Who is the One in a Million Dalek?

[@teddyboucher1848]

I love Daleks rebelling against their nature. I personally think all daleks have the possibility for change very deep within them.

[@tidmouthmilk12]

This dalek must've influenced the daleks from that 2004 KitKat advert shouting "Peace and love!"

[@whatislife7363]

I think what's most interesting is that this Dalek wasn't immediately destroyed. I do think that the TV series would massively benefit from Daleks being more compassionate and reasonable to other Daleks with a little more expression.

[@dalekbumps]

@@whatislife7363 it's a fascinating aspect of the original Dalek comics, the quirk that they seem a lot more reasonable and almost personable. The Emperor in particular. It's possibly just a quirk of the early Dalek characterisation, after all the Daleks did act very differently in their first episode, to the extent that the recent colourised version actually redubbed a lot of the dialogue to remove most of the un-Dalek-like lines. It would be interesting to see a Dalek character in the modern show who displayed more of these traits

[@mandyward5372]

​@@dalekbumpsWould this Dalek have been silver and blue like in the 60s or would it have been dark grey like in the pictures?

[@dalekbumps]

@@mandyward5372 it's not clear, this particular comic comes from a strange phase of the TV 21 comics where the standard Dalek design was wildly inconsistent compared to how they appear on TV - whether that's a stylistic choice or an indication that their design changed over time is unclear

[@robstoppablecosplay]

Fascinating I'd never heard of this Dalek before until now very interesting video.

[@ЮлияПопова-ч5ю8х]

Moisturised, unbothered, in his lane, cottagecore Dalek

[@AnubisX1]

I loved that strip, just seeing daleks going round wearing flowers is cool. Also the one in a million dalek has a interesting casing. In some of the close ups his neck rings are different to others. the top half is a normal neck but the bottom part the mesh bit isnt visible, its a solid bit of metal. Have you done a video on the Masters of War Daleks in the unbound universe? I recently re listened to that audio and forgot how good it is, and that Davros created 2 races of Daleks, the first which would be known as renegades are the standard type of Dalek in the main universe, but the 2nd race which the doctor encountered on Skaro had pity and mercy. They also sought to protect the thals in a typical dalek way but not as dictators as a twisted guardians. They could also be reasoned with and did enter in a sort of peace with the thals.. I found them to be a really interesting take on the Daleks.

[@Here_is_Waldo]

Originally the Daleks were meant to have a civilisation, with artists and gardeners. This chap would have fit right in.

[@nejdalej]

I admire it. It has the courage to stand up against the Dalek regime in such a unique way. Not out of a hatred of the Daleks or an identity crisis but through an appreciation of the world around it. I think that's something we could all learn from. ❤

[@duncankilburn7612]

The Dalek unit is constrained by both the machine programming and the genetic tampering introduced by Davros to the mutant. Very occasionally there would be a rogue element, either software failure or a mutation back to a more balanced Kaled mind. Dalek inquisitors would hunt these down.

[@reeceemms1643]

Would love to see another Rogue Dalek character.

[@helloimRupert]

I really like the art style of this comic

[@anton2192]

It must be the Dalek Scientists' job to root out these defectives.

[@dalekbumps]

@anton2192 the Dalek Scientists definitely play a role in detecting non-conformities like this, and I imagine there's also a special class of Dalek like the Death Squad who hunt them down and exterminate them. Possibly a Dalek Inquisitor or Executioner

[@Meritania]

Dalek Detectives for the defectives.

[@JRHainsworth]

I actually first heard about this dalek from a MestortheMagnificent stop motion animation.

[@android65mar]

I always thought it was interesting that in that storyline Daleks had quarters- strange to think of there being dalek cribs!

[@matteomascaropennacchi2220]

I would love for BBC to include The floral DALEK along side showing us The DALEK factory again, I Also Love how the DALEKS are created

[@LULU-animate]

I actually kinda want to see more rogue Daleks like this, not ones that are just ‘Must exterminate all Daleks!’, but ones that simply just admire the world around them or enjoy things like flowers. I think it’d be interesting if we saw a similar rogue Dalek in the show.

[@Solidsnakeprime501]

This is nice coz it helps to flesh out that perhaps the Spy Dalek from power of the doctor was one such anomaly, perhaps not obvious for a long time as its brain reasoned out the realisation that the Dalek mission deviated from their original created purpose.

[@ekij133]

The path to perfection is littered with scratched souls.

[@8LiterallyJustTheNumber8]

If 1 in every million daleks is inflicted with this "insanity," as long as the daleks commit the insane ones to the assylum there would be no problem. However, once the Daleks achieved Time Travel, they'd likely have come to regret not outright exterminating them, because it would only take 1 rogue dalek to collect an army of rogues from theoughout history, and grow a faction of rogues to start a civil war.

[@ImmortalAbsol]

I almost find it more surprising it was able to sway others.

[@DoctorWhoGaming100]

Do you have a list of other rogue daleks that you plan to do videos on?

[@gamingmawdsley5142]

As strange of a dalek as it is the one in a million dalek is actually a great idea for a dalek character

[@mandyward5372]

What colour scheme do you think it uses? Like because this was in the 60s do you reckon it would have been silver and blue?

[@gamingmawdsley5142]

@@mandyward5372I think so but with flowers on its casing of course

[@RealMagmaDash]

it's interesting that the dalek emperor had a somewhat open mind about this, had the "rebel" daleks not exterminated a fellow dalek it may be possible that they could have swayed the emperor and altered the beliefs of the daleks / the dalek regime as a whole

[@badwolf9090]

I like this because Daleks aren't robots. They do have crude emotions, they are I suppose like the SS. Yes, they follow orders, but they're all still individual even if they all believe in the same thing.

[@59rlmccormack]

Flower Daleks are going to be funny in the future.

[@mattatobin]

So rather than a humanized Dalek we had a Kaled (or Dal depending on changes in the timeline) regression.

[@ZOMBiFOX13]

Rip flowey the dalek

[@grahamturner1290]

[@redjirachi1]

I like to think stuff like this is when the mental conditioning Davros bio-engineered is inactive either due to a genetic anomaly (this Dalek) or something strong enough to deactivate it (Caan). The Kaleds were fascists but they were still mentally human, though like humans they had their sociopaths (Davros)

[@JakeandElwood1980]

Or a one million dollar original dalek

[@njfox3305]

Its possible.

[@Dumb850]

Why do daleks have to hate everything

[@dalekbumps]

@@Dumb850 to make a long story short, Daleks hate everything because they're emotionally unstable fascists programmed to detest all other forms of life that aren't like them

[@robotx9285]

Micro Answer: They're built to hate.
