In Part 4 of the I, Davros storyline, the switch flips. Davros changes from being a scientist who wants to seek the truth to being a zealot driven to completely exterminate the Thals with his new species. But Davros is not above making use of the Thals themselves to further his aims: a Thal spy uses a voice synthesizer to get around voice-recognition locks, and this ends up being useful to the Daleks. This same spy also involuntarily donates his brain to science. And this is where we find out how the Daleks got their name: from the language of the Dals, an ancient Skaro civilization. Daelek means, basically, godlike. So no shortage of ego for these ones.

This was such a good conclusion. Chilling, especially that very last line. The perfect ending.

How I wish I had purchased the paper version of this! I would have loved to easily flip back and forth to read about different movies as they were mentioned. Even with the handicap of having it on Kindle, I loved it. My movie collection got larger; more purchases are planned in the future.

Don't be misled by the title; this isn't a book written for a library reference collection. It is written for fans of sword and sorcery films (even some films that masquerade as science fiction, children's fantasy, or horror). I found myself nodding in agreement with some of the comments or muttering, "I didn't know *that*." The only problem I had with the book is I wish when the authors wrote "A resembles B" that it had been clear which movie came first.

If you enjoy sword and sorcery films, what are you waiting for? Go get the book!
