Day 74: Flight Through Eternity

The Daleks, not content with invading the hearts and minds of children everywhere, have decided to invade history as well, through the use of a time machine. In their travels, they come across a sailing ship, and cause the entire crew to abandon ship out of fear of these evil metal creatures. This ship is later revealed to be the Mary Celeste in what must be one of the more bonkers twists in Doctor Who history. It wasn't things like piracy or drunkenness that caused the Mary Celeste to lose all hands, it was the Daleks. But let's move back to the opening statement. Kids are fascinated by the Daleks, and it stands to reason that they are making up stories about them, and that all sorts of weird stuff occurs in these stories. So if they were to discover about the mystery of the Mary Celeste, it is indeed possible that they would consider whether the Daleks would destroy them, in a way that only the imagination of a child could. The next handful of episodes will certainly continue along this thread, of amazing action happening to the Doctor and co., but more specifically, the Daleks, as we delve into a story that just feels fun, or to put it more bluntly, 'totes amazeballs'.
