know about war, about discrimination, about murderers and r****ts. I didn’t know about anything! And I was so, so happy. Every day there was something new to learn, always, the smallest things would bring such overflowing joys with them. So curious. Everything seemed possible. Like a worm, for example, that could be cut in two, and then live forth as two beings! What a wonderful thing! The wonders of this world were astounding.

And so one day I was on rollerblades. I did that relatively often, at least compared to now. I crouched down. I saw a worm. It wriggled around on the pavement, leading its worm life. It might have been happy, because it didn’t know what was about to come. Or maybe it didn’t know what happiness was even. There was a creature looming over it, a child. A human. Such monsters those were. Not that the worm knew. It didn’t know anything. So it must have been happy, right? The child didn’t know anything either, until it did. It remembered knowledge. And it savagely started to cut into the flesh of the worm with the wheels on its feet. It cut and cut, like a rough pizza cutter on a jelly finger. Until the pink wriggler wriggled on the pavement no more, but lay. In two pieces. And the child watched. Waited. The worm didn’t know what it was waiting for. The worm didn’t know why the creature committed the horrible, savage act of cruelty. The worm didn’t know anything. Because it was dead. My mum called, and so I stood up, and skated away on the rollerblades, its wheels drenched in the crushed remains of the poor, unknowing, unliving worm. And still, I didn’t know anything.

We know that curiosity kills cats, but have you ever thought of the curiosity that makes the cat kill? The mouse, or the bird that it catches in its claws, curious as to what might happen. With only death as its consequences.

The worm might have very well been on the other side of this conundrum. It is greedy too, it wants to drink. Is that greed? Maybe it’s just survival. But above all, it is curiousity. It’s been above the ground many times when it’s been raining, though now it wants to know how it is when it is not. Why has mother worm told it to only go and dig up the earth above whenever it feels there is water falling from the sky? It needs to know, no- It doesn’t need to know. Not at all. But it wants to. It doesn’t know what good it would do, neither what it will do once it’s there, but still; there could be something good. Maybe there’s actually more water when it’s not raining, and nobody has found out because they never looked! But if there isn’t, it will have been good to see anyways, so that it at least knows that it isn’t there. Maybe it will plant a flag upon the surface once it has reached the destination. Though it doesn’t know why it would do that, because it doesn’t actually know anything.

We could be contend! We could be happy! We could just accept life, and for those of us who live in pretty alright circumstances, we could just be happy. Happiness through acceptance. Does it make life better for you to know that you are just a concoction of molecules that thinks it is alive? No! Then why did you search it up? Why did you want to know? Oh, don’t give me that “for science, for medicine, if we know how we work we can live longer” (imagine that sentence in a whatever you find to be a very annoying tone of voice), no, why do you want to know? Because you’re not gonna cure cancer with that knowledge, you know that as well as everyone. So why do you want to know. I’m talking to you, stupid writer of this idiotic text, because I know that you know that I know that it’s useless for what you specifically want to do. You don’t need that information. Why are you asking a question right now?

Maybe it’s Human Nature™ to want knowledge. It’s our programming. To want. Always just want want want more and more and more until you burst at the seams with things you don’t actually want. Because it is exactly because you don’t know. You don’t know what you want with your meaningless mortal existence. You don’t know anything. So you try to look for an answer. Subconsciously you want to know, know more, look things up, learn more stuff, in the faint hope that the solution to this impossible, empty conundrum that is life will be found, will help you solve the puzzle of everything that exists, before that very thing makes that it’s too late. Or maybe you give up and make up the answer yourself. Knowledge is dangerous. Maybe you don’t want to know.

The worm has decided. It is taking a flag with it, and has a rucksack with things that might come in handy. It doesn’t know how this rainless world might be, so it has to come prepared. It says: “Bye mom, I’ll be back soon!” and before its mother can call “Walter? What in wormheaven’s sake are you doing!” back to it, it has started digging upwards.

Some people don’t know anything. And they are happy for it. They don’t need to know. They believe. For example, they believe that they are right. That they don’t need to think, that looking for knowledge isn’t necessary because they already know everything. They don’t know anything. They are miserable.

Some people don’t know anything. And they are happy for it. They don’t need to know. They ignore. For example, they ignore people who believe that they are right committing atrocities, because the people who believe that they are right don’t like being told that they are not. So when someone who knows that they don’t know anything comes along, it doesn’t fit. Doesn’t work. “If they don’t know anything, they must be stupid, or just don’t know what I know!” But they know. The ones who think they know nothing. They know infinitely more. Until they don’t know anything anymore. Because the cat has snatched at the worm, and it’s killed them both. And only the Daleks remain victorious. That’s what they ignore. That’s easy. So they smile brightly. They’re just happy.

Walter the Worm has gotten to the surface. It’s dry. Walter looks around and about. No water, good to know for sure, that. It is beautiful when it isn’t raining. Walter is glad it came. Walter takes the flag from its bag, and looks for the perfect place to plant it in the ground. One small wriggle for this worm, but a- Then Walter hears a sound. A bone chilling, evil clunking, and is that rolling? Walter looks around and about again. There it is. A curious thing that Walter has never seen before in its worm life. What a wonderful thing! The wonders of this world were astounding. “EXTERMINATE” Said the thing.

Sometimes cats fight. That’s okay. That happens. Sometimes they snatch at worms. Sometimes they are the worms. Don’t ask me how that works. And sometimes they kill a bird. And that’s horribly sad. But cats aren’t evil. Cats are the perfect creatures if you ask me. Don’t you think so too? That for all their mistakes, they are good. Good after all.

Walter dropped his flag, and ran. At least, as far as a worm could. The sun watched, and smiled. Because the sun was happy.

And even though it was scared, and felt awful in many ways, maybe Walter the Worm was happy too.

Walter the worm (walter the worm) is a sentient worm, a side character present in the mr men and little miss series of books, these little twenty page pamphlet weird things that you probably read when you were young. My favorite was mr tickle but I don’t remember walter the worm at all. His impact on his own series is ultimately minimal, despite the various mr men and little miss that exist. Of course, mr men and little miss as a series is the ultimate form of gender essentialism in a piece of media, systematically reducing people down to singular traits by which they are identifiable. Walter the Worm is related to a series of books inherently based upon simple stereotypes, stereotypes which are communicated to children. The books by their pedestrian nature and inability to teach children the important concept of nuance are a part of the cultural stagnancy at the heart of the world today. As such, walter the worm (walter the worm) is a problematic character in today’s culture. 

With the inherent rise of politicism at the center of the culture war existing today in america, the concept of the book ban is a common one. The restricting of information by a higher authority is a controversial concept, mostly due to it being immoral, but also because some idiots like doing it. Common Book bans include ones involving LGBT topics, positive depictions of diversity, and books that are sexual in nature. Also captain underpants is on the side of the woke liberals, being one of the most banned depictions of a character in children’s literature . you know who’s ass hasn’t been banned one time by the conservative elite? Walter the goddamn worm 

In times of trouble and political upheaval, where is walter the worm to help us? He remains a figure of empty promises, a barely remembered icon of a series that remains essentialist in it’s views of not only gender but other political matters such as socioeconomic status. Like listen to these books. What (beyond gender) is the feasible difference between mr happy and little miss sunshine? Little miss sunshine for the record is not a literal sun in any sense, and thus her name is metaphorical for her happy mood. There is nothing interesting or unique about little miss sunshine other than her gender. Any actual personality traits of these figures are relegated to men , and reductive depictions of men at that. Look at mr strong, mr bump, mr grumpy. The mr men books are teaching a message of toxic masculinity and gender norms to children that would be perfectly well served without them. Listen to this little miss stuff. Little miss princess . little miss christmas. These aren’t even emotions at this point, just pretty little boxes that can be ticked off to appease women and keep them contained in their patriarchal boxes. Not true representation of femininity but an half-hearted idea of it. Where is Mx undefinable ? adam hargreaves . come on. Tell me. Where is mx ambiguous? You are but a pawn of the DEI haters that ruin america.  but who are the haters of diversity? Who despises equity and inclusion more than any other? 

the idea of a doctor who crossover with a series like this in today’s era of MCU style interconnectivity seems inevitable . the daleks, (daleks) created by terry nation in 1963, were the central impetus for dr who’s success as a program. These analogies for nazism are elon musk’s best buddies , and have been giving dr woke a hard time since 1963. Dr who is implicitly positioned against racism by the text of their work, since the very beginning. Opposing the daleks however is dr who’s first woke act. Witness dr who’s behavior in the first doctor who story, an unearthly child. The man immediately resorts to insulting native americans and arabs, and nearly bludgeons someone to death with a rock. Before he meets the daleks (daleks) he endangers two school teachers (educators) and a small child by sabotaging a fluid link on his own vehicle and forcing them out into the wilderness for his own bemusement. It is the daleks which radicalize dr who into performing as a hero for the first time, even if it is only for his own benefit. 

Of course , one could argue that in the series’ narrative, Jo Martin was busy hero-ing long before Hartnell, and as a (space transgender) black woman, she is subject to Kimberle Crenshaw’s idea of intersectionality, the idea that marginalized identities can intersect and inflict minorities who fit more than one category of minority with far more extreme repercussions  than people who identify as one minority. Jo Martin, as an earlier incarnation, possibly eskews this entire argument of heroism, of dr who being radicalized by the dalek mob. but her own status as a hero is a retroactive one. She is a recent invention, a character of the late 2010s and who is only now receiving proper focus in the 2020s. Jo Martin is a new version of the doctor, and while she retroactively fits in Hartnell's pattern as an abrasive figure, she is perhaps the most modernist interpretation of dr who in general. A queer (i’d say there’s no textual evidence for this but come on) black woman who is not afraid to fight the powers that be, time lords and daleks alike. A woman unafraid of utilizing force. In the new Trump era, this is more meaningful than ever. And which doctor who incarnations don’t have a official doctor who crossover mr men and little miss book? Oh yeah. Jo Martin, and her nearly as modernist compatriot, Ncuti Gatwa. The corporate synergy crossover has conveniently forgotten to include the queer incarnations of color . this is pure wickedness. Adam hargreaves and his patsy walter the worm must be stopped . 

Why then, are the Daleks chasing (chasing) Walter the Worm? He is as emblematic of their own identity as any other. It is a contradiction (and as we all know, this is a series made of those very contradictions). Do they view him as an ally of the doctor, their nemesis? I find this unlikely. These books are famous for sanitizing nuance. Does Dr. Four analyze the horrors of World War Two and the creation of Nazism in “Dr. Four Genesis?!” Does Dr. Eight make out with his woke friend fitz and say he isn’t a man in Dr. Eight interference part two the hour of the geek? Does dr. thirteen talk about periods and make out with a muslim woman? I think not. 

The end point of nazism, the true end point of evil in any of it’s forms is an inability to recognize humanity in any form. Fascists turn on eachother without a thought. They think all others than themselves can be thrown under the bus with no repercussion, for they lost their souls when they consigned themselves to an idealology of evil. Robert shearman supposes in his 2005 television classic Dalek (dalek) that if a dalek was left unimpeded it would turn on the other daleks until there was only one thing alive in the universe. The daleks are incapable of recognizing an allyship of any form. The sanitized non-woke dr who’s that adam hargreaves and walter the worm have so insidiously created are still their enemy. And so is walter the worm. Because hatred only abets more hatred. Evil cannot withstand it’s own shadow. 

I am a horrible completionist.

This is one of the first things anyone who meets me will learn - I try to do everything. As a kid, I wanted to try every sport, win every competition, learn everything there was to know about the world - it's the ADHD, as I have now realised. It is, generally speaking, not a healthy way to live your life, and is something I have made great strides in changing about myself (though, the chronic fatigue did most of the work for me, if we're being honest). But, there is one stubborn shred of completionism left, and it will not let go - I have decided, ultimately, that as I cannot make it go anywhere, I may as well let it make itself at home.

That home is here. Welcome to my TARDIS.guide page, where I can quite literally track my progress in doing the impossible - I'm going to do all of doctor who! As Doctor Who very quickly spreads, like a sort of fungus, to encompass anything and everything in it's vicinity, calling this a 'herculean' task is an understatement. Perhaps now, finally, through this one indulgence, I can fulfill that childhood need to do everything.

Including, apparently, a ten second long clip of a worm being chased by some Daleks.

Now, at this point you must be wondering - why is ze still writing this. Where is this going. This feels more like an autobiography than a review. Well, the truth is, I have to write this! It's my homework! To scratch that horrible completionist itch, I asked Shauny to pretty please add this video (which he had initially not added because it is, quite literally, three Daleks chasing a worm and nothing else. For ten seconds). He kindly did this (super-fast, I might add!) upon my request, and then said, and I quote, "I want you to write a 200 word review of this masterpiece now". Well, after he so kindly accquiesced to my insanity, it seemed the least I could do.

So, without further ado... an actual honest to gd review of 'The Daleks Chase Walter the Worm'!

Although only ten seconds long, this video is a masterpiece in storytelling, visual dynamics, and expression. The story itself is simple: a worm, soon to become known to all true Doctor Who fans as a dear friend who makes an appearance in many a Dr. Men story, is being chased by three Daleks.

I would like to take a moment, if you will, to admire the composition - the shape of the fields, layered curves at sloping angles, create a wonderful impression of soft rolling hills, the subdued natural greens of the landscape and of Walter marred only by the harsh, unnaturally metallic Daleks. This creates a statement: the Daleks are out of place. They come in here with their great comic-bubble "EXTERMINATE!"s and their, their, their bumps, they harass the natives - they aren't supposed to be there. The story that is told through this composition and the uncannily smooth movements of the great metal beasts is one of imperialism, of colonialism, of everything that nature fears about man.

Walter is a victim of nazi oppression, so typically British - and who is helping him as he wriggles away, terrified, the emotion clear on his simply-drawn face? No one. Everyone says they would have helped hide the Jews, but they forget that it was ordinary people, people like them, who voted the nazis in - and it is ordinary people who are allowing the destruction of nature now. Who are feeding into the consumerist culture carefully curated by people who don't care about the damage they're causing, so long as they get rich. Who cares if we lose the rainforests so long as we can keep pulping out billions of shitty notebooks, right? Who cares if we don't have a planet to watch brilliant works of art like this on in a decade, if people are dying from wildfires and floods right now, as you are reading this, because, what, shrimp Jesus and being able to talk to simulations of popular characters was more important than human suffering???

Billionaire agendas funding industries like oil and AI are destroying our world and holding out a twelve-fingered hand, and you're eating right out of it's blurry palm! This is the palm of the Corporate! This is the palm of the 1% who take your jobs and stop you from getting healthcare and leave people to freeze to death to increase their bottom line and burn the planet!! If you really cared, if you really want to make a difference... you would help the worm.

Stop pumping money into Elon Musk's fortieth yacht and get involved in your local communities, fight back with kindness and solidarity, stand up when you see people threatened... don't be the sun, smiling on like nothing's happening. Ignorance is bliss, but you can't be ignorant forever. Not when a worm's life is in danger.

The lack of detail of the art allows the true horror the worm is experiencing to come through in an endless cycle, as the video is on a loop... that face, that face should haunt your nightmares. Contrasted with the playful, childish background of the smiling sun and the cartoon word bubbles of hate the Daleks spew, this video is nothing short of a masterpiece.

5/5

A more in-depth discussion took place in the discord while I was writing this review about the true nature and intent of the sun, smiling... malignant, ambivalent with a job to do, a bystander who did nothing to help Walter, or an innocent child with no understanding of the situation? For more conversations like this, please join the discord! Thank you to Sef, Owen, Delia, and everyone else who stopped me from going too far. This is surely a reasonable response to a ten second video of some daleks chasing a worm across a field.
