"Hand (Of Omega)" - a Doctor Who/REM-brance of the Daleks song parody

UPDATE 7/2/25 - Now with CAPTIONS!
Apologies for the crummy version that was there before, and double apologies for not including them to begin with.

You might notice that I added a few footnote-asterisk things to the captions. See below for what they all mean.

(original description)
A leftover from last July that I never got around to turning into a video until now. (If you were at LI Who last year, you heard the world premiere.)

From an algorhythmic perspective, there's no reason to post this now, other than - ya know - they brought Omega back on the show. This one's all about "Remembrance of the Daleks" from 1988, though, hence the use of R.E.M.

Have fun with it. I really like it.

CAPTION FOOTNOTES:

- It's a bit heavy-handed in a "well-meaning 1980s" way, but that doesn't mean it's wrong. Far from it. I just liked that line too much. All of the examples I mention are great scenes on their own. Ace with the sign, and Mike revealing the extent of his radicalization, are both really strong moments in particular. Now: does a topic as complicated as real world racism map neatly onto a story about Black and White Daleks who don't get along (who seem equally matched in terms of firepower, and - while one of them considers themselves "pure", the other side considers themselves to be the next stage of evolution, which makes them the new "pure" Daleks...?) No. But if the ultimate point of the episode is "hate ultimately turns people into Daleks" it did okay on that front (again, see Mike's storyline.)
** - Yes, I know it's a different prop, but it's clearly supposed to be Susan's book. Settle down.
*** - Go listen to the DVD commentary for "Remembrance of the Daleks." It's not, like, a hilarious or inappropriate story or anything, it's just good-natured backstage teasing that turned into a nickname and it all started with his gun prop.
