I used to do it a lot and need to get back into it especially when I travel. I have a simple form I fill out with date, time, tide, conditions and location. I also note who I'm surfing with including anyone I met in the water. I look back at this years later more than anything for the nostalgia. I make notes that include wildlife seen, parking issues (if any), mishaps and a short descrioption of the best wave of the session. It really only takes a few minutes before driving away. If I don't do it at the beach I usually forget about it. I think it improves my surfing and I'm glad you brought it up to remind me to get back at it! THX

Thought about it, never have, perhaps out of laziness or just too focused on the activity itself. I know it would help in predicting conditions more accurately, and thus score more often than not.

Yeah, I'm a huge nerd. I have logged standout sessions from the last few years. You can find the historical data on your local buoy by digging through the NDBC website (for example, if you're looking for the readings on a hurricane that rolled through a few years ago). The buoys also have the last 24 hrs or so on the page with current conditions.
The log helps, no doubt, especially for inlanders like myself who have 10 different surf spots all within an hour drive and cant remember which combo of wind, tides, period, etc need to line up for each spot to turn on.
Mainly though, it helps remember good sessions with certain friends and that occasional awesome ride.
This thread just reminded me to add yesterdays session to the log.

Yea....I do, sometimes. I list the date and conditions, people interactions, wildlife seen, but it talks more about my feelings than anything else. Surprise, surprise.....guess it's a chic thing.

lol! I thought I was the only surf nut. I log each session's day, time, wave conditions, what I rode, who I was with and how I rode based on my own self critical 1-10 scale.
I know this year swell count is WAY down based on last year.

if you write it all down it becomes an interesting exercise in data collection and analysis. if you keep it all in your head you become a local.

Thanks for all the tips guys! The NDBC website is great for the info I was looking for. I have found that keeping this log has helped me to better understand surf forecasting as a whole, especially what works at my favorite spots. It is a pain in the ass sometimes to log every single session. But when I look back over it I get to re-live my standout sessions, which is sometimes the best action I can get when it's flat.
\nMaybe I'm kind of a nerd with all this (and according to cresto, I guess I'm not a local) but it's fun and keeps me focused on becoming a better surfer.

After 15 years of surfing, I to decided to start keeping a log/journal. I like it mostly for seeing how many days/year I actually get in the water. It is also a nice way to be able to look back on stand out days and conditions. I use the surf journal app on the Iphone. It has buoy data and tides built in to the GPS, so once you set your spot the tides and buoy/wind readings populate automatically. If you are looking for specific info on swells, I would stick to the NDBC website. You are not going to find a website with more current ocean reading than that.

Anyone keep a Surf Log or Journal?
I have started keeping a Surf Log documenting the conditions and details of my sesh every time I go out. Lots of the information I can gather myself while in the water, but I'm looking to get more specifics. I use three different websites but all three mostly show what the predicted conditions are for the day, when I really want the measured or actual observed conditions for the time(s) I was out.
I record wave height, swell direction, wind speed and direction, water/air temps among other things. There's gotta be more of you out there that keep some type of record of your sessions. What do you make notes of? Where do you get your reported information? And how has it helped you?
If there is a post already about this, please steer me to it, I couldn't find one. Any help is much appreciated!

"Rather boring, but with a few surprises" Nieuwegein by Roggeveen
Nieuwegein Travel Guide: 22 reviews and 83 photos
Nieuwegein is a modern city in the centre of the Netherlands, just 10 kilometres South of Utrecht. It?s a relatively new municipality with 61.000 inhabitants. It?s a result of recent urban developments to create new housing for the growing population of the Netherlands.
Although Nieuwegein is not one of the most attractive cities, I will try to show you some spots that are worth a visit.
Two small old towns are part of today?s Nieuwegein; Jutphaas and Vreeswijk. The last mentioned is a former settlement along the river Lek. It is really worth a visit and has some nice restaurants terraces and places to visit.
Other attractive elements of Nieuwegein are the many canals and rivers; always lively with larger and smaller boats. Although the waterfronts are not developed as tourist attractions it is, in my opinion, one of the most attractive elements of Nieuwegein. The inhabitants also appreciate the many green areas, mostly parks, in their home town.
The river Lek is running past the city in the South. From the riverbank you have a nice view on the city on the other side; Vianen. The river is flowing toward Rotterdam and is influenced by tides in the Northsea. The river is used intensively by large cargoships, mostly Rhine barges. Nieuwegein has known a long history of locks in which the ships are transferred to other parts of the river, without tidal influence.
A smaller river is the Hollandse IJssel; a river that is very popular among the captains of tourist yachts. There are several landing stages where the smaller yachts can stay.
Other large channels running through or past Nieuwegein are Lekkanaal, Merwedekanaal, and Amsterdam Rijnkanaal. So, if you like watching ships, there are several nice spots in Nieuwegein.
Vreeswijk is an old village that has always had a connection with the waterfront. In and around Vreeswijk you can find locks of several time periods. The white bridges, and the old shipyard, (which is being transformed into a museum), are a few of the remains from this historic connection with the river.
Vreeswijk also has a lot of friendly terraces, caf�?s and restaurants. It is a nice place for a walk through the centre and along the riverbanks.
In Vreeswijk you can also find the fortress ?Vreeswijk?, which is part of the ?Hollandse Waterlinie?; a chain of old fortresses around Holland. In this fortress you can find a small history museum.
- Pros:Waterfronts, historic parts of this municipality, green areas
- Cons:Ugly urban developments, city centre is a boring shopping mall
- In a nutshell:Not impressive, but a good place to live, with a few nice surprises if you know where to go.

Walter, Sorry dat we je niet ontmoet hebben op de Euromeet. WIj deden een rustiger trip te Maastricht en bezochten het Drie Landen punt en terug naar Aken. Tot een andere keer. PJ
leuke site vooral over Nieuwegein. ga zo door, groetjes Ray
Nice travelogue, I'm in Amsterdam from 24 - 29 Aug so maybe we can meet up not decided what I'm doing yet or anything but would like to see the Hague
Hi, nice pictures of the shipyard and the 'Theehuys'. will surely visit this webpage again! Hope to see you soon in Vreeswijk Greetings, Miriam Bakker ( van het Theehuys)
Oh, C'mon - it can't be that bad. The canals and the ships look very interesting and contemporary Dutch architecture is considered to be one of Europe's best at the moment.
Nieuwegein with all these canal, ships, little masterpieces of old architecture looks attractive for me. Well, I'd skip the shopping centre, indeed. Hugs from Poland :-)
Vooral de kinderboerderij in het park moet je een keer bezoeken!
It doesn't look toooo boring Walter, MY town is boring!! (I was in Utrecht last week btw -and Rotterdam! :)) Hope you are doing well, Maria

TV Review: TNT's 'Raising the Bar' Presents Opening Arguments For Season TwoSubmitted by BrianTT on June 8, 2009 - 1:49pm
CHICAGO – I'm a huge Stephen Bochco fan and like most of the cast of TNT's "Raising the Bar," returning tonight to start season two and recently released on DVD in a first season set. But I can't handle the tone changes, two-dimensional characters, and complete lack of judicial realism on this show, one that has promise on paper but has never worked in episode form.

Mattel hopes it has the power to tamp down claims by writer Donald Glut that he has a copyright stake in the original Masters of the Universe minicomics packaged with the action-figure line three decades ago.
In a lawsuit filed Friday in federal court in Los Angeles, and first reported by Courthouse News Service, the toymaker seeks a declaration that it is the sole owner of the lucrative multimedia franchise, asserting that Glut's four stories were work for hire. Mattel refers to the writer's claims of ownership as "both baseless and stale," insisting the statute of limitations long ago expired.
According to the complaint, Glut was commissioned in 1981 to write "He-Man and the Power Sword," "The Vengeance of Skeletor," "Battle in the Clouds" and "King of Castle Grayskull" and to create backstories for He-Man and other characters under the direction of the toymaker ("Mattel told Glut what the toys could do and directed him to have the characters in the minicomics do these things as much as possible," the document states). The company notes the writer acknowledged as recently as 2001 that the minicomics were work for hire for which he received neither credit nor royalties.
"My work on Masters of the Universe taught me one basic lesson: Don't create anything original, especially concepts that someone else will make millions of dollars from, unless you have a percentage of the profits or part ownership," Glut said in a 2001 interview posted on his website. "It's a lesson I've managed to stick to since my days with He-Man and the gang."
But Mattel claims that this year the writer suddenly came forward to assert he created the characters and owns the copyrights, and merely licensed them to the toymaker. Under Glut's alleged theory, that license would expire in 2016.
Glut, who wrote the novelization of The Empire Strikes Back, also penned episodes of such animated series as Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, The Transformers and Centurions, as well as issues of Marvel's Captain America, Conan Saga, The Invaders. Kull the Destroyer and The Savage Sword of Conan.
Good luck with that, dude, but this case seems pretty clear-cut from this perspective.
I loved those minicomics.
I also loved the Earl Norem art that was so prevalent among early He-Man promotional stuff.
The article doesn't say anything about whether Glut signed a work-for-hire contract with Mattel for the material. Before 1978 they wouldn't need one, but this was 1981. They would have to have his signature on a proper contract to claim it's work-for-hire. The fact that they're trying to get his claim dismissed on statute-of-limitations grounds rather than pointing to a contract is curious. I'm interested in seeing how this one plays out.
I remember Paul Dini on the first "Fatman on Batman" episode talked briefly about this. About how they pretty much had to make everything up for the show, since the toy company just had designs and no actual information.
He also briefly mentioned that this guy (I assume he meant this guy, mind you. Didn't actually mention a name) claims he created all of it, but didn't actually.
Donald Glut is a HORRIBLE writer. The guy has never written anything I'd consider worth reading. Just terrible.
Ugh, why would anyone want to take credit for creating HE-MAN?!?
"Ugh, why would anyone want to take credit for creating HE-MAN?!?"
I'll give you a hint: it starts with $ and ends with $$$$$$.
Not only does the sound like a hopeless lawsuit, but he's going to be known as a guy that is dangerous to hire.
Good luck after that.
Dandruff – that is a very broad and inaccurate statement. While Glut did a lot of work for hire that asked him to complete a lot of memorable "done-in-one" stories some of them were very good. In addition, he wrote a range of both non-fiction and fiction-based prose that was memorable, not to mention contributing to a lot of memorable cartoons from the late sixties through to the seventies.
Not that this has anything to do with being treated in a fair manner by the entertainment industry.
"Ugh, why would anyone want to take credit for creating HE-MAN?!?"
Spoken like a true troll who obviously knows nothing about the rich history of the Masters of the Universe world. Troll on buddy, troll on…
Wait, in that interview except he openly states that he created the stories based on the existing toys (or at least prototypes). Likewise, most of what Masters of the Universe is nowadays is based on the animated series and later mini-comics (which were strongly influenced by the series), not the mini-comics (like the whole "dual identity" thing, Man-At-Arms being Teela's father, Skeletor being He-Man's uncle, etc). The best this guy can hope for, so far as I can tell, is a protracted legal battle in which a court tries to separate out all that stuff. Or a payout from Mattel, which is going to happen a quarter past never.
Don Glut did create Dagar the Invincible, a sword and sorcery character from Gold Key, back in 1972. The first issue does feature a rather Grayskull looking castle some 8 years before the toys were released. I realize he was not the artist, but I just found it interesting given this lawsuit.
Dini probably meant this guy:
I can't believe that Mattel didn't have a contract. They just said, "Hey, Don, do this and this and this and we'll pay you (fill-in-the-blank)!" I guess they figured their legal team could handle any suits thrown their way.
"The company notes the writer acknowledged as recently as 2001 that the minicomics were work for hire for which he received neither credit nor royalties." If they have some kind of documentation to prove this assertion then Mr. Glut is pretty much done.
"My work on Masters of the Universe taught me one basic lesson: Don't create anything original, especially concepts that someone else will make millions of dollars from, unless you have a percentage of the profits or part ownership," This probably explains why he hasn't worked in comics since 1980. Any of his original concepts, provided he has any, aren't worth publishing. Didn't read Dagar and have no inclination to.
This seems to be a similar case like Friedrich and Wolfman, they say nothing until there's big dollars to possibly be made and then go to court. Yep, just tie up the system some more with frivolous lawsuits. Unbelievable.
"the rich history of the Masters of the Universe world"
Like they said: troll on buddy…
It took a whole five posts before we got to somebody saying "His stuff is bad" as if that has some sort of bearing on the legal case. I'm impressed.
Because anyone who doesn't pretend masters of the universe is anything more than lame and stupid is a troll.
Poor deluded He-Man fanboys.
>> "The company notes the writer acknowledged as recently as 2001 that the minicomics were work for hire for which he received neither credit nor royalties." If they have some kind of documentation to prove this assertion then Mr. Glut is pretty much done.>>
What follows is a 2001 quote from Glut that they seem to think backs up their case, but it doesn't.
Selling the rights to something — even selling the rights to something in a manner in which you get no credit or royalties — is not necessarily work for hire.
Nor, for that matter, is writing material based on existing characters or designs.
Work for hire is a legal term that means the company (or whoever is doing the hiring), is legally the author of the work. So the rights always stay with them because the rights originated with them, as the legal author.
If you simply write something and then sell it to a company, that's called a rights transfer. You owned the rights, you sold them to someone else. Those rights were transferred from one owner to another.
That's not true of work for hire; it's true of a rights sale.
So what's the difference? Rights sales are able to be reverted, under the law, after a certain amount of time has passed. Work for hire deals don't revert.
So it's entirely possible for Glut to have done a job, one for which he got no credit or royalties, under a deal where Mattel bought the rights from him rather than one where they entered into a contractual work for hire deal before he began work. [That's another difference: Work for hire, as currently defined, can't be retroactive. If you didn't sign a wfh deal until after you started the job, it's not wfh.]
So is it a slam dunk for Mattel? No, not if they don't have a contract, and certainly not if they're relying on that quote to prove wfh.
Is it a greedy move on Glut's part, only taken after the property made a lot of money? Probably not, since MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE was a much bigger property years ago, so that'd have been the time to act. Far more likely, it's that reversion of the rights transfer _couldn't_happen_ until a certain amount of time had passed. As the law specifies.
The argument that corporations should just naturally be the only ones to profit from ideas people consider dumb or bad is bananas on the face of it.
And Glut's almost 70 years old. The people who think he shouldn't assert his legal rights (if he did indeed make a rights transfer) for fear of damaging his employability are probably not thinking things through. When's the appropriate time to assert your rights, after you're dead?
>> This probably explains why he hasn't worked in comics since 1980.>>
I'd think the explanation for why he stopped writing comics around then was more that Roy Thomas moved from Marvel to DC in 1980. By then, Glut was in-demand enough as a TV writer that what few comics he did were mostly to have fun and help Roy meet deadlines, and once Roy was writing for DC and not hiring other writers to do SAVAGE SWORD or INVADERS stories, Glut stuck with TV and film work, and the occasional other writing gigs that came out of that, like the EMPIRE STRIKES BACK novelization.

I know it isn't finished, but it seems to have a bit too much of a comical slant. It would be great to play a completely open game in which you try to stay alive, fighting off zombie hordes in a mall. From what I've seen though, it looks like it will be scripted: (. If it turns out how I had originally wanted, it could be The Killer App. Can you imagine how awesome a Dawn of the Dead simulation could turn out. It would be so sweet to have to think up ways to survive.

I played a demo of it and im pretty sure its scripted.
Posted 05 December 2005 - 03:35 PM
i understand what your talking about, you want it to be a free roaming game similar to GTA but inside of a huge mall, right? that does sound like a good prospect but there would be problems with that direction, what would happen if you killed all the zombies? it would get boring pretty fast. also in more open games there are many characters to go to and interact with to add to the story, pass time with, or just have something to do other then the main story, but in dead rising there isnt much room for character interaction as there are only zombies and civilians to contend with. i agree with you but with the setting that the game takes place i dont think it would work out that well. now that would be a great idea for the sequal and if it isnt restricted to just one building and maybe be staged in an entire city, with different forts and hold ups by the survivors (similar to the Land of the Dead movie), now that would be a great open ended game.
Posted 05 December 2005 - 05:18 PM
I think you you got most of what I'm saying. Since there are achievements, it would be cool if the story was so open that it is possible to get acheivements based on who survives. Say there is a character that is a 100 year old woman. She's slow, on top of that if she get's too scared or you take too long; she dies. Escorting her through the game would be an intense challange. Also, I think it would be prudent to have infinite zombies because we are assuming that a whole city is after you, the zombies should trickle in through specific areas like broken glass door. I don't think you should be confined to the mall, but leaving it would be foolish because you would get mauled in minutes. Then again, jumping out the front door, hotwiring a car, and leaving town, could be an achievement.
Posted 05 December 2005 - 06:53 PM
i played it at zero hour. it's pretty scripted however, there are still plenty of zombies to beat and bash on your way to objectives. it's still fun and i'll buy it when it comes out

Originally published anonymously, The Federalist Papers first appeared in 1787 as a series of letters to New York newspapers exhorting voters to ratify the proposed Constitution of the United States. Still hotly debated, and open to often controversial interpretations, the arguments first presented here by three of America's greatest patriots and political theorists were created during a critical moment in our nation's history, providing readers with a running ideological commentary on the crucial issues facing democracy.
Today The Federalist Papers are as important and vital a rallying cry for freedom as ever.
This edition features the original eighteenth-century text, with James Madison's fascinating marginal notations, as well as a complete text of the Constitution.
About the Author
Alexander Hamilton was born in the West Indies in 1757, the illegitimate child of a Scottish merchant. He came to the American colonies to study at King's College (now Columbia University), and became an early and ardent supporter of the Revolutionary cause. During the Revolutionary War he was aide-de-camp to George Washington and a member of the Continental Congress. He was a leading figure at the Constitutional Convention (1787) and a principal author of The Federalist Papers. At first Secretary of the Treasury he articulated a policy of protection for manufacturing interests, strong central government, and establishment of a national bank. After leaving the Cabinet, he practiced law in New York. His personal attacks hindered the political career of the volatile Aaron Burr, who finally challenged him to a duel in 1804. Hamilton was shot, and died of his wounds.
John Jay (1747-1829) was a conservative lawyer who became a leading patriot. He was a minister to Spain (1780-82), the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court (1789-95), and he negotiated the treaty of 1795 between the U.S. and Britain. His contributions to The Federalist Papers concern foreign affairs.
James Madison was born in 1751, the son of a Virginia planter. He worked for the Revolutionary cause as a member of the Continental Congress and the Virginia House of Delegates. The leader of deliberations at the Constitutional Convention, he fought for the adoption of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Through an ally of Hamilton on the Constitution he was a supporter of Jefferson's agrarian policies. He was Jefferson's Secretary of State (1801-9) and his successor as president (1809-17), but his presidencywas marred by the unpopular War of 1812. Madison died in 1836
Review The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 articles advocating the ratification of the United States Constitution. Seventy-seven of the essays were published serially in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet between October 1787 and August 1788. A compilation of these and eight others, called The Federalist; or, The New Constitution, was published in two volumes in 1788 by J. and A. McLean. The series' correct title is The Federalist; the title The Federalist Papers did not emerge until the twentieth century. The Federalist remains a primary source for interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. According to historian Richard B. Morris, they are an "incomparable exposition of the Constitution, a classic in political science unsurpassed in both breadth and depth by the product of any later American writer." At the time of publication, the authorship of the articles was a closely-guarded secret, though astute observers guessed that Hamilton, Madison, and Jay were the likely authors. Following Hamilton's death in 1804, a list that he drew up became public; it claimed fully two-thirds of the essays for Hamilton, including some that seemed more likely the work of Madison (Nos. 49-58, 62, and 63). The scholarly detective work of Douglass Adair in 1944 postulated the following assignments of authorship, confirmed in 1964 by a computer analysis of the text: - Alexander Hamilton (51 articles: nos. 1, 6-9, 11-13, 15-17, 21-36, 59-61, and 65-85) - James Madison (29 articles: nos. 10, 14, 37-58 and 62-63) - John Jay (5 articles: 2-5 and 64). - Nos. 18-20 were the result of a collaboration between Madison and Hamilton.
The Constitution of the United States of America was drafted chiefly by James Madison, considered to be The Father of the Constitution for his major contributions to the document.

Rivers draining watersheds that include carbonate bedrock or organic matter (OM)-rich sedimentary rocks frequently have 14C-depleted dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) relative to rivers draining carbonate- and OM-free watersheds, due to dissolution of carbonate and/or decomposition of ancient OM. However, our results from a subtropical river, the Brazos River in Texas, USA, show that in this watershed human activities appear to dominate basin lithology in controlling the origin and metabolism of DIC. The middle Brazos flows through limestone and coal-bearing bedrock, but DIC isotope data suggest no limestone dissolution or respiration of ancient OM, and instead reflect efficient air–water CO2 exchange, degradation of relatively young OM and photosynthesis in the river as a result of river damming and urban treated wastewater input. The lower Brazos drains only small areas of carbonate and coal-bearing bedrock, but DIC isotope data suggest the strong influence of carbonate dissolution, with a potentially minor contribution from decomposition of old soil organic matter (SOM). Oyster shells and crushed carbonate minerals used in road construction are likely sources of carbonate in the lower Brazos, in addition to natural marl and pedogenic carbonate. Additionally, the generally low pCO2 and high DIC concentration in the Brazos River lead to a low CO2 outgassing:DIC export ratio, distinguishing the Brazos River from other rivers.

Republican Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas is among those speaking out about federal spending.
In a speech on the Senate floor Monday, Roberts questioned a budget proposal from President Obama that tops $3.6 trillion.
Roberts says, at a time when families are struggling, the proposal asks them to support new programs and higher taxes to support those programs. Roberts called many of the programs "questionable."
Pres. Obama has defended the plan, saying taxes will be raised only on those making more than $250,000 a year. But Roberts claims it will also have small businesses paying more and will raise energy prices.

Water is an expensive commodity, even in the Queenstown Lakes
district which appears to have a plentiful supply.
The Queenstown Lakes District Council launched an awareness
campaign on Wednesday to encourage people to save precious
The campaign's project manager, Martin O'Malley, said as well
as the usual work on the district's water systems, the
council would be informing people about water in a variety of
ways such as advertising and speakers at monthly meetings.
Water reports to the council would be more frequent and, at
this point, the campaign would be ongoing for the next three
Mr O'Malley said it was ''not all about water meters'' but it
was an option for the council to guarantee a decrease in
water use.
''It's been proven all around the world.''
He equated metering water with paying for power and said some
people could be ''pleasantly surprised'' by what they would
pay under such a system. Metering was being considered as a
future water saving option, but all methods were being
''We need to get the facts as much as we can in terms of how
much it will cost per connection. There's no point having the
discussion if we don't have the facts.''
A main focus of the campaign is leak detection and remedy, as
47% of the water being pumped in Queenstown is lost through
leaks and almost one-third is lost throughout the district
across the eight water schemes.
''Some people may not be aware they have leaks on their
property,'' Mr O'Malley said.
The night time flow in particular areas was being monitored
to determine how much water was being used at times when
there should be very little, as the majority of people would
be asleep.
''If there is a heavy flow, that could indicate that there is
The peak water demand period is typically from mid-December
to the end of February.
In 2009, the council projected treated water could cost an
extra $100 million over the next 10 years, and committed
itself to reducing its use.
Mr O'Malley said the $100 million was ''a huge wake-up

Actor Paul Giamatti unknowingly spilled an ocean of digital ink last week when he suggested the long-brewing CG-animated adaptation of Eric Powell's The Goon had run out of money. Powell jumped on Twitter and his blog to explain that producer David Fincher was still trying to make it happen.
Powell updated his blog post with new information and comments from both Giamatti, who voices Franky, and Fincher. First, Powell recounted an email from Giamatti that we'll just copy and paste here:
I just got an email from Giamatti saying he feels like a douche that this became a topic. He did say that he facetiously muttered, "Maybe they can't get the money.", but never said anything about money drying up. But as everyone knows, this is how the internet works. He also said I could declare him full of crap and a nuisance… which would only make him more suited to play Franky, but are completely untrue. His time already devoted to this project is greatly appreciated.
Powell also quoted Fincher as saying: "The things that make the Goon so completely unique are, unfortunately, more than mere concerns to corporate Hollywood. The problem is trying to work it through the Play-Doh press that is development and emerge with our dignity and YOUR hard fought independent voice intact. But I am undeterred–this atom can be split."
Powell's The Goon comic follows the titular character as he pals around with Franky and bashes zombie brains while also pretending to work for a mobster he already killed in order to make some scratch.
I don't get why hollywood is concerned about this movie. It would easily make back the money spent on it just from The Goon fans and whatever friends they drag to the movie. Then you get money from the people wanting to see a hilarious movie with zombies and Paul Giamatti, directed by David Fincher (hint: that would be everybody). This movie filled 3 of my top 3 requirements for an instant classic. If this does not get made I will lose all faith that good exists in this world

A cosmos without the Daleks scarcely bears thinking about.
Without the mutated remnants of the seemingly indestructible planet Skaro, we don't know if Doctor Who would have survived. If Terry Nation had dreamt up the Voord to menace Barbara in the series fifth episode, Den of Geek may well be paying tribute to Doctor Who as an obscure cult concern, cherished by a few but forgotten by many. Instead, we do things like this.
This list is not limited to the television series, because Doctor Who isn't limited to the television series. And hey, why not use our Comments Section to add your own list or express disbelief that I've not included Evil of the Daleks in mine?
10. Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D.
There's something eternally Sunday lunchtime about the Amicus Dalek films, a pleasant afternoon's stroll through mail-apocalyptic London up the woodland roads to Bedfordshire. And it's hard to maintain the grimness of the TV original while a jazz score flourishes (even Dortmun's death scene features incongruous parping), what with vans smashing through Dalek barricades, and Bernard Cribbins dressed in figure-hugging PVC trying to stop the Dalek ship dispensing Smarties.
Plus, instead of the Slyther, there's Philip Madoc. This is a vast improvement. There's even bonus Eileen Way. Old Mother lives!
Scene Where You Realise How Brilliant It Is: The score. It might be Jeffless jazz but it's jauntier than the rakish application of a wide-brimmed hat.
9. The Dalek Master Plan
Yes reader, it is a big one. Not satisfied with alien forests, invasions of Earth, and chases through time and space, Terry Nation's next idea was to try all three at once, with a Christmas Special thrown in. And if we're going to have the first companion death, what the hell, let's throw in the second one as well while we're at it. And aliens. Lots of aliens. And an episode set in ancient Egypt. And the first of Kevin Stoney's two great villain roles. And the return of the Meddling Monk. And unparalleled destruction. And that incredibly bleak ending. What larks!
Twelve episodes of fun, adventure, death, and mayhem. Thirteen if you count Mission to the Unknown - when the production team decide to run a full episode building up to the story, featuring none of the regular cast, you know they think they're onto something.
Scene Where You Realise How Brilliant It Is: Personally, I could watch Mavic Chen monologue for a whole episode.
8. To the Death
Nick Briggs isn't best known for his writing, but he's obviously paid attention while hanging around on set during season finales. When tasked with coming up with a finale to the four years long Eighth Doctor/Lucie Miller arc, logically he does it with a huge emotional punch and as a sequel to The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
Typically, Doctor Who is a fun, action adventure. Noticeably, many of its classics diverge from this by being fundamentally grim. As the title suggests, this is one of those stories. The Daleks in it aren't especially cunning, or scheming, or clever, but they're just nasty and efficient. Almost as horrible as the actual invasion is the first episode where Daleks soften up humanity with a bombardment of plague.
Then, when they do turn up, there's no temporary paralysis, or tenuous reasons for them not to fire. They shoot basically everybody when they see them. The only reason they lose is because people are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, and there's no space-dust or timey-wimey solution to it.
Scene Where You Realise How Brilliant It Is: The Eighth Doctor properly loses it. And it's scary.
7. Revelation of the Daleks
It's a relief, given his brief tenure, that Colin Baker's Dalek story is a good one, a deliciously warped version of Evelyn Waugh's superb The Loved One – only this time with body snatching, Alexei Sayle, and explosions. Technically, though, it's more of a Davros story than a Dalek one, but what it does have is Graeme Harper directing (thrusting eye stalks into close-ups and generally having fun making their mere presence sinister) and a new take on an old concept: what if you took the idea of Cyber-conversion and applied it to Daleks instead. Thus we have a gruesome scene in which someone discovers their father midway through conversion into a Dalek mutant, oscillating between begging for death and ranting about racial purity.
Plus, Davros is brilliant in this. It's impossible to watch him in the position of a businessman without imagining The Apprentice or Dragon's Den.
Scene Where You Realise How Brilliant It Is: "Serve me well and I shall allow you to become a Dalek."
6. Children of the Revolution
As sequels to Evil of the Daleks go, this one really nails the concept of human Daleks in a way that Daleks in Manhattan sadly failed to (also, at no point does it conjure up an image of the Cult of Skaro chasing a pig). Fortunately the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip managed it in 2002, and what's more it did it with a big Lovecraftian monster, multi-colorDaleks and an underwater city.
Without any impetus to portray humanity in a positive light, Children of the Revolution explores prejudice and tolerance in a way that doesn't make us look like the good guys.
Bubbling under from the comic strip, the recently released Nemesis of the Daleks and Fire and Brimstone – because spider-Daleks are easier to draw than to animate.
Scene Where You Realise How Brilliant It Is:
"Well, this is new."
5. Remembrance of the Daleks
Ah, the McCoy era. And didn't we have trouble with the prototype?
Featuring one of Keff McCulloch's better soundtracks, the pre-credits sequence seems like it's come from nowhere. Short, compact, it sets the scene dramatically and features the first of several excellent model sequences. It's as confident a statement of intent as the show has ever seen.
It's a testament to the BBC's attitude towards the show at the time that they forbade director Andrew Morgan from working on the show again after the story went over budget, rather than take note of how good the series could look with a bit of money spent on it.
As well as looking the part, the script brought a swagger and confidence to the show that it hadn't seen for many series. It's almost as seismic a shift as The Ark in Space was back in 1975. We're back to questioning the Doctor's morality, his origins, and his methods. Meanwhile, Sylvester McCoy has nailed the role and Ace has calmed down a bit since Dragonfire. For the first time in a few years, things boded very well indeed.
Scene Where You Realise How Brilliant It Is: "Activate the Special Weapons Dalek."
4. Dalek
Rob Shearman, purveyor of disturbing dwarf-death and rampaging floating baby, was given the task of bringing the Daleks back to television on the strength of his excellent work for Big Finish. His only previous TV credit was for an episode of Born and Bred. It's hard to imagine this sort of opportunity for inexperienced writers arising again without the program going on another long hiatus first.
Happily, after many redrafts and the temporary non-availability of Daleks, this episode manages to bring the fear-factor back with some excellent storytelling and some cutting dialogue. While the Daleks' power to frighten may have since diminished by necessity, this episode remains a testament to the innate brilliance of the idea of a Dalek, and what can be done with it.
Scene Where You Realise How Brilliant It Is: During The Parting of the Ways, when you realise based on Dalek how much danger everyone's in.
3. Genesis of the Daleks
As I said before, Doctor Who is not, generally speaking, a very morose show. Even in its grimmer stories, there are plenty of moments of levity. In Genesis of the Daleks there is "No tea Harry" and that's pretty much it.
From its loaded Seventh Seal references to the slow motion machine gun death spasms, death is introduced in abundance. Being their origin, much of the killing is not performed by Daleks til later in the story. Humanoids do unspeakable things unto humanoid, and we meet the halfway point in Michael Wisher's deathless performance as Davros.
The Doctor and his friends spend much of their time suffering and losing. Even after Tom Baker's definitive "Do I have the right?" scene, the Doctor goes back on his decision and later attempts to destroy the Dalek incubation chambers. Stakes are high and desperate acts are committed.
Even then, at the end of everything, it's still not clear whether the Doctor's actions did more harm than good.
Scene Where You Realise How Brilliant It Is: "The entire Kaled people. You would go that far?"
2. The Parting of the Ways
In many ways the 2005 series is just one big Dalek story. Even before the show returned to our screens there had been the tiny matter of the Time War, the motherlode of temporal skirmishes. You could even argue that series one is a sequel to Genesis of the Daleks.
One thing viewers want from Dalek stories - because we're all horrible people, you understand - is nastiness and carnage. Russell T Davies understood this perfectly, and delivered a seemingly invincible army zapping countless innocents and melting Australia. The Doctor is prepped to commit genocide to stop this, but ultimately would rather die than do so again. Thus, he is saved and reborn.
Nice one Rusty.
Scene Where You Realise How Brilliant It Is: "Coward. Every time."
1.The Power of the Daleks
How unbelievably brilliant is this for a gamble: you change your lead actor, having him play a different version of the same man, and then you make him a hard sell? Then, once the audience have become suspicious, you have his hero credentials partially restored by his deadliest enemies, only to have it strongly implied that he actually saved the day by accident? Insanity, surely? Well, yeah, kinda. Audiences at the time didn't warm to Patrick Troughton, but we've had nearly fifty years of hindsight to see how our parents and grandparents were clearly mad with grief.
Power is thematically astute, a great combination of character and plot, and - from what images we have – it looked fantastic. Viewers recall the relentless march of the Dalek production line, and the sight of mutant clones being bathed in chemical baths. The soundtrack hints at a relentless onslaught in later episodes as an inevitable crescendo to the earlier slow build of dread.
The Daleks have never been as insidious, or as lethal.
Scene Where You Realize How Brilliant It Is: "Yes. You gave us life."
And one to miss
The TV Movie. We can only speculate as to why the Daleks sound like robotic frogs in this one. Fortunately they're only in the first twenty seconds.
