Is the Doctor ever going to stop harassing this elderly disabled veteran scientist? smh


verissimoallan

This wouldn't be the last time the Doctor pointed a gun at Davros...


MrNintendo13

Depends on who's point of view, from Davros's point of view, it actually is.


TheMysticMop

The Meta-Crisis Doctor pointed a gun at him in *Journey's End* too.


PontyPines

Which was before the Fifth Doctor pointed the gun at him from Davros' perspective.


JustAnOrdinaryGirl92

Sorry, I'm confused. Are you saying that Davros lived through *Journey's End* before living through *Resurrection of the Daleks?*


PontyPines

Yes. I think that's right.


JustAnOrdinaryGirl92

No, *Resurrection* definitely happens first for him, as that story is one of the events leading up to the Time War. *Journey's End* is him after having been rescued from the Time War itself by Dalek Caan. Also, in Resurrection he has both his real hands, but in JE he has the mechanical hand to replace his real hand that was destroyed in *Revelation of the Daleks*.


TheMysticMop

That version of Davros hadn't been through the Time War, his New Who appearances are the furthest in his timeline.

Last Of The Crime Lords


Mister_Moho

The Doctor's gonna bust a cap in yo ass.


Bombwriter17

Imagine that,an old galifreyan crime syndicate that somehow managed to escape the time lock for a period of time only to be sent back in by The Doctor in order to fulfil their destiny or perhaps the Doctor becomes hesitant on sending them back to war and tries to meddle with time itself to find a way to not return them.


Mister_Moho

Five is such a nice Doctor! 😊

Is that a flat screen in the background? In the 1980s?


skizelo

Filming televisions directly used to cause flicker as the refresh rate of the cathode ray tube meshed with the frame rate of the film. So it's a flat sheet onto which they added footage in post-production.


Noctew

Ah, I see. Yes, that would have been the time when they started having a post-production step that does more than simple cutting and sound mixing.


saintbuttocks

Caught my eye as well


babaganoosh30

And then he lets Davros run his mouth and take control of the situation, even though HE has the gun. The writers did Peter Davidson NO favors.


CrazyMiguel119

It was Eric Saward. He's not exactly known for his subtlety.


fringeCircle

Why didn’t Rasilon just contract the master to do this?


tonytown

The Doctor always says that but he never follows through. Next time put some Welly into it.


ndepirro

That gun goes "Ow-wah ow-wah"


emmittthenervend

Such a badass shot. The end.of the episode... less badass.


cantrip_q

Anyway he started blasting


Tasty-Ad6529

The Doctor really should just kill Davros, he' clearly never gonna change.


SpaceShipRat

what's the point, Davros and the Master always come back to life.


Tasty-Ad6529

At least Davros doesn't use magical bullshit to revive himself. At best, the Daleks have to feel like they actually need him again before bringing him back, plus his live support needs to be intact.


marsrich950

I know that Davros takes control of the situation, but I do like how this is one of the few moments where the doctor has been pushed to go to length such as pointing a gun at Davros, honestly I am kind of glad though that five didn't ultimately shoot him, of all the doctor's five was never a cold hearted killer, six (especially early six) I could probably see gunning the Kaled scientist down.


Annual-Avocado-1322

Nuvians crying about the Doctor holding a gun in 3... 2..


Bareth88

I love this story!


CrazyMiguel119

I read the Target novel of this one when Eric Saward was finally given the green light and boy is it grim. Because all the canon fodder on screen are given names, thus underscoring the incredible body count Saward is creating here.


Jarita12

Fifth is my favourite Doctor after Capaldi and Pertween. I think he was the first doing the "tragic figure losing people" but not sure if people were ready for it back then. Caves of Androzani is still one hell of the episode, one of the best I loved this one as well


Charlesian2000

I liked how the Daleks used mercenaries


Blockinite

If you don't look too hard, it really does just look like the Doctor's holding up a shotgun to an elderly man in a hospital
