And sometimes, a villain who's supposed to appear once and then never be seen again catches fire and becomes the all-time great arch-nemesis. More »

This is our new favorite piece of fan-art ever. The Doctor faces off against Darth Vader, and uses his sonic screwdriver to go all "cortosis blade" on Vader's lightsaber. Now we want to know if psychic paper is more powerful than the Jedi mind trick. Kudos to artist K.K. Jordan for capturing the look of both universes so well. [K.K. Jordan via Bonniegrrl] More »

Everything about Martyn Crofts' Dalek impersonation defies belief, even more than the first time we saw it. The fact that he wears a glitter-covered saucepan on his head, for example. And the fact that the rest of his Dalek "costume" consists of a nice gunmetal-colored suit with some Dalek knobs glued onto it. But then there's his rap song about how the Daleks just want you to "shake your stuff," complete with a little Dalek dance routine. Honestly, I'm not sure that Davros would approve. More »

How far would you go to meet the creators and star of BBC's Sherlock? When Steven Moffat and Benedict Cumberbatch came to town the other night, the line stretched down and around a city block.

After CalTech pranksters adorned MIT with a runaway TARDIS a while back, it was only inevitable the Daleks would show up. And appear they did last week, atop MIT's Stata Center — a lightning rod for pranks — which houses the university's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Check out the below photos to see just how darn inconvenient it was to lug the Dalek up there. It was probably yapping "exterminate this" and "exterminate that" the entire way.
