6 – Ex-ter-min-ate!

I told you the (insert TARDIS acronym here, I'll choose Mei's: The Accident Revolving, Destruction Inducing Ship) had a radar for trouble. Or, at least distress calls. So they get dragged to the year 2012, Utah. And some people point some more guns at them. Look at the arrogant dude that calls the Dalek his pet. But we don't know it's a Dalek yet. We're about to find out though.

Trouble-on-legs goes alone into this high-security cell. And gets locked in. Hope he knows what he's doing. Although from his reaction to the Dalek (ok, now we find out that's what it is) I highly doubt it.

Rose and Adam (Random-possibly-expendable-male-character-that-seems-to-have-developed-an-overly-healthy-interest-in-Rose) discuss lumps of metal. Adam also unknowingly calls Rose a nutter, but she decides to ignore that.

Ooooh, our Time Lord's throwing a temper tantrum because he didn't get to destroy/ blow up the Dalek. Possibly too much of a tantrum to notice the looks that Arrogant-owns-Internet-dude is giving him. Oh dear, he noticed. I think our alien's expression of 'Uh oh' fully fits the situation.

'Uh oh' was dead right. So, to think about it, was Rose. And here we have Exhibit A – the Doctor.

Rose meets the Dalek, doesn't listen to what anybody's told her and gets burnt. On a side note, she also frees said Dalek, but that was an accident that I don't think 'whoops' entirely covers.

And Trouble-on-legs uses his psychic mind-control to get Arrogant-owns-Internet-dude to free him. Or just threatens quite well.

Viewers are left to wonder: how exactly he got dressed again so quickly. And, what the point of that 4-minute scene of him in the dungeons was.

Was it: firstly, to show that the Doctor does get into bad situations when people know he's an alien and can generally talk his way out of them.

Secondly, to show newer viewers that he has got two hearts and so yes is an alien.

Thirdly, for all the fanfic writers (and readers) out there who happened to want to see the Doctor with his shirt off.

Or finally, because someone wanted to play a practical joke on Christopher Eccleston – they shot that scene then left him there while everyone else went for a tea break.

But everything's going to be ok now, our Time Lord's on the case. Although, if he has his way, he'll want to blow everything up. Despite the fact that the Dalek's doing well enough without him.

See what happens when you absorb part of Rose? You…go on a killing spree, call Trouble-on-legs a good Dalek (A/N He doesn't appear very happy about that.), then pretend to kill Rose.

Pretend so well in fact that the Doctor goes all gloomy, depressed-y, angst-y, and 'Argh! Rose is dead!'-y. But then discovers that she isn't. Blithely disregarding everything he said in the first episode about the 'bigger picture', the Time Lord decides to save Rose even if it means putting everyone else in jeopardy. Just so that Jackie won't kill him if he comes back without her.

He then goes off to rescue her, armed with a phaser and expecting to kill it on his own, where 200 army people failed. I suppose he already proved last episode that army people are useless, so he has a point.

Whatever. He's ready to act all heroic and save her from the…evil…twisted (and twisting) …dustbin …armed with a toilet plunger. And a death ray, but that's beside the point.

Our Last Surviving Time Lord's really not needed because the Dalek can blow itself up without any help.

And Rose decides to test just how jealous her alien'll get if she drags a 'pretty boy' along with her. Look! He is all upset! (A/N The authoress doesn't like Adam).

Rose pressures him into allowing the 'genius' aboard the 'Tanned Athletic Rose, Doctor Is Staring'. (My thanks yet again to Avelynn Tame, shipper, who thought of this. Avelynn: I gather you were one of the people in the fourth episode who wanted them to say 'yes'?)

Summary of the Synopsis: They save the world, but the Dalek gets blown up in the process. And then they gain a new traveling companion, whom the authoress wants to die next episode. Or get blown up.

No, I don't like Adam. I wanted the Doctor to put his foot down and not allow him in the TARDIS but I have a feeling that since Rose asked, he doesn't feel like he can say no…

Anyway, I'd like some more TARDIS acronyms, if you can think of them.
