I think this episode had a lot of potential. But I don't think this is how it should have ended. Why did the cult of Skaro have to go against Dalek Sec?! They could have lived in peace, but that's just not what Daleks do.
Summary of this episode HERE
This episode gets a scariness rating of 1. Daleks, a Dalek-Human hybrid, pig slaves, and human "shells" that turn into Dalek-humans(a bit of timelord gets mixed in too).
Things I like about this episode:
When Martha uses metal poles to conduct the lightning strike to the elevator so it kills the pig slaves. Finally she does something clever.
When The Doctor holds on to the lightning rod when the gamma ray hits, and makes the Dalek-Humans part Timelord.
I think this is the only episode that The Doctor actually helps the Daleks.(I don't think he should do it in the future... or the past.)
Woohoo! The Doctor saves the world again!
Things I don't like about this episode:
When the cult of Skaro imprisons Dalek Sec because he's not a "Pure" Dalek. This episode would have been so cool if the Dalek humans were good and The Doctor found them a planet to live on. Then The Doctor would never have to fight the Daleks again.
When the Daleks kill Dalek Sec.
Of course a Dalek does an "emergency temporal shift" to escape The Doctor. Again! Now he'll have to face them another time.
Awesome quotes from this episode:
Dalek Sec: What is that sound?
The Doctor: Ah. Well. Now. That would be me. Hello! Surprise! Boo! Etcetera.
Dalek Sec: Doctor.
Dalek Sec: Observe humanity. For all their faults they have such courage.
Martha: We worked it out—there's Dalekanium on the mast. And it's good to see you too, by the way.
The Doctor: Oh, come here! hugs Martha as the elevator closes. See? Never waste time on a hug.
Dalek Sec: My Daleks, just understand this; if you choose death and destruction, then death and destruction will choose you. (Dalek Sec is smart)
Dalek Sec: You... have betrayed me!
Dalek Thay: You told us to imagine.. and we imagined your irrelevance.
The Doctor: Daleks are bad enough at any time, but right now they're vulnerable. And that makes them more dangerous than ever.
Martha Jones: Do you reckon it's gonna work, those two?
The Doctor: I don't know. Anywhere else in the universe I might worry about them, but New York- it's what this city's good at. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses and maybe the odd pig-slave-Dalek-mutant-hybrid, too.
Martha Jones: [laughs] The pig and the showgirl.
Dalek Thay: You will die, Doctor. At the beginning of a new age.
Dalek Jast: Planet Earth will become New Skaro.
The Doctor: Oh, and what a world! With anything just the slightest bit different ground into the dirt. That's Dalek Sec; don't you remember? The cleverest Dalek ever, and look what you've done to him. Is that your new Empire? Hmmm? Is this the foundation for a whole new civilisation?
TARDIS!
