"You would make a good Dalek!" Still a much better powerful line than Into the Dalek.

[@MattyReverse]

It's not the line that makes this episode so special, it's the episode that comes with it. The Eccleston episode deals with the Doctor's anger and PTSD, and he is a better person by the end of it. The Capaldi episode, the Dalek just says the Doctor is a good Dalek, and neither the Dalek nor the Doctor do anything after that. It feels empty, specially when we have a much better sene to compare it with. Capaldi is the best Doctor yet in my opinion, but Moffat's writting is all about hype and one-shots, it never delievered anything. "I win. How about that?" They don't write these like this no nmore.

[@robertslipek7311]

the line in 'Into the Dalek' means something completely different. 'good' is used here as in 'functional' or 'efficient'. the doctor would make a good dalek because he's bloodthirsty. in into the dalek, the dalek is telling the doctor that, like him, he is a dalek TURNED good (good, as in, kind, nice, etc). idk why so many doctor who fans completely misread this.

@@Vlorsutes There is explanation for that too, but it only works up to series 9: The doctor is a part of their history, he saves Davors, without Davros, they don't exist or survive.

[@undead_corsair]

This is still probably the best exchange between the Doctor and a Dalek. For him to argue the Dalek into a corner, trying to force it to accept the pointlessness of its existence because all it has to live for is hatred and then the Dalek to get the psychological upperhand by turning it back on him. Genius writing.

The genuine sadness and self-pity in the Dalek asking the Doctor "Then what should I do?" is such a beautiful little moment. The Daleks are often characterised as mindless killer robots, but that moment, of the Dalek questioning its existential purpose, asking its worst enemy what to do in the face of the destruction of its entire species, is an excellent reminder of why it is an imperative that writers treat them as thinking beings.

“You would make a good Dalek”- Dalek from the episode “Dalek” “I am not a good Dalek, you are a good Dalek” -Rusty Which come to think about it, the Doctor would really be a good Dalek. Since he/she is the most feared person in the universe..

[@knightofarkronia9968]

Plus, there’s the intense hatred that flows through the Doctor’s veins. The Daleks only find beauty in hate. Perhaps there’s a reason why they’ve never been able to kill the Doctor...

[@thebumblebeemovie3514]

What would’ve been equally as hard is if the doctor despite hate was willing to offer the bot hope of a new purpose, telling it to protect what is good and destroy what seeks to only destroy for the sake of causing destruction but the dalek takes up his offer the wrong way and kills itself, reasoning since it was created for the purpose of destroying simply to destroy that it itself needed to be destroyed
