Continuing on the Doctor Who theme, this week’s battle royale features the good Doctor’s two greatest foes, Cybermen and Daleks. Grab a bunch and throw them in the ring, who will win?
Stephen Schleicher began his career writing for the Digital Media Online community of sites, including Digital Producer and Creative Mac covering all aspects of the digital content creation industry. He then moved on to consumer technology, and began the Coolness Roundup podcast. A writing fool, Stephen has freelanced for Sci-Fi Channel's Technology Blog, and Gizmodo. Still longing for the good ol' days, Stephen launched Major Spoilers in July 2006, because he is a glutton for punishment.

Daleks, FTW. Honestly, who’d be scared of Cybermen? Sure, they’re creepy looking, but more in the vein of “Oompa Loompa-esque” creepy, as opposed to “robots that will surely kill me if they have the chance” creepy. Cybermen don’t look like they want to kill me, they look like maybe they just want to touch me inappropriately and then ask me not to tell.
Although, Daleks do look like salt and pepper shakers, so they lose points for that.
Really? is this even a contest? let me see… machine made made of spare parts VS maniacal xenophobic megalomaniacs in polycarbite armour firing weapons that x-ray your body visibly… hmmmm… tough one, surely…
Ditto what she said.
Also remember that the time war that destroyed mosthe Tome Lords as well as their home planet involved the Daleks. If the only way the Doctor could see gerid of the Daleks was by committing the genocide of two races, then they must be some Bad Mother (Shut Your Mouth!!!) I’m talkin bout Daleks.
Until the Daleks do a Kickline, Make mine Major Spoilers.
Excaliburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh come on, this isn’t even a poll! We *saw* this already in the show! It’s canon now! It was a Dalek cakewalk! Four Daleks mowing down an army of Cybermen and wisecracking about it, the Cybermen didn’t even damage their plates! Go for a real poll like i dunno, Sontarans vs. Judoon. Could we even tell them apart? …oh wait, sontarans are shorter..

I recuse myself as I’m not qualified to vote. I’ve just never watched Doctor Who.
I apologize.
Scot: Great site you have there.
*in the mechanical Dalek voice* Cybermen are better at dying
