#dalek (episode)

"Where shall I get my orders now?"

"You're just a soldier without commands."

"Then I shall follow the primary order: the Dalek instinct to destroy, to conquer!"

"What for? What's the point?! Don't you see? It's all gone. Everything you were, everything you stood for."

"Then what should I do?"

"Alright then. If you want orders, follow this one: kill yourself."

"The Daleks must survive!"

"The Daleks have failed! Why don't you finish the job and make the Daleks extinct? Rid the universe of your filth! Why don't you just die?!"

"You would make a good Dalek."

From the Doctor Who: Lockdown short: "Sven and the Scarf."

"Seven years in space."

"Could potentially be a haven for alien artifacts."

"First up; postulates, a remnant of an alien glob-like organism..."

"Or... perhaps could even be... bubble wrap."

"But I am an optimist."

Love that this alien arm is clearly just green bubblewrap. 70s prosthetics I love you

Moffat will come up with the sickest concepts ever when writing under RTD's showrunning but when he's showrunning himself he creates the power ranger daleks

eleven is fascinating to me because he came right off the back of tens horrible traumatic breakdown after he lost everything and he immediately tried to establish himself as the opposite of that. he is funny and goofy and almost childlike, and he bulldozes on in his adventures with amy like nothing happened at all. but then something happens and his masks slips and it's like oh! the core of this man is still anger. he is so so angry all of the time and this façade is the only thing stopping him from being consumed by it. he isn't over any of it and he hasn't moved on. he is wearing a fez and laughing but under that all that exists is age old anger and grief and it is going to consume him

A telesnap redraw. I wish the first episode of Evil Of The Daleks were found, so we could see the 2nd Doctor moping around in a colourful 60's café (once colourised) and Jamie being severely out of place among people his age.

You think you know every detail about your special interest and then one day you spot something that’s somehow escaped your notice all this time…

The Doctor is wearing a bandaid on his index finger in The Power of the Daleks. Some of the most well-known production images of this Doctor, and I have spent all these flipping years NEVER seeing it there.

And for a moment I thought, well, maybe it’s just the production images, maybe Pat just personally had one on when they were taking promo pics and he doesn’t actually have it in the story. But…

It’s there. Not only that, but he doesn’t put it on later when he’s rummaging through the trunk or something — he wakes up with it on.

Here’s the thing. At no point in The Tenth Planet is the Doctor wearing a bandaid on his finger. Thinking I was losing my mind and seriously never noticed this in one of my favorite stories, I just checked, but no, even up to his regeneration I can find no evidence of the bandaid’s existence on the First Doctor.

It’s not like the ring that was already there and stayed there when he regenerated, it just… appears. I know there’s already precedent for some weirdness with this regeneration because he wakes up wearing new clothes, which otherwise never happened up until Whittaker -> Tennant, but… a bandaid? The regeneration created a bandaid? And it’s been there this WHOLE time?!

no one talks about how horrifying of a concept asylum of the daleks has. to be so convinced of your humanity that you cannot accept the fact that you have become a monster, to have lived in a dreamt up world inside your head despite its nonsensical rules because the reality is far too disturbing to bear.

i have a history exam tomorrow on the world war two but i dont need to study bc i know everything about the london blitz (a nazi bomb fell in a church and kickstarted a romantic night for an angel and a demon) (a little kid was looking for his mummy while a blonde girl and an immortal dude met a 51st century guy for the first time) (an exterminator alien race took over and tried to control london while becoming ‘pure’ again)

The episode Dalek is all about parallels.

Rose Tyler changed that Dalek much like she changed the Doctor. That’s why she has such a huge importance in his life.

I believe that’s why the Doctor goes to such extreme lengths to keep her around, to impress her, to save her. He did some pretty shady things exclusively for her that he wouldn’t have dared in any other situation. It comes off almost like a desperate love, and I think it is, but I also think there’s more to it. She’s his lifeline in this terrible storm he is weathering- desperate to follow her back to the person he used to be before the war.

It started with “it’s good to have a human companion again!” And turned into “I need you, you’re the only thing keeping me from becoming everything I hate”.

When he looked at that pathetic Dalek in the sun and how Rose did that to it, he was having some real reflection time. That’s what Rose did to him. That’s why he would break the laws of time for her.
