I enjoy "Doctor Who" more than I probably should, but ...
The New Year's episode begins with 9th-century humans killing what turns out to be a Dalek scout.
They cut it in three parts and send them to the far ends of the Earth for secret burial.
9th-century humans knew how to burn things. Why didn't they burn the Dalek? Why keep it around?
Because then there wouldn't be a movie, as director John Ford said, apocryphally, about why the Indians didn't just kill the horses pulling the stagecoach.
