(31,849 posts)one morning last week, I overheard two older women talking about how "narcissitic" and "full of himself" President Obama is and "how 'super-sized' his ego is."
Then the guy behind the counter said, "You know ... anyone that runs for any national office HAS to be full of themselves and MUST have a super-sized ego, how else would anyone believe that they and they alone have the fix for everything that ails the country?"
One of the older women, nodded a little.
Then the kid said, "But the important thing is how they channel their ego ... remember, Lex Luther had super-powers just like Superman."

(12,693 posts)They get all excited and spin in circles at the mere mention of death and destruction, they think that Daleks are better than any other life form and believe that they and they alone should be the masters of all that exists. That, and a very limited vocabulary.

(17,863 posts)Randian Libertarians are Daleks. Know the difference. Of course since Cybermen are allergic to gold, I guess Republicans can't be Cybermen.

(18,775 posts)so yeah, you may be on to something. Or does that invoke Goddard's law?
(Terry) Nation grew up during World War II, and remembered the fear caused by German bombings. He consciously based the Daleks on the Nazis, conceiving the species as faceless, authoritarian figures dedicated to conquest and complete conformity.[60] The allusion is most obvious in the Dalek stories penned by Nation, in particular The Dalek Invasion of Earth (1964) and Genesis of the Daleks (1975)

(12,693 posts)DW was originally a kids' show with the idea of using a character who traveled through time to deliver a weekly history lesson.
At the time I was living in my grandmother's house which still had visible bomb damage, and the memory was still very real. The Daleks were if not directly representative of the Nazis, at least a metaphorical look at the end game of totalitarianism and racial superiority.

They are aliens that want to turn humans into the new food item at their intergalactic fast-food chain.
If you liked Dead Alive, then you should like Bad Taste.
(I know, this is not from Dr. Who, but repubs remind me of these intergalactic fast-food badguys much of the time and was the first thing the OP made me think of)

(101,318 posts)whose reptialian laugh may have been the basis for Anthony Hopkin's Hannibal Lecter.
Sil was a particularly vile creature by any standard, more so since a fault in his translation device made his voice sibilant, with an ululating laugh. Devoid of morality and dedicated to getting the cheapest price he could for Zeiton ore by any means, he also enjoyed the various tortures which passed for entertainment on Varos, taking particular delight in making the Sixth Doctor's companion Peri suffer a transformation into an avian creature. The Doctor interfered with Sil's plan and informed the Varosians of the true value of their natural resources, forcing Sil to concede to offer the true value of the Zeiton-7.
The Sixth Doctor and Peri encountered Sil once again on the planet Thoros Beta, where he was that time involved in arms dealing. At the end of the segment of evidence presented by the Valeyard in the Doctor's trial, it appeared that Sil was killed by a rampaging King Yrcanos. It later transpired that the evidence of the Matrix had been tampered with, so it is not clear whether Sil in fact survived.
