Well, they are a race of mutated octopus humanoids born with no emotions except hatred and rage with a hunger for war inside an almost indestructible shell designed for war, so it makes sense that their weapons would have multiple functions
They've actually limited its uses, in Classic Who, it had varying intensity, capable of temporarily or permanently crippling people as well as killing a whole room, and rapid fire
Come on, It's more logical to aim where you know that you will hit, that and the officer thought that he knew best. But I agree, atleast one should have hit that one spot if only by accident.
Remoniq there's always some bastard that thinks he knows best! "I think I know how to fight a single robot" No you don't! I do! And do I have any military experience? Does Call Of Duty count? If not, no!
9 seasons of NuWho, a 50th anniversary special, and no Dalek episode has topped this one. Stoic. Cold. Calculating. Silent. Alone. Deadly. Brutally effective. When there are scores of Daleks you know they will die, but this lone soldier was much more intimidating
@@fredhagen-gates8091 Which is why no Dalek episode should ever have more than one. This Dalek should've remained the last one and been a recurring villain like the Master.
Justin Nguyen esspecially when the make that one esspecially threatening, its a shame they did the same thing to the reapers they did to the Daleks which is they made them less and less threatening as the series progressed
@@themadhammer3305 well that's cause in ME3 their using reversed engineered tech taking from sovereign wreak. and the destroyer's are too small to face craft that are only 3 to 5 gen's behind their own ( to account for ineffective reversed engineering, down sizing and damage to the parts they where studying) which being twice their size at least
Love the attention to detail on how a Dalek can efficiently dispose of its enemies. It could've blasted them all individually, but instead it recognised the emergency fire suppression systems and chose to use its weapon to electrocute them. Gotta hand it to Davros, but he made his Daleks pretty intelligent as far as warriors are concerned.
TheSkully343 also because the Dalek new that despite the number of people shooting they couldn't do any damage it had all the time in the world to create the perfect scenario to kill them all
THIS is what the Daleks should be like. Seeing just one kill all those people showed how powerful they really are, ingraining us with the idea we can never fight back, instead just run the other way, and that's terrifying! It's stupid how they get kicked across rooms now and I don't think they've had any significance in the show since Journey's End. Also what happened to their shields??
This is the Daleks at their best. They haven't been this horrifyingly brutal since _Parting of the Ways_ . It's one of the few times the Daleks have recaptured their creepiness since 1963. All this scene needs is the haunting music from their first serial.
davros always creeped me out, he needs to make a comeback.. that guy invested eons into becoming a real asshole.. plus he has a great back story that can be worked around.. it was the thals that were originally the aggressors, the daleks being muted into their present form.. they were peaceful philosophers originally.. irony at it s best
Haha, Classic Daleks were a joke. Series 1 is the only time they've been dangerous and they haven't even been remotely threatening outside the RTD era.
Except for Doomsday. The way the Cybermen were established, seeing them as helpless against the Daleks as humans are was awe-inspiring. "We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?" "Four" "You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?" "We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek!" Well, that and Resolution; which is, sort of, a throwback to this
Technically this is the Daleks at their worst. This little bugger who's been busted down, locked up and rotting before finally deciding to break out. Still able to cause so much destruction.
Actually, if you think about it, the only other time the Daleks have been this scary is in "Resolution" and "Revolution of the Daleks". One thing Chris Chibnall did that Steve Moffat couldn't: make the Daleks scary again.
“I think I know how to handle one tin robot”. It’s an alien killing machine, and you’re ignoring the advice of the one man who actually knows about it. You cretin.
for me what makes the daleks so smart is how intelligent and effective they are at killing. A normal monster would just engage in a shootout but the dalek waits for the soldiers to run out of ammo, sets off the sprinklers then shoots the floor to eletrocute everyone on the ground. It specifically chooses the most efficient and calculated way to kill everyone in the room, I love it.
i think the thing i like most about this is that this isnt a standard dalek thing to do, especially compared to what it did before. before it was shooting all over the place, practically enjoying it. but here you can see that its slow, almost hesitant, to kill these people and instead of doing it to the most enjoyment it does it to the most efficient. roses DNA was already effecting it here, its almost like it was waiting for them to stop firing, to turn and run away, because it almost didnt want to kill them.
i feel like if daleks were never in doctor who theyd make a great addition to star wars. Either as their own faction on skaro in the unknown regions or Davros is an imperial scientist, injured in the clone wars and creates them from the mutated remains of human test subjects. With a matt white finish, Black hemispheres and the imperial insignia on the side of its dome.
A single Time War Dalek was so powerful it could wipe out humanity because there are no weapons current humans have in the present that can even harm the Dalek. Not even nuclear weapons could kill it. Honestly if you put the Time War Daleks into the Warhammer 40K verse, they'd roflstomp the other races.
@@madgavin7568 i mean, theyre literally just beings made of pure hatred for all other life that isnt dalek, and then they were given effectively indestructible overpowered mini tanks that could fly. of course theyre going to wipe the floor with 40k races.
@@MichelleW870 Few fictional sci-fi races in general could wipe the floor with a 40K race let alone the whole lot. The Dalek Empire is a notable exception.
Thank God this was uploaded in 2016! If it was 2012 or earlier, that dalek would've downloaded the Internet, found this video, see his own future and cause some really "wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff!"
"Dalek scientists devised guns that did not merely kill, they would exterminate. To kill suggests something respectful; one rids the body of life, but at the end of the process it may still be recognizable. To exterminate is something altogether different. To destroy from within so completely that no trace will be left, nothing that can be identifiable."
I think the thing about this scene is how much time was given to it. In a fourty-five minute episode almost five of them were given to the Dalek here. Shots linger and there are a lot of silent moments punctuated either by gunfire or music. And at the end. No talking. Just the charecter reactions.
Back then the Daleks were terrifying. Showing up once in a while in a huge way. As good as Matt Smith was as the Doctor, the writers during those years made the Daleks into a joke.
Yeah remember when that Dalek begged for mercy with River Song? That never sat well with me, Daleks don't (or shouldn't have) a concept of mercy, they're meant to be ruthless killing machines who accept the fact they may die in their duty to exterminate all non-Daleks. The other stories made them less threatening as well.
@@tTaseric chibnal made them worse Daleks Learn, Daleks are patient, exit the ascension device ect luckily rtd is back so hopefully the Daleks are terrifying again
@@AssassinIsAfk I think Chibnall's Daleks were pretty great in all of their appearances. Far better than Moffat's IMO. RTD also writes the Daleks really well too.
@@tTaseric I just think chibnals daleks sounded fucking dumb saying daleks learn and daleks are patient honestly Moffat's daleks where stupid they could of easily killed the doctor twice but they didn't which honestly sucks but then again it would of killed the show as well whilst Chibnals daleks where sort of better but they where also dumb, such as when the doctor brings the daleks to earth to kill the security drone daleks we don't see the daleks killing any humans or invading earth ontop of this opportunity which is something the daleks would of totally done and they didn't kill that American guy which they should of also done in revolution of the daleks. RTD at least showed the brutality of the daleks whilst the moffat somewhat showed the brutality of the daleks in day of the doctor but then failed in other episodes and chibnal also tried to show the brutality of the daleks and failed.
You know what we never see anymore. Intelligent Dalek's like this one. These days they're just blunt instruments screaming exterminate and shooting at anything in sight. This one calculated a billion combinations, absorbed the internet, was creative in how it killed and used Rose as leverage to open the vault. We've seen no real Dalek intelligence since this episode. We're supposed to believe these things can beat the time lords right.
Resolution had a pretty intelligent Recon Dalek, The Cult of Skaro were born to be brainiacs and Rusty hard wired himself into the centre of the universe
@dang I always found it a weakness with Doctor Who that the Doctor never seems to be allowed to lose. Sure he can lose things, and he can fail to save as many people as he wants, but he is never utterly defeated by an enemy to the point where there is nothing he can do to fix it. I think it would make the show far more interesting if the Doctor lost, just once or twice per season.
History repeating itself I guess The Daleks during the 60s were cold and calculative (for the most part) They were reduced to grunts at best and minor almost comical obstacles at their worst The 2000s series brought back that notion of fear they were known for, but then the production staff just ran out of steam with them after Davies' departure. I guess having to obligate a repeated usage clause with the Terry Nation estate would do that
+Killer Joy, What was that even supposed to mean? Are you saying the British would just do this on a British show due to having, what it seems from what you are saying, some 'problem' with the ''americas'' as you said? (Americans) Presumably, from the USA, and nowhere else in the Americas North-South? lol *Remember this: even the mighty Time Lords were terrified by the Daleks in the end* and not even their brilliance and ingenuity could stop them. Even 1 let loose on a Time Lord city (e.g. Arcadia) would be catastrophic, in the Time Lord's own evaluations. In short summary; the Daleks were like that one enemy who wouldn't leave them alone and wouldn't be outwitted. The scarier part being, that in a game of wits and technology, the Time Lords had been thought of as peerless, the best, by basically nearly the entire universe (those even smart enough to be able to perceive and merely but see the Gallifreyans, most species were so much lesser in standing and technology, they didn't even know the Gallifreyans or Time Lords among them even existed) - but the Daleks were like a thuggish bully who became just as intelligent as his victim (whereas the Time Lords became brutal madmen and monsters themselves in the struggle) Metaphorically speaking, the Time Lords were damn near celestial, and the Daleks were more like monstrous upstarts, the Gallifreyans being one of if not the very, very oldest sentient species in the universe. Daleks rose to rival them in war and brought death on a scale the Time Lords hadn't witnessed since the Great Vampires, eons before. In the *Last Great Time War* all the millions of Battle TARDISes were eventually destroyed prior to the end of the war, and unexplained horrors marred the Gallifreyan civilization. Countless Gallifreyans and other races had been killed in the billions score. It was said that at the height of the war every second millions were dying and being resurrected in an unholy, merciless path of sheer madness and cruelty. Even the Daleks and Time Lords were disorientated and confused by the sheer mess they were making. It was very tough to know what the hell was going on. The Time Lords themselves needed to Time Lock themselves into the war in fear of the universe being destroyed in the carnage. It has been regarded as a 400 year long linear war, but in truth every nanosecond in time from the beginning of the universe to its end, and damn near every galaxy in the universe in every time setting, were viable battlegrounds. It was not a 400 year war in truth, but an eternal war that technically might not be over. It makes all other wars (even the Sontaran-Rutan War which has apparently lasted millions of years in a linear sense) look tiny. Most powers e.g. Sontarans and Cybermen were small fry compared to both Daleks and Time Lords, in tech terms. They called on every desperate measure save for The Moment; which could have ended the war quickly, but even the crazed dictator Rassilon dared not deploy this ultimate weapon, as it had its own conscience and before destroying anything would hold both sides of the war in judgment; in other words even the Time Lords knew it would probably kill everyone, in disgust at both sides. The Daleks forced the once invincible Time Lords onto the defensive and clearly outnumbered them badly in the end. By the looks of things, the Time Lords and regular Gallifreyans were reduced to purely defensive measures and being pushed right back to Gallifrey. Strong enough to hold them off, but certain to die in a bloody mess. That is where the Doctor reluctantly had to step in. M.A.D was on the cards even prior to this, but it looked as though the Daleks were winning. He does mention the Time Lords losing the war; though always adding in his memories of the war that, ''everyone lost''. He didn't want to risk any Daleks living/or living at least in some strong numbers, even if it meant killing what little remained of his own people in the process. It was a war for all creation, and its supposed greatest power, lost. Though, technically everyone did. In the Gallifreyan city (2nd biggest on Gallifrey) of *Arcadia* the mighty Gallifreyans openly instructed the soldiers in their military that *just one Dalek breaching the 400 Sky Trenches over Arcadia could wipe everyone out* literally even the mad, propagandistic reign of the resurrected dictator Rassilon (Rassilon, along with Omega, having begun the Time Lord line, founding it eons before the war) didn't lie to the men about this - it was common knowledge just put out there with every intention of scaring the shit out of everyone to fight harder, that just a single measly Dalek could slaughter the entire city. It was also boasted that Arcadia would never fall with its 400 Sky Trenches protecting the noble city. Only individual Sky Trench(es) - it isn't known how they, when they or how many fell, prior to the Fall of Arcadia - were overwhelmed, with this drawn from the logic that the Gallifreyans boasted that *nobody and nothing ever got through 2 Sky Trenches* in one effort. What Sky Trenches even are exactly in their nature, isn't known (I have many ideas on it, but suffice it to say they must logically interlock and support each other if used in numbers) When Arcadia fell, 400 Sky Trenches were defeated and breached, seemingly at the same time by the Daleks. The Time Lords were reduced to mostly infantry tactics and shielding technology, losing all their Battle Tardis units by this point. Some powerful bowships remained but even they didn't save Arcadia. In the event, thousands of Daleks broke into Arcadia by air, in their flying legions. The poor Gallifreyans were petrified of just one doing so, remember. So honestly, this isn't some jab at the USA by British TV producers :') lol *Everyone* fears the Daleks in the DW universe. Even/especially the Doctor himself (and the Daleks are afraid of him more than anyone or anything else)
No, it's just you wouldn't focus on praising the skills of a foreign entity more than your own. Plus normally Americans are background characters in Doctor Who. Kind of like you guys staring in an American action movie it doesn't appeal to the target audience. All I'm saying is that British shows will focus more attention on British characters than expendable American ones who aren't crucial to the plot. Also like I said those Mercanaries had bad guns.
Oh calm down, why do you even care? I can tell your little ego is hurt over the paranoid ideas you've went on about. Nobody cares. Like, literally nobody. Also, your argument is totally invalidated by the fact that British TV programme - longest running sci-fi in the world from 1963-present - is full of events and scenes in which British soldiers/special forces are killed. See Battle of Canary Wharf. See UNIT VS the Sontarans. See Daleks killing British soldiers in multiple eras in the series, e.g. how WWII era British soldiers are killed by the ''Ironsides'' project Daleks. See the British Torchwood armed forces being killed by both Cybermen and Daleks. See the many, many times when British people die in various messed up ways in Doctor Who. There are literally children getting slaughtered in it in some. Then you get a rage boner over some dumb, arrogant (spot on accuracy lol) and overconfident US special ops getting wiped out by 1 Dalek doing what Daleks do best? You do realise you can pretend to divert attention away from your rage as much as you like, but I see right through it. If it didn't make you mad, you wouldn't bother. Pretending otherwise, won't work on me kid. The *Daleks are the nemesis of the Time Lords* let alone some weak little squad of soldiers with nothing but light infantry weapons. They were doomed the moment the Dalek engaged them. Remember how Arcadia, the 2nd city of Gallifrey, the Time Lord planet itself, was afraid of even just *one* Dalek slipping past their defence grid of sky trenches. Just one, they knew, might kill everyone there. They were a devastating force on the battlefield, so deadly that even the Time Lords had no choice but to begrudgingly acknowledge their destructive proficiency. Ironically, the mighty Time Lords had spent millions of years stagnating as a military power in conventional terms, with all Gallifreyans more or less relying on their overwhelming intellectual strengths, individually and culturally. They were without doubt a class apart among the races of the universe, and among the very eldest of all civilizations in any part of it. They were at god-like status, with clear superiority of technology, wisdom and science above everyone else. Their knowledge and understanding was immense, and in the Whoniverse, Time Lords invented black holes, among many other things. But for all that, even they had a weakness, and it came via being too successful for their own good. In a form of latent arrogance and complacency, the Time Lords grew so powerful that they stepped away from interacting with the universe much anymore, preserving their own agendas and reserving themselves literally, observing the universe while vowing to continue improving themselves. However, this lasted eons. Time Lord society was a literal dictatorship for 10 million years straight. Just try to imagine that. They were rightly considered untouchable. No other alien race came even remotely close to how profound and wise they were; nor how lofty or cruel in ways. And, they knew it. But that was until the Daleks rose to prominence. A vile upstart that seemed a nuisance at first, but before long even the most arrogant of the Time Lords knew that this was no mere passing threat. They were an evil worse than anything else in the universe, so vile and abhorrent on every level, that it was obvious they'd settle at nothing less than the annihilation of the Gallifreyans, including all the houses of the Time Lords. They were geniuses, in more of a statistical and horrifyingly robotic way, husks of biological life, more tragic in their origins than even the similar cold story of the Cybermen. They were inelegant monstrosities whose only purpose was to enact xenophobic genocide on everything that wasn't them. They even dabbled in time travel themselves, snapping at the heels of the mighty Time Lords. Considering all this, they still might not seem able to stand up to the Time Lords, and I honestly believe the Time Lords still had far more horrific weapons in a superweapon sense that is. In terms of superweapons, make no mistake *not even the Daleks would come close* e.g. the Moment which could destroy a galaxy in literally 1 second. Nothing else anyone else made even comes close. The Time Lords were even thinking of enabling the ''Ultimate Sanction'', to destroy the time vortex itself and the fabric of space and time, while transcending into becoming beings of pure thought and spirit, while the universe literally fell apart everywhere, killing everything. Some ''victory'', but it shows how superior the Time Lords were to everything else. *BUT* in terms of conventional warfare, they'd spent so long with their head in the clouds (or nebulae) that they'd lost sight of old school battle tactics as they moved on. This is as far as I can tell anyway. They were at a disadvantage versus Daleks in gunfights. From what we see, the Gallifreyan soldiers were more everyday and less, ethereal and almighty than the elitist culture surrounding the Time Lords. It was almost like a caste system. Most would have armour which wouldn't stop Dalek weapon blasts, and energy weapons/blaster rifles which, while certainly highly advanced for what they were and probably the best things of that kind anywhere in the universe (making Sontaran or Cybermen weapons look like toys) still didn't seem to damage the Daleks too much. It also clearly seems as though the Daleks heavily outnumbered the Gallifreyans altogether, let alone just the Time Lords. This is where the totalitarian monstrosity of Dalek militarism is most keenly felt; in their case, practically every single unit is a potential killing machine. Even the lowliest drones among them were terrifying if they got loose in a settlement. Genocidal freaks with no remorse. So when they went to war, they *all* fought. This is rare in most cultures and species, as even the Gallifreyans also demonstrate; there are many kinds of people in their society, and most aren't even soldiers or commanders. Logically, most will be civilians fulfilling civilian roles. Their highly civilised culture encouraged this, obviously. They'd never faced a foe as determined and bloody minded as the persistent evil of the Daleks. It took an army of Gallifreyan infantry to overpower one Dalek in conventional battle, and the Daleks swarmed in the millions. Little wonder then that the Time Lords seemed to think more about superweapons than conventional ones. The Last Great Time War lasted over 400 years in linear time, roughly, and *literal infinity* in reality, with every time zone, corner of the universe and every major race involved in some way (knowingly or not) Entire races were wiped out, and otherwise very powerful species, were just pawns on the chess board - or were simply pitiable victims caught in the crossfire between both the Time Lords and Daleks. Alien powers we'd consider as super-beings, were small fry to both at the Time Lords and the Daleks. Entire empires, dynasties and species were swatted like flies in the maelstrom of the LGTW. Every second billions were dying across the depths of time, on all sides. The scale of the bloodshed and destruction is so immense even the Time Lords were disorientated by the scale of it. A sickening cycle of slaughter. Time Lords would die and be resurrected over and over again, just to die again. Battles would be fought, re-fought and continued again and again. Millions died this way alone. Cities were obliterated, planets destroyed, star systems devastated. A war so brutal and chaotic that the Doctor has nightmares about it even if he stays still for too long while awake, let alone when he sleeps. Ultimately, the once fabled and beloved, mysterious Time Lords, were grown to be generally hated as much as the Daleks. A bitter universe of lower tier alien powers, grew to envy and despise what was happening in different ways. By the end of the war, both sides lost. So just remember, the Daleks aren't just your average DW villain. They are arguably *the* DW villain.
One thing that always bothered me was how Rose knew that the Dalek was looking at her when it was far away from her. There's no way she could've seen the Daleks eye focus in on her from that distance.
i think that scene was more to foreshadow that there was a living thing inside the dalek looking at her. you can generally feel when someone is looking at you specifically so i think that was the purpose of that scene. the zoom in just made it more obvious to the viewer
Idiot guard: Thank you Doctor but I think I know how to fight one single tin robot. Doctor: Oh really well my people have fought them in a war for centuries and I was on the front line of that war so maybe the stupid humans with their toy guns should listen to the alien who’s people invented time travel and manage to do a better job fighting this tin robot.
It is amazing how intelligent the dalek in this episode was, and sad to see how they have went downhill since. My headcanon is that the daleks had to reduce standards of production as the time war went on, so a lot of the daleks were made without shields and without the intelligence usually expected.
What I like is that they surround it. If their bullets did penetrate, they would have passed through and hit each other. Or even if someone just had bad aim... The most basic error when creating an ambush.
I guess the field commander didn't know how to fight a Dalek after all... Let that be a lesson for you kids... When it comes to dealing with Daleks... Always trust your Doctor!
so judging from this scene, I theorise that extermination is just a blast of electricity so powerful that it shuts down your entire nervous system when it shocks you.
Lewis Price According to the wiki and numerous canon sources including Doctor Who novels and comics, the cause of death from a Dalek ray is “massive internal disruption”, so you’ve got it exactly right. The energy is mostly electricity and it basically shuts down your bodily systems. To quote the Seventh Doctor, “it scrambles your insides up!”.
I believe it's more that just electricity, the way their skeletons light up, it's a massive blast of gamma radiation, the heat of which creates a stream of plasma for conducting the massive surge of electricity Their targets are both irradiated and electrocuted
I watched series 1-4 as a child, barely remembered any of the episodes on rewatch 7 years later. This, Blink, and Midnight are the only 3 I could remember what was going to happen in what order. This episode is that memorable.

aran carr-brown It's a bit hard to explain, but each character seems to have this goldenish glow outlining them. It's quite apparent in the NewWho early series but is mostly gone by 3.
One aspect that gets criminally over looked is the effect of the time war on the daleks. They go from being rekt by ace woth a bar to unstoppable tanks. Could be an interesting topic to touch upon the effects of conflict on technological development in a future episode. Then again chibs is the showrunner so it’s probably for the best he leaves any interesting concepts to literally anyone else.
C'mon man, You have to admit Chibnall has done the first interesting thing with the Daleks since 2009. Moffat was bloody awful at writing for them, Chibnall's 2 Dalek stories have had conflicting tones, but the presentation of the Daleks were amazing.
@@tTaseric agreed. I'd take any of Chibnall's three Dalek specials over the trash Moffat did with them. To be honest, looking back I'm not really impressed by Russell's work with them either. He wrote three Dalek episodes, all of which basically had the same story. Parting of the Ways was excellent, but Doomsday and Journey's End just repeat the same story beats. I'll never forgive RTD for turning the Daleks into a joke at the end of Journey's End either. Chibnall wrote them to be consistently menacing, angry and merciless, as they should be.
Very brilliant and methodical play by a single Dalek. Activate the water sprinklers by firing his gunwhisk at the fire control panel first, and then firing at the wet floor, electrocuting and frying the lower-floor soldiers in one go. Damn.
"Thank you, Doctor, but I think I know how to fight one single tin robot." Proceeds to shoot at the tin robot - who has already massacred around a dozen soldiers with ease, don't forget - with bullets. Survival of the least moronic in this episode.
One thing I always love about the Dalek here and something I wish was done more often is how unusually quiet he is. Throughout the entire segment of him breaking out of his imprisonment and slaughtering everyone he barely ever speaks. Daleks are almost always loud and bombastic, especially when killing, but seeing one do it without saying a single word is just so much more unsettling and intimidating. The scene where he hovers up the stairs while silently staring at them is the best example of this and easily the scariest Dalek moment in the entire series Imo. Don't get me wrong I love how hammy the Daleks usually are, but it does take away a bit of their scare factor most of the time.
A bunch of monkeys: *fires cute little bullets at just a single little tin robot* Single little tin robot: "Um... yah.... I give up, what are you even doing?"
Can we appreciate how this one Dalek has killed more humans in 3 minutes than the entire Dalek race has in the last few seasons? Also. Call me crazy. But I don't think the Dalek even noticed the guards ate first. It's like they go out of their way to show how dark the room was in the Dalek's POV.
I like the music playing from 0:12 to 0:17 as the doctor give tips and instructions 0:54 entrace music for the Grim Reaper And i especially just love the music playing from 3:18 onward to the end it reminds me of the funeral music from Snow White
Remember when seems like this used to make a sphere the Daleks. I mean back at the end of the season when there was that entire army I’m sure almost all of us dropped on jaws just fearing what an entire fleet of these killing machines could do it
"It wants us to see."
I like that. The Dalek's like "I'm about to do something really awesome to kill all these guys. Be impressed!".
@Moment Mission Studios Obviously hes a fan of Dr Who.
More like “This is what one Dalek can do, imagine what an entire army can do!”
APPRECIATE!

Louie Clarke Even if they did hit the eye it would take a lot more hits and a miracle to penetrate it.
This episode was the first episode i ever saw of the Daleks, and it made me fear them so much.
Remoniq this episode pretty much re-established the Daleks as a threat rather than a loud, bumble trash can
Same here.
Also "Aww, alien killer robot, can't handle a flight of stairs" "ELEVATE"
You are right to fear The Daleks. Nothing will save you
First episode i ever saw the daleks as well but made left me in awe and inspired my gamer tag
9 seasons of NuWho, a 50th anniversary special, and no Dalek episode has topped this one. Stoic. Cold. Calculating. Silent. Alone. Deadly. Brutally effective.
When there are scores of Daleks you know they will die, but this lone soldier was much more intimidating
intrestedinallthings conservation of ninjutsu, when there is only one it is unstoppable, when they are many they are easily killed
like the first Alien movie...
Still cool tho

Or the Xenomorphs in Aliens
The amount of Chad energy coming from the Dalek in this scene is overwhelming.
Not Chad energy just efficient.
Well it was a soldier Dalek from the time war, for him it was like playing a game on easy mode
Love the attention to detail on how a Dalek can efficiently dispose of its enemies.
It could've blasted them all individually, but instead it recognised the emergency fire suppression systems and chose to use its weapon to electrocute them.
Gotta hand it to Davros, but he made his Daleks pretty intelligent as far as warriors are concerned.
TheSkully343 also because the Dalek new that despite the number of people shooting they couldn't do any damage it had all the time in the world to create the perfect scenario to kill them all
Effeciently. For me it looked like he wanted to kill them in the most painful way
THIS is what the Daleks should be like. Seeing just one kill all those people showed how powerful they really are, ingraining us with the idea we can never fight back, instead just run the other way, and that's terrifying! It's stupid how they get kicked across rooms now and I don't think they've had any significance in the show since Journey's End.
Also what happened to their shields??
Yeah when Missy touched one of the Dalek's orbs making a stupid genital joke, I wanted the Dalek's shielding to melt her hand off like it should have.
Gamelover254
I get the feeling it only affects bullets and bolts, as otherwise they'd never be able to use their own technology or hold anything.
The daleks were ruined in the Smith & Capaldi years
It's an adaptation of a big finish story Jubilee I believe
@@Gamelover254 I was too lmao
Wow... that might just be the most competent Dalek in the universe...
Yeah they used to be that way :/
Inverse Ninja Law. Whenever theres less of something, it's always more threatening.
This is the Daleks at their best. They haven't been this horrifyingly brutal since _Parting of the Ways_ .
It's one of the few times the Daleks have recaptured their creepiness since 1963. All this scene needs is the haunting music from their first serial.
davros always creeped me out, he needs to make a comeback.. that guy invested eons into becoming a real asshole.. plus he has a great back story that can be worked around.. it was the thals that were originally the aggressors, the daleks being muted into their present form.. they were peaceful philosophers originally.. irony at it s best
Haha, Classic Daleks were a joke. Series 1 is the only time they've been dangerous and they haven't even been remotely threatening outside the RTD era.
Except for Doomsday. The way the Cybermen were established, seeing them as helpless against the Daleks as humans are was awe-inspiring.
"We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?"
"Four"
"You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?"
"We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek!"
Well, that and Resolution; which is, sort of, a throwback to this
Technically this is the Daleks at their worst. This little bugger who's been busted down, locked up and rotting before finally deciding to break out. Still able to cause so much destruction.
Actually, if you think about it, the only other time the Daleks have been this scary is in "Resolution" and "Revolution of the Daleks". One thing Chris Chibnall did that Steve Moffat couldn't: make the Daleks scary again.
Doctor: "Aim for the eye stalk thats its weakness!"
*aims everywhere else but the head*
and pays for it with his life and the rest of his group
“I think I know how to handle one tin robot”. It’s an alien killing machine, and you’re ignoring the advice of the one man who actually knows about it. You cretin.
@@Tulf42 They died because of his supidity.
for me what makes the daleks so smart is how intelligent and effective they are at killing. A normal monster would just engage in a shootout but the dalek waits for the soldiers to run out of ammo, sets off the sprinklers then shoots the floor to eletrocute everyone on the ground. It specifically chooses the most efficient and calculated way to kill everyone in the room, I love it.
Daleks were bred to be machines of war, and eventually became one of the most dangerous and efficient weapons in the whole universe at doing so.
Plus it wants to see their fear as they realise that their attempts l to kill it are futile
Effiecent? More like the way to case as much pain before they die
They didn't have to use all those soldiers to deal with the Dalek. They just needed one person:
Ace
"Small Human female located!"
"Who are you calling small?!"
Intact!??
@@Cybermat47 for some reason your comment makes me sad and nostalgic...
@@Cybermat47 “under attack”
i think the thing i like most about this is that this isnt a standard dalek thing to do, especially compared to what it did before. before it was shooting all over the place, practically enjoying it. but here you can see that its slow, almost hesitant, to kill these people and instead of doing it to the most enjoyment it does it to the most efficient. roses DNA was already effecting it here, its almost like it was waiting for them to stop firing, to turn and run away, because it almost didnt want to kill them.
"Aw, shit! We ran out of ammo..." xD
As someone who really loves the Sith and the Empire, when I first saw this episode I absolutely loved Daleks too. He's just so badass.
i feel like if daleks were never in doctor who theyd make a great addition to star wars. Either as their own faction on skaro in the unknown regions or Davros is an imperial scientist, injured in the clone wars and creates them from the mutated remains of human test subjects. With a matt white finish, Black hemispheres and the imperial insignia on the side of its dome.
I remember when this episode was 7 years into the future back in 2005 and now it's 5 years into the past.
Yeah I wonder how that same dalek would do if it happened in this time
KP2003 The same shit would happen, it would wreck everything
Its now further away from 2012 than 2005 was to 2012 and thats...not comfortable.
12 years now...
Time War Daleks are pure nightmares, killing machines of such infinite caliber that they outclass even other Daleks
A single Time War Dalek was so powerful it could wipe out humanity because there are no weapons current humans have in the present that can even harm the Dalek. Not even nuclear weapons could kill it. Honestly if you put the Time War Daleks into the Warhammer 40K verse, they'd roflstomp the other races.
@@madgavin7568
i mean, theyre literally just beings made of pure hatred for all other life that isnt dalek, and then they were given effectively indestructible overpowered mini tanks that could fly. of course theyre going to wipe the floor with 40k races.
@@MichelleW870 Few fictional sci-fi races in general could wipe the floor with a 40K race let alone the whole lot. The Dalek Empire is a notable exception.
2:28 - Okay, that was pretty clever.
"The Daleks are genius" Earlier in that episode
Dalek: "YOUR PATHETIC WEAPONS CANNOT HARM ME!"
Thank God this was uploaded in 2016!
If it was 2012 or earlier, that dalek would've downloaded the Internet, found this video, see his own future and cause some really "wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff!"
Louie Clarke Ya and it probably hates spoilers.
louie you do know this was made in 2005 not 2012 right so he wouldn't have known using the internet
derpiest godzilla2016 The episode was set in 2012 America.
@@mrnightlyrandom6269 you do know that this episode is set in 2012......right
"Dalek scientists devised guns that did not merely kill, they would exterminate. To kill suggests something respectful; one rids the body of life, but at the end of the process it may still be recognizable. To exterminate is something altogether different. To destroy from within so completely that no trace will be left, nothing that can be identifiable."
I think the thing about this scene is how much time was given to it. In a fourty-five minute episode almost five of them were given to the Dalek here. Shots linger and there are a lot of silent moments punctuated either by gunfire or music. And at the end. No talking. Just the charecter reactions.
I love that close up shot of the dalek in the pouring water. Its so ominous at 3:08
Back then the Daleks were terrifying. Showing up once in a while in a huge way. As good as Matt Smith was as the Doctor, the writers during those years made the Daleks into a joke.
Steven Moffat really didn't get the Daleks at all, luckily Chibnall actually does so there's hope for the Daleks yet.
Yeah remember when that Dalek begged for mercy with River Song? That never sat well with me, Daleks don't (or shouldn't have) a concept of mercy, they're meant to be ruthless killing machines who accept the fact they may die in their duty to exterminate all non-Daleks. The other stories made them less threatening as well.
@@tTaseric chibnal made them worse Daleks Learn, Daleks are patient, exit the ascension device ect luckily rtd is back so hopefully the Daleks are terrifying again
@@AssassinIsAfk I think Chibnall's Daleks were pretty great in all of their appearances. Far better than Moffat's IMO.
RTD also writes the Daleks really well too.
@@tTaseric I just think chibnals daleks sounded fucking dumb saying daleks learn and daleks are patient honestly Moffat's daleks where stupid they could of easily killed the doctor twice but they didn't which honestly sucks but then again it would of killed the show as well whilst Chibnals daleks where sort of better but they where also dumb, such as when the doctor brings the daleks to earth to kill the security drone daleks we don't see the daleks killing any humans or invading earth ontop of this opportunity which is something the daleks would of totally done and they didn't kill that American guy which they should of also done in revolution of the daleks.
RTD at least showed the brutality of the daleks whilst the moffat somewhat showed the brutality of the daleks in day of the doctor but then failed in other episodes and chibnal also tried to show the brutality of the daleks and failed.
SOLDIERS: 1000 bullets were shot, no damage. DALEK: 2 lasers, killed everyone.
You know what we never see anymore. Intelligent Dalek's like this one. These days they're just blunt instruments screaming exterminate and shooting at anything in sight. This one calculated a billion combinations, absorbed the internet, was creative in how it killed and used Rose as leverage to open the vault. We've seen no real Dalek intelligence since this episode. We're supposed to believe these things can beat the time lords right.
@steve gale I think that was a low ranking one
Resolution had a pretty intelligent Recon Dalek, The Cult of Skaro were born to be brainiacs and Rusty hard wired himself into the centre of the universe
@dang I always found it a weakness with Doctor Who that the Doctor never seems to be allowed to lose. Sure he can lose things, and he can fail to save as many people as he wants, but he is never utterly defeated by an enemy to the point where there is nothing he can do to fix it. I think it would make the show far more interesting if the Doctor lost, just once or twice per season.
History repeating itself I guess
The Daleks during the 60s were cold and calculative (for the most part)
They were reduced to grunts at best and minor almost comical obstacles at their worst
The 2000s series brought back that notion of fear they were known for, but then the production staff just ran out of steam with them after Davies' departure. I guess having to obligate a repeated usage clause with the Terry Nation estate would do that
This dalek is a frickin genius
This is one of all time favorite episodes
Wow, Daleks were scary back then.
This proves that 1 dalek means we're fucked.
Jaxon Perry Well ya it's a British show. It doctor who americas suck. Plus those guns are horrible
+Killer Joy,
What was that even supposed to mean? Are you saying the British would just do this on a British show due to having, what it seems from what you are saying, some 'problem' with the ''americas'' as you said? (Americans) Presumably, from the USA, and nowhere else in the Americas North-South? lol
*Remember this: even the mighty Time Lords were terrified by the Daleks in the end* and not even their brilliance and ingenuity could stop them. Even 1 let loose on a Time Lord city (e.g. Arcadia) would be catastrophic, in the Time Lord's own evaluations.
In short summary; the Daleks were like that one enemy who wouldn't leave them alone and wouldn't be outwitted. The scarier part being, that in a game of wits and technology, the Time Lords had been thought of as peerless, the best, by basically nearly the entire universe (those even smart enough to be able to perceive and merely but see the Gallifreyans, most species were so much lesser in standing and technology, they didn't even know the Gallifreyans or Time Lords among them even existed) - but the Daleks were like a thuggish bully who became just as intelligent as his victim (whereas the Time Lords became brutal madmen and monsters themselves in the struggle)
Metaphorically speaking, the Time Lords were damn near celestial, and the Daleks were more like monstrous upstarts, the Gallifreyans being one of if not the very, very oldest sentient species in the universe. Daleks rose to rival them in war and brought death on a scale the Time Lords hadn't witnessed since the Great Vampires, eons before.
In the *Last Great Time War* all the millions of Battle TARDISes were eventually destroyed prior to the end of the war, and unexplained horrors marred the Gallifreyan civilization. Countless Gallifreyans and other races had been killed in the billions score.
It was said that at the height of the war every second millions were dying and being resurrected in an unholy, merciless path of sheer madness and cruelty. Even the Daleks and Time Lords were disorientated and confused by the sheer mess they were making. It was very tough to know what the hell was going on.
The Time Lords themselves needed to Time Lock themselves into the war in fear of the universe being destroyed in the carnage. It has been regarded as a 400 year long linear war, but in truth every nanosecond in time from the beginning of the universe to its end, and damn near every galaxy in the universe in every time setting, were viable battlegrounds. It was not a 400 year war in truth, but an eternal war that technically might not be over. It makes all other wars (even the Sontaran-Rutan War which has apparently lasted millions of years in a linear sense) look tiny.
Most powers e.g. Sontarans and Cybermen were small fry compared to both Daleks and Time Lords, in tech terms.
They called on every desperate measure save for The Moment; which could have ended the war quickly, but even the crazed dictator Rassilon dared not deploy this ultimate weapon, as it had its own conscience and before destroying anything would hold both sides of the war in judgment; in other words even the Time Lords knew it would probably kill everyone, in disgust at both sides.
The Daleks forced the once invincible Time Lords onto the defensive and clearly outnumbered them badly in the end.
By the looks of things, the Time Lords and regular Gallifreyans were reduced to purely defensive measures and being pushed right back to Gallifrey. Strong enough to hold them off, but certain to die in a bloody mess. That is where the Doctor reluctantly had to step in. M.A.D was on the cards even prior to this, but it looked as though the Daleks were winning. He does mention the Time Lords losing the war; though always adding in his memories of the war that, ''everyone lost''. He didn't want to risk any Daleks living/or living at least in some strong numbers, even if it meant killing what little remained of his own people in the process.
It was a war for all creation, and its supposed greatest power, lost. Though, technically everyone did.
In the Gallifreyan city (2nd biggest on Gallifrey) of *Arcadia* the mighty Gallifreyans openly instructed the soldiers in their military that *just one Dalek breaching the 400 Sky Trenches over Arcadia could wipe everyone out* literally even the mad, propagandistic reign of the resurrected dictator Rassilon (Rassilon, along with Omega, having begun the Time Lord line, founding it eons before the war) didn't lie to the men about this - it was common knowledge just put out there with every intention of scaring the shit out of everyone to fight harder, that just a single measly Dalek could slaughter the entire city.
It was also boasted that Arcadia would never fall with its 400 Sky Trenches protecting the noble city. Only individual Sky Trench(es) - it isn't known how they, when they or how many fell, prior to the Fall of Arcadia - were overwhelmed, with this drawn from the logic that the Gallifreyans boasted that *nobody and nothing ever got through 2 Sky Trenches* in one effort. What Sky Trenches even are exactly in their nature, isn't known (I have many ideas on it, but suffice it to say they must logically interlock and support each other if used in numbers)
When Arcadia fell, 400 Sky Trenches were defeated and breached, seemingly at the same time by the Daleks.
The Time Lords were reduced to mostly infantry tactics and shielding technology, losing all their Battle Tardis units by this point. Some powerful bowships remained but even they didn't save Arcadia. In the event, thousands of Daleks broke into Arcadia by air, in their flying legions. The poor Gallifreyans were petrified of just one doing so, remember.
So honestly, this isn't some jab at the USA by British TV producers :') lol
*Everyone* fears the Daleks in the DW universe.
Even/especially the Doctor himself (and the Daleks are afraid of him more than anyone or anything else)
No, it's just you wouldn't focus on praising the skills of a foreign entity more than your own. Plus normally Americans are background characters in Doctor Who. Kind of like you guys staring in an American action movie it doesn't appeal to the target audience. All I'm saying is that British shows will focus more attention on British characters than expendable American ones who aren't crucial to the plot. Also like I said those Mercanaries had bad guns.
Oh calm down, why do you even care? I can tell your little ego is hurt over the paranoid ideas you've went on about.
Nobody cares. Like, literally nobody.
Also, your argument is totally invalidated by the fact that British TV programme - longest running sci-fi in the world from 1963-present - is full of events and scenes in which British soldiers/special forces are killed.
See Battle of Canary Wharf.
See UNIT VS the Sontarans.
See Daleks killing British soldiers in multiple eras in the series, e.g. how WWII era British soldiers are killed by the ''Ironsides'' project Daleks.
See the British Torchwood armed forces being killed by both Cybermen and Daleks.
See the many, many times when British people die in various messed up ways in Doctor Who. There are literally children getting slaughtered in it in some.
Then you get a rage boner over some dumb, arrogant (spot on accuracy lol) and overconfident US special ops getting wiped out by 1 Dalek doing what Daleks do best?
You do realise you can pretend to divert attention away from your rage as much as you like, but I see right through it. If it didn't make you mad, you wouldn't bother. Pretending otherwise, won't work on me kid.
The *Daleks are the nemesis of the Time Lords* let alone some weak little squad of soldiers with nothing but light infantry weapons. They were doomed the moment the Dalek engaged them.
Remember how Arcadia, the 2nd city of Gallifrey, the Time Lord planet itself, was afraid of even just *one* Dalek slipping past their defence grid of sky trenches. Just one, they knew, might kill everyone there.
They were a devastating force on the battlefield, so deadly that even the Time Lords had no choice but to begrudgingly acknowledge their destructive proficiency.
Ironically, the mighty Time Lords had spent millions of years stagnating as a military power in conventional terms, with all Gallifreyans more or less relying on their overwhelming intellectual strengths, individually and culturally. They were without doubt a class apart among the races of the universe, and among the very eldest of all civilizations in any part of it. They were at god-like status, with clear superiority of technology, wisdom and science above everyone else. Their knowledge and understanding was immense, and in the Whoniverse, Time Lords invented black holes, among many other things.
But for all that, even they had a weakness, and it came via being too successful for their own good. In a form of latent arrogance and complacency, the Time Lords grew so powerful that they stepped away from interacting with the universe much anymore, preserving their own agendas and reserving themselves literally, observing the universe while vowing to continue improving themselves. However, this lasted eons. Time Lord society was a literal dictatorship for 10 million years straight. Just try to imagine that. They were rightly considered untouchable. No other alien race came even remotely close to how profound and wise they were; nor how lofty or cruel in ways. And, they knew it.
But that was until the Daleks rose to prominence. A vile upstart that seemed a nuisance at first, but before long even the most arrogant of the Time Lords knew that this was no mere passing threat.
They were an evil worse than anything else in the universe, so vile and abhorrent on every level, that it was obvious they'd settle at nothing less than the annihilation of the Gallifreyans, including all the houses of the Time Lords. They were geniuses, in more of a statistical and horrifyingly robotic way, husks of biological life, more tragic in their origins than even the similar cold story of the Cybermen. They were inelegant monstrosities whose only purpose was to enact xenophobic genocide on everything that wasn't them. They even dabbled in time travel themselves, snapping at the heels of the mighty Time Lords.
Considering all this, they still might not seem able to stand up to the Time Lords, and I honestly believe the Time Lords still had far more horrific weapons in a superweapon sense that is.
In terms of superweapons, make no mistake *not even the Daleks would come close* e.g. the Moment which could destroy a galaxy in literally 1 second.
Nothing else anyone else made even comes close. The Time Lords were even thinking of enabling the ''Ultimate Sanction'', to destroy the time vortex itself and the fabric of space and time, while transcending into becoming beings of pure thought and spirit, while the universe literally fell apart everywhere, killing everything. Some ''victory'', but it shows how superior the Time Lords were to everything else.
*BUT* in terms of conventional warfare, they'd spent so long with their head in the clouds (or nebulae) that they'd lost sight of old school battle tactics as they moved on.
This is as far as I can tell anyway. They were at a disadvantage versus Daleks in gunfights. From what we see, the Gallifreyan soldiers were more everyday and less, ethereal and almighty than the elitist culture surrounding the Time Lords. It was almost like a caste system. Most would have armour which wouldn't stop Dalek weapon blasts, and energy weapons/blaster rifles which, while certainly highly advanced for what they were and probably the best things of that kind anywhere in the universe (making Sontaran or Cybermen weapons look like toys) still didn't seem to damage the Daleks too much.
It also clearly seems as though the Daleks heavily outnumbered the Gallifreyans altogether, let alone just the Time Lords.
This is where the totalitarian monstrosity of Dalek militarism is most keenly felt; in their case, practically every single unit is a potential killing machine. Even the lowliest drones among them were terrifying if they got loose in a settlement. Genocidal freaks with no remorse. So when they went to war, they *all* fought. This is rare in most cultures and species, as even the Gallifreyans also demonstrate; there are many kinds of people in their society, and most aren't even soldiers or commanders. Logically, most will be civilians fulfilling civilian roles. Their highly civilised culture encouraged this, obviously. They'd never faced a foe as determined and bloody minded as the persistent evil of the Daleks.
It took an army of Gallifreyan infantry to overpower one Dalek in conventional battle, and the Daleks swarmed in the millions. Little wonder then that the Time Lords seemed to think more about superweapons than conventional ones.
The Last Great Time War lasted over 400 years in linear time, roughly, and *literal infinity* in reality, with every time zone, corner of the universe and every major race involved in some way (knowingly or not) Entire races were wiped out, and otherwise very powerful species, were just pawns on the chess board - or were simply pitiable victims caught in the crossfire between both the Time Lords and Daleks. Alien powers we'd consider as super-beings, were small fry to both at the Time Lords and the Daleks. Entire empires, dynasties and species were swatted like flies in the maelstrom of the LGTW. Every second billions were dying across the depths of time, on all sides. The scale of the bloodshed and destruction is so immense even the Time Lords were disorientated by the scale of it. A sickening cycle of slaughter. Time Lords would die and be resurrected over and over again, just to die again. Battles would be fought, re-fought and continued again and again. Millions died this way alone. Cities were obliterated, planets destroyed, star systems devastated. A war so brutal and chaotic that the Doctor has nightmares about it even if he stays still for too long while awake, let alone when he sleeps.
Ultimately, the once fabled and beloved, mysterious Time Lords, were grown to be generally hated as much as the Daleks. A bitter universe of lower tier alien powers, grew to envy and despise what was happening in different ways. By the end of the war, both sides lost.
So just remember, the Daleks aren't just your average DW villain. They are arguably *the* DW villain.
ThePalaeontologist "Oh calm down" I think you use your own advice buddy.
Even just the slow movements of it's eyestalk shows it's beginning to feel sadness for the death. Truly one of the best Dalek episodes

Daleks have genius level i.q.
"Water and electricity: BAAAAAD MIX."
Dalek: “water and electricity bad mix!”
John Wick as a Dalek: 3 shots, dozens dead.
I once saw him kill 30 men with a whisk. With a fucking. Whisk.
Moffat take notes now! FIX THE CURRENT DALEKS BY ACTUALLY MAKING THEM LETHAL!
One thing that always bothered me was how Rose knew that the Dalek was looking at her when it was far away from her. There's no way she could've seen the Daleks eye focus in on her from that distance.
she felt it... sometimes people can feel when something or someone is looking straight at them...
i think that scene was more to foreshadow that there was a living thing inside the dalek looking at her. you can generally feel when someone is looking at you specifically so i think that was the purpose of that scene. the zoom in just made it more obvious to the viewer
Believe it or not, I just searched "Water and electricity" and this was literally the first video on the list.
1:03 Just like with the classic show, this is one of the first times we see a dilating Dalek eye
*…and one of the last.*
Idiot guard: Thank you Doctor but I think I know how to fight one single tin robot.
Doctor: Oh really well my people have fought them in a war for centuries and I was on the front line of that war so maybe the stupid humans with their toy guns should listen to the alien who’s people invented time travel and manage to do a better job fighting this tin robot.
True. hahaha
It is amazing how intelligent the dalek in this episode was, and sad to see how they have went downhill since.
My headcanon is that the daleks had to reduce standards of production as the time war went on, so a lot of the daleks were made without shields and without the intelligence usually expected.
This was one of the few times the Daleks actually seemed threatening in New Who; one Dalek ripping through hundreds of soldiers in 45 minutes.
This is fucking brutal
Bullets doesn't penetrate a dalek.
Continues to fire machine guns at dalek.
What I like is that they surround it. If their bullets did penetrate, they would have passed through and hit each other. Or even if someone just had bad aim...
The most basic error when creating an ambush.
"You should have gone for the eye" - Dalek
This is my absolute favourite scene from this very violent episode. Well done to Rob Shearman!
Back when the doctor wasn't stupidly anti gun/violence to the point of being borderline scared of them
Anti-gun?
There's still plenty of guns
I guess the field commander didn't know how to fight a Dalek after all...
Let that be a lesson for you kids...
When it comes to dealing with Daleks...
Always trust your Doctor!
Never attack a dalek in the rain. Everyone that is messing with it is bound to be exterminated
The Doctor took this to heart when he went to Mars XD
Good my dalek. Use your feelings
"I think I know how to handle one tin robot."
3 dalek shoots later

This would have been the fate of every single army on the planet if it had gotten out, followed by every single remaining human.
This music is amazing!
It's funny how episodes that take place in the USA have a lot of guns in them.
Well
Because America
The one guy wearing Rubber Boots: Man I am so smart right now
so judging from this scene, I theorise that extermination is just a blast of electricity so powerful that it shuts down your entire nervous system when it shocks you.
Lewis Price yea it's a "projected energy weapon" so like a lightning canon
Lewis Price According to the wiki and numerous canon sources including Doctor Who novels and comics, the cause of death from a Dalek ray is “massive internal disruption”, so you’ve got it exactly right. The energy is mostly electricity and it basically shuts down your bodily systems. To quote the Seventh Doctor, “it scrambles your insides up!”.
I believe it's more that just electricity, the way their skeletons light up, it's a massive blast of gamma radiation, the heat of which creates a stream of plasma for conducting the massive surge of electricity
Their targets are both irradiated and electrocuted
I'm surprised they don't torture people more often but then i remember this is a family show
@@professionalmemeenthusiast2117 mostly true, exceptions being their mire sadistic units, like Dalek X
I watched series 1-4 as a child, barely remembered any of the episodes on rewatch 7 years later. This, Blink, and Midnight are the only 3 I could remember what was going to happen in what order. This episode is that memorable.
I was 8 years old when I first watched this, first time I cried watching a tv show. Such a brilliant episode
This is what daleks were meant to be, unstoppable blood machines,
No one thought of an EMP.
1shot-2heads Cause everyone carrier an EMP in their pocket, MAN EMPS ARE FUCKING HARD TO CREATE! Plus that thing is a noble EMP box, it's immune to EMPs.
emp wouldnt have done shit
1shot-2heads Daleks are not affected by an electro magnetic pulse.
You do know that to make an EMP of any effective power you need to detonate a nuke, right?
ELECTROCUTE!
1:40: That guy in the background with the white coat: Get up and fight!
Does anyone know the name of the soundtrack used in this scene?
The Daleks, by Murray Gold
The Dalek killed all those men with just three shots, It was basically flexing.
Safety Time Machine
1. Automatic door locked.
2. Goes invisible.
3. Moves airplanes over it.
4. Has camera outside/TV inside so time traveller only watchs.
5. Has Anti Future Change Device Automatically makes probability certain that person does not use observations of future.
That was just... 'shocking'.
Looking back at older seasons is really reminding me how much I hated that glow around everything.
I miss this kind of writing.
cryptlord 99
It was a good episode no doubt, I just don't like the golden glow everything has in the older seasons of the revivial.
what do you mean "the glow"?
aran carr-brown
It's a bit hard to explain, but each character seems to have this goldenish glow outlining them. It's quite apparent in the NewWho early series but is mostly gone by 3.
are you certain it wasnt your television
The dalek had empathy for rose as it saved it's life
For me this was the introduction to the mighty Daleks. Seeing one funny looking metal thing go threw a small army like nothing was terrifying
Wow a smart Dalek, also weird the water gets thru the shield
3 things to bring to a gun fight; A shield, a gun, and a brain. The soldiers missed two of those.
the ninja theorem applies Daleks as well:
power of Daleks = 1 ÷ number of Daleks
One aspect that gets criminally over looked is the effect of the time war on the daleks. They go from being rekt by ace woth a bar to unstoppable tanks. Could be an interesting topic to touch upon the effects of conflict on technological development in a future episode.
Then again chibs is the showrunner so it’s probably for the best he leaves any interesting concepts to literally anyone else.
C'mon man, You have to admit Chibnall has done the first interesting thing with the Daleks since 2009. Moffat was bloody awful at writing for them, Chibnall's 2 Dalek stories have had conflicting tones, but the presentation of the Daleks were amazing.
@@tTaseric agreed. I'd take any of Chibnall's three Dalek specials over the trash Moffat did with them. To be honest, looking back I'm not really impressed by Russell's work with them either. He wrote three Dalek episodes, all of which basically had the same story. Parting of the Ways was excellent, but Doomsday and Journey's End just repeat the same story beats. I'll never forgive RTD for turning the Daleks into a joke at the end of Journey's End either. Chibnall wrote them to be consistently menacing, angry and merciless, as they should be.
The Dalek looked at rose because it sensed that she would become the Bad Wolf
Dalek wins, BRUTALITY!
Very brilliant and methodical play by a single Dalek. Activate the water sprinklers by firing his gunwhisk at the fire control panel first, and then firing at the wet floor, electrocuting and frying the lower-floor soldiers in one go. Damn.
RIP KAC sprinkler call point
the death ray being electricity based (or at least working similarly) is kind of a cool idea i wish they played with that more
I'd of probably gone deaf with all those guns firing in a enclosed space like that
I love the music from 2:12 to 2:29
The smartest Dalek I ever encountered
Why so subtle? & it looks like the Doctor realizes that Dalek is on the clock.
DALEK C-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-MBO BONUS
He gets kudos points for killing 12 guys with 3 shots.
Dalek-
*12 Player Multikill*
Dalek was kicked from the server due to hacking.
"Thank you, Doctor, but I think I know how to fight one single tin robot."
Proceeds to shoot at the tin robot - who has already massacred around a dozen soldiers with ease, don't forget - with bullets.
Survival of the least moronic in this episode.
One thing I always love about the Dalek here and something I wish was done more often is how unusually quiet he is. Throughout the entire segment of him breaking out of his imprisonment and slaughtering everyone he barely ever speaks. Daleks are almost always loud and bombastic, especially when killing, but seeing one do it without saying a single word is just so much more unsettling and intimidating. The scene where he hovers up the stairs while silently staring at them is the best example of this and easily the scariest Dalek moment in the entire series Imo.
Don't get me wrong I love how hammy the Daleks usually are, but it does take away a bit of their scare factor most of the time.
Doctor: Concentrate fire. *Everyone fires full auto misses* Mercs: *Surpised Pikachu face*
Damn I miss when dr who was like this.
A bunch of monkeys: *fires cute little bullets at just a single little tin robot*
Single little tin robot: "Um... yah.... I give up, what are you even doing?"
Can we appreciate how this one Dalek has killed more humans in 3 minutes than the entire Dalek race has in the last few seasons?
Also. Call me crazy. But I don't think the Dalek even noticed the guards ate first. It's like they go out of their way to show how dark the room was in the Dalek's POV.
what a troll the Dalek was
Never mess with a murder machine.
The best part for me, is how the Dalek didn’t even see the soldiers until they opened fire.
Thank you doctor, but I think I know how to fight one single tin robot... that had already killed several of my highly trained co-workers.
I like the music playing from 0:12 to 0:17 as the doctor give tips and instructions
0:54 entrace music for the Grim Reaper
And i especially just love the music playing from 3:18 onward to the end it reminds me of the funeral music from Snow White
Remember when seems like this used to make a sphere the Daleks. I mean back at the end of the season when there was that entire army I’m sure almost all of us dropped on jaws just fearing what an entire fleet of these killing machines could do it
And remind me why some people think R2-D2 would be able to beat a Dalek?
Just came here to see why nobody pointed out these ppl supposedly wear rubber-soled shoes and it should insulate them...
It's not just their boots they were soaked
Their boots were all wet. Wouldn't their feet be stinky?
Why you aren’t supposed to be an ignorant guy while fighting a mini-tank with a laser gun.
