An episode of The Outer Limits comes to mind:
Colonel: "The military indoctrination Adam [the AI] was receiving was being sabotaged."
Attorney: "Sabotaged? By whom?"
Colonel: "I believe you know them. Gandhi, Whitman, and Emerson?"

Considering Daleks in the MTG set are 3/3 creatures with menace and an exterminate ability, they fuckin' nailed it.

Having seen only two serials from this era, I thought: If they don't have Ace's baseball bat as an artifact in the MtG set, it's inexcusable. But:

Sylvester McCoy's 7th Doctor also living up to the rep with a "No; I have pity FOR you," as a one-liner. Schwarzenegger only wishes.

They really did put colored phone cable cords on this MF and called him "ascended," didn't they?

LOL. Okay. You had me, guys. Incredibly relevant plot reason for that silly design. Classic Dr. Who is always 25% better than I give it credit for.

I try to appreciate the aesthetics, budget constraints, and technological limitations of TV shows from different eras, but that Dalek Emperor is busted.

To paraphrase, at certain heat levels you stop moving with MP and start moving at a flow rate.

Also one of the few 'mechs with maxed armor because it has to. It doesn't have enough crits to carry classic Annihilator armor and use all of its weapon tonnage. The Clan double heat sinks w/a tiny engine are partially to blame. I mean, it COULD carry 15 ER Large Lasers, but...

The techs doing the project thought it would get canceled so they never gave it a name. By the time things started to work out, warriors were already using the name with zero irony.
I hope three Arrow IV pods soften the blow of your stupid name.

Even lazier: Wookies, Gungans, Mon Calimari, whatever Yoda is and R2 units.
