Doctor Who Question for Thesis?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
You have a thesis adviser- ask him/her about this trivial nonsense. That this got approved, shocks me.

Somwething wrong with this post, as cool as Doctor Who comparisons are.

1) M.Phil. at *most*, as Ph.D. is supposed to bring something new to the table. Doctor Who <-> WWII is not new, not even within the series itself.

2) Can't find any information to back that up? Not searched very hard or well then.

3) if you're relying on Yahoo! answers for a very advanced livelihood and future, then perhaps retail (which can be a career with management opportunities if you take it seriously enough) is a more appropriate place for you to be.

4) PoorBearPenguin mentions other salient points.

5) It's a joke of a question. Unfortunately it's more Andy Kaufman and less Dave Allen.

While I love Doctor Who, I think your thesis needs work.

If anything, The Doctor himself is more like Merlin or Sherlock Holmes.

Comparing The Daleks to The Nazis is rather weak since unlike the Nazis, the Daleks want to eliminate all other life in existence - not because they believe they are the Master Race, but because they hate anything that isn't Dalek.

Writing your thesis on Doctor Who? Interesting!

Daleks think they are the superior race; Hitler championed that the Aryan race was the master race. Go back and watch the old series, specifically the episodes involving Daleks. Then, watch the newer series (that starts with Nine). Take notes while you watch. Good luck!

Could draw comparisons between how the Nazis are viewed today to how viewers are made to feel about the Daleks. Also, the Dalek 'catch-phrase' of "exterminate" and the term commonly linked to the Nazis of extermination? (why would you have not thought of this before choosing it as your thesis?:'D)

And I'm writing my PhD thesis on Caspar the Friendly Ghost and how people's eyeballs can stretch out when they see him.

I am writing my PhD thesis on the parallels of Doctor Who to WWII and am having a bit of trouble. My hypothesis is that the Daleks represent Hitler and the Nazis and that the doctor and his various companions represent the allied forces but I can't find ANY information to back that up. Please help!!! My livelihood and future depend on wowing my professors. I can't go back to working retail!!11!!!
