Line 9: The Doctor intercepts the atomic seed and plants it aboard the Dominators' ship as it leaves, destroying it, while the volcano erupts harmlessly. Or nearly harmlessly, for the TARDIS is right in the path of the lava flow... [https://web.archive.org/web/20100618190320/http://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/xvm7c_tardismedia_the-dominators It can be viewed here.] == Tropes included == * [[Blood Knight]] * [[Chekhov's Volcano]] * [[Crystal Spires and Togas]]: The Dulcians have both. * [[Easily -Conquered World]] * [[Earthshattering Kaboom]] * [[Fake Shemp]]: Patrick Troughton wasn't present for location filming; a body double, Chris Jeffries, filled in. His face is briefly visible in the final episode. Line 21: * [[I Love Nuclear Power]] * [[Inferred Holocaust]]: The Dominators have sent for their fleet. The Doctor only foiled their current plan. * [[I Will Only Slow ~~Youdown~~You Down]] * [[Made a Slave]] * [[Magic Tool]]: This is where the sonic screwdriver ceases to be just a screwdriver, and [[New Powers Asas the Plot Demands\|gains the power to burn through concrete]]. * [[Meaningful Name]]: All over the place. From the Latin we have "Dulkis" (''dulcis'', "sweet, pleasant, agreeable"), "Senex" (''senex'', "old man") and "Bovem" (''bos / bovis'', "cow"). "Cully" is an old English word for 'dupe' or 'simpleton'. ** [[Numerical Theme Naming]]: The first three Dulcians to be killed by the Quarks are called Wahed, Etnin and ~~Tolata -- Arabic~~Tolata—Arabic for "One", "Two" and "Three". * [[Merchandise -Driven]]: The Quarks were conceived with an eye to the merchandising opportunities. In the event legal disputes about their ownership prevented the creation of the proposed range of Quark toys. * [[No One Gets Left Behind]] * [[Not -So -Omniscient Council of Bickering]] * [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] * [[People of Hair Color]] Line 38: [[Lampshade Hanging\|Lampshaded]] by Zoe, when she has to wear one: "[[Real Women Never Wear Dresses\|They're not very efficient garments, are they?]] ... They feel impractical!" Though Cully tries to invoke [[She Cleans Up Nicely]], saying she looks "more like a girl now". * To be fair, Zoe and Kando's (the only Dulcian girl we see) floaty little dresses do actually look pretty good on them, but the heavy, pleated dresses made from miles of cloth that are worn by the men are not flattering... *** For that matter, everyone on Dulkis also seems to wear flimsy open leather sandals, in spite of all the outdoor areas shown on camera consisting entirely of [[~~Added Alliterative Appeal~~Alliteration\|rough rocky rubbly]] quarry-type terrain, which could easily be painful on such barely-protected feet. * [[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids]]: the intended Aesop about the naivety of pacifism. ** [[Accidental Aesop]]: The story can be read as supporting activist students, encouraging them to reject rote learning and the irrational laws of the older generation, and take direct action against injustice. * [[Smoldering Shoes]]: What's left when a Quark gets blown up. Line 46: * [[Violence Really Is the Answer]] * [[With Due Respect]] * [[Youth Is Wasted Onon the Dumb]] {{reflist}} [[Category:Doctor Who (TV)/Recap]]▼ [[Category:Doctor Who S 6 E 1 The Dominators]]▼ [[Category:Recap]] ▲[[Category:Doctor Who ~~S 6 E 1 The Dominators~~]] ▲[[Category:Doctor Who ~~(TV)~~/Recap]]
