Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
A mutual of mine told me to post this Doctor Who analysis I wrote of season 1, episode 6: Dalek.
"You would make a good Dalek" Right now, the doctor has just fought the last time war, his species is seemingly all dead expect him. And yet, the creature- that machine that still persists - tells him that he would be one of the "good" of their species for telling it bluntly to kill itself.
As much as the doctor is all for saving lives, we see a much darker version of him, literally and figuratively, through the lens of a Dalek.
Throughout the whole episode we see the masterfully put together story of how the Dalek and the doctor are in some extraordinary way, the same. The doctor can deny it all he wants, but it is the truth in this moment. And it crushes him. Because he also must believe he should be dead as well as the Dalek. A soldier with no orders.
