Doctor Who | Reaction | 1x06 | Dalek | We Watch Who 

Interesting trivia - the writer of this episode asked his girlfriend to come up with everything she found silly about the Daleks in the old series, and then invoked all of them in the episode. Daleks can't climb stairs? E-le-va-te! A toilet plunger isn't scary? Now it can suck the life out of anyone and interface with anything. You can take out a Dalek by sneaking behind it? Nope, the middle section rotates and shoots 360 degrees around. Vulnerability to bullets? Force field.

"This is not life. This is....sickness" is such a chilling line. 'Space Nazis' are such a cliche trope but it just makes the Daleks even more terrifying.

How did Dalek Holmes solve mysteries? EXTRAPOLATE!

I was at a board game convention a couple of years back when I almost literally bumped into a Dalek (someone had made a full size remote controlled replica). I was coming out of the toilet and turned a corner to find myself face to face with this Dalek, my fight or flight immediately kicked in and for a second I wanted to run the other direction. I laughed at myself afterwards for being so stupid but I grew up with the classic Dr's and the Daleks always terrified me as a child. Funny how these things stick with you even if you're not conscious of them.

It's a tremendous episode - Christopher Eccleston really shows his acting ability in this - his fury when he tells the Dalek to just kill itself is so intense. And that line later "You would make a good Dalek" - that was a stunning moment - remember it for the future! The script for this is actually based on a Doctor Who Audio story by Big Finish called "Jubilee". I'd say this is the 1st real stand-out story of the New Series. Great reaction folks.

What a great episode to start keeping track of the death toll....

although as the doctor explained Daleks are genetically engineered to have all emotions removed except hatred, the only reason we feel sympathetic towards this one is because Rose's DNA mutated it so it began to feel more emotions, I mean it still killed about 200 people in this episode alone

The doctor is such a complex character. As much as I like villains that you can empathize with, a protagonist that could be a good Dalek and that you still want to hug is amazing.

Downloading the internet would completely fill that Dalek with racism and memes which...sounds pretty accurate, really

What an episode to begin tracking deaths in. |;-]s

If you can feel empathy for a villain, Doctor Who was made for you.

RTD showing how to make the Daleks deeper characters.

Just have to say I love the way your dogs came to you when you were upset x

I remember the Daleks from their very fist outing in 1963 - and this is the first time I've ever felt sorry for a Dalek! Very well written and voiced. lol if the Dalek did indeed absorb the entire internet its brain should have imploded under the weight of flat-earthers, conspiracy theories and the rest of the silliness

Can’t believe no one has said this so in the 90s Doctor Who fans go together and bought the rights to do audios the company is called Big Finish & is still going and has now done hundreds and tones of New Who ones too, this story was adapted from a story called “Jubilee” where the 6th Doctor & his companion Evelyn landed in an alternative timeline of where the UK is a mad jingoistic place. It’s vastly different but basically the dalek and doctor interactions are the same

Really enjoying revisiting these earlier episodes with you girls :-)

The more you know about Doctor who, the more you understand how great an insult it is when the Doctor says "That dalek is better than you."

I watched this, back when it first aired, and I had been a casual fan of the old series for some years, so I knew very well what the Daleks were. When those familiar head-lamps light up in time with that iconic distorted-scream-voice saying "DOC-TOR? *_THE_* DOC-TOR?" - that was such a visceral "Holy Shit!" moment. And the episode as a whole re-established the threat level of Daleks so well for the new series. I mean, a single Dalek dropped on a planet like Earth that's _barely_ space-faring, not even interplanetary yet, let alone interstellar - that Dalek is an extinction event all on its own. It'll just keep on killing and killing and killing until the only life left on the planet is the Dalek, which is the way they want the universe to be.

After I die, I want my coffin be lowered to the sound of the TARDIS.

Pepperpots are what the daleks were somewhat modeled after, or they did a preliminary drawing that looked remarkably similar to a Pepperpot.

"You would make a good Dalek" The more you goes on Doctor Who, the darker you see him become, the better you understand that this insult was the most painful insult the Doctor might have received in his life.

OMG!!! My favourite episode of the entire series and the ONE that made me fell in love forever!!! 😍

Ugh would love to watch the show with someone like you guys! I get totally into the emotions and end up tearing up every episode! So excited for you guys to go through this series! And man, the Doctor and Rose will be my forever OTP I don’t care what anyone says 😂

Thumbed you up immediately for the "really realistic drawing of a TARDIS", you can easily distinguish it from other charts with just a casual glance now :)

Has anyone ever told you not to change seating positions... It melts our brains.

I relate so strongly to this X'D super glad to see I'm not the only one who cried over or felt bad for that Dalek.

If Paula tears up so much over this episode, she's going to be a wreck by the end of Series 1. And then there's Series 2 (a mild sedative might be appropriate! :) ). I hope she finds it cathartic rather than unpleasant, but either way it brings the episode to life. But what makes your reaction fun to watch is that you're both obviously having fun watching the show and I love your playful sense of humour!

The scene with the Doctor and Rose when he was about to kill the dalek, and she stands up to him is so meaningful. Because the Doctor never usually uses guns

The Daleks were introduced in the Second ever Dr Who story back in December 1963.

What a great reaction video and I love the idea of counting the deaths. Thanks for all your hard work with this. looking forward to seeing more.

I hope that Dalek remembered to wipe its search history after absorbing the internet.

You pair are adorable, and your reactions to the show are awesome, both old fan and new, fresh and eager. Love it, makes me smile

"You would make a good Dalek". Ouch.

One of my favorite 9th Doctor episodes.

If I'm not mistaken, the writer of this episode also wrote Jubilee, an episode of Doctor Who in audio drama on Big Finish Productions, with the Sixth Doctor. As I recall, RTD really liked Jubilee and asked the writer to write "Dalek"

Doctor Who does such an amazing job of making its audience truly fear something that looks like a trashcan with a whisk and a plunger glued on. It’s incredible writing/directing/acting.

This is where the show really turns around. Strap in and get ready! It only gets better from here.

Diana Goddard went on to play Stargate's Daniel Jackson's (Michael Shanks) girlfriend who was possessed by Osiris the Gouald aka bad guys.

Also Henry of Statten is an opportunistic businessman, he only cares about something as long as he can squeeze something out of it, that's why he disrespectfully tosses away the alien musical instrument away after he manages to get it to work.

This was great! I'm loving these. I wish you could do more than one episode a week. There is so much good stuff that will take years to get to, but I'll be here for it. It's not the first time I watched a reaction channel go through this show one episode per week and it probably won't be the last.

After her quick analysis of the Time War, we have a Perspicacious Paula. Another great reaction video - thanks.

Great episode! You need to check Resurrection of the Daleks,it has a higher death count than Terminator! Keep up the good work Girls! :-)

This is the episode I show to newbies first

If you think this is distressing, wait until the season finales, the Planet of the Ood, Turn Left...'

You guys are so hilarious, wonderful chemistry.

Originally they weren’t going to include bug-eyed monsters and robots. No Daleks then. They were supposed to be an alien race that had lost their home. Not the bad guys.

I love watching new reactions to Doctor who because it puts me in the role of the Doctor experiencing something I’ve been through from you( my companion’s experience)

never seen your videos before but i loved your reaction! what a good episode ❤👌

That line about being “a good Dalek” will come back later...

Should probably add the deaths from previous episodes to your list. Episode 1 - Wilson, Clive Episode 2 - The Steward (male), Raffalo the plumber (female), Jabe (female), the Moxx of Balhoon (male) and The Lady Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17. There's also the Adherents of the Repeated Meme (genderless androids), there were five of them, if you want to include them. Episode 3 - Mrs. Peace (she is originally seen dead in a coffin, so not sure if that counts), Mr. Redpath, Mr. Sneed, and Gwyneth. Episode 4 - The Pig Pilot (nebulous gender), Joseph Green, Margaret Blaine and Oliver Charles (all three are already dead before the episode starts, and are being used as skinsuits by the Slitheen so I'm unsure if you want to count them), General Asquith (male), Prime Minister Tony Blair (his dead body is found in a cupboard) and Indra Ganesh (male) Episode 5 - Sip Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen (male), Jocrassa Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen (male), unnamed Slitheen male (inhabiting the skin of General R. Asquith) and Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen (female). I restricted the list to named/significant characters. That comes out to 14 males, 7 females, and 6 genderless/unspecified.

Yup, he wiped his own people out

Everyone is changed by the love of Rose

4:10 Mate, the password is "buffalo". You're not a genius.

How much does the Doctor hate the Daleks? *He’s bragging about committing genocide.*

Hi what a good video thank you

I'll be honest I don't particularly enjoy react videos, but through my nostalgia for the show and the great chemistry you guys have, especially with the fan and new B dynamic I've actually really enjoyed this series so far

Good luck with that bodycount 😁 nice reaction 🙂

As well as the aforementioned racism and memes, the Dalek got about a trillion terabytes of hardcore pornography, worms, Trojan horses, and 4chan. No wonder it wanted humanity to die.

Cool, I can start watching again now the farting aliens have gone :D.

You are going to need a LOT more paper if you guys plan to get caught up eventually.

Will you be doing torchwood?

Hello, im new to your reactions and i was wondering why do you count men and women deaths separately and not just human loss ? ( cauz there have been / are / will be a lot of non human loss, your scoreboard could become complicated in the future lol ).

Love the dress!

These ones are really from the last because this is season 1 and doctor who have gone to season 11 i can't wait till you see my favourite episode no spoilers except this it in season 9 this may take till 2019 to Finnish all epsododes until season 12 but I can wait how much I loved the part you cut out some place beginning with s not c that sounded great you saw the next title bye till Monday No vem ber

Daleks conquer and destroy! Exterminate! The return of an icon for this series. Great reaction from you two!

Flying Daleks was highly controversial with old fans. That was absolutely not canon. Part of the horror of them was the inexorable slowness along the ground - they just keep coming in this nightmarish way, at walking speed. But if they can fly, then they aren't slowed by friction, and that part of the nightmare disappears. Then they might as well be sperical, or ovoid or something.

Darlek? XD 0:29 But... what happen when a species beside human died? The one that saved the Doctor? how do you distinguish a man and a woman? Also, I read an article somehwere, RTD Era has much more death than Steven Moffat era, just saying :v That TARDIS dress looks wonderful on you, Katrina :D. Wish I have a TARDIS hoodie/shirt... (not T-shirt, as in shirt with buttons, lol) 3:30 Ship them! Dator? Doclek? I'm bad at naming ships... T_T (oh wait... their name is already weird in the first place, of course the ship name will be terrible XD) So, in 2012... memory wipe already invented in America in Doctor Who universe...

Where's episode 5?

Seriously?? THIS is the episode you decide to keep track of the deaths on??? THIS EPISODE?????

im surprised about you putting things together that he killed all the daleks but in the process sacrificed his race not many people get that from that scene

I always feel bad for dogs in reaction videos. They can't understand why their humans are so upset.

Maybe limit the death list to named/speaking characters?

I cant wait untik you ladies reach Vincent and the Doctor. No spoilers ;)

Did you skip episode 5?

In Polish everyone at start call "DALEK", beacuse in Polish A is A no EJ (There is a difference in pronunciation in the translator) It's cool when you know that not only your nation is saying this name in this way. (I Love Doctor Who (Season Four4life in my Heart)

Interesting assumption that the Dalek is male... How do you know? Does the Dalek race have sexuality?

Why are you doing the man vs women thing?

It’s not gowback toffe ep star Hulu watch539 thanks

You guys should watch genesis of the daleks that will give the background of them and is next to this the best dalek story (although I can see that you're going through the new series episode by episode). Also if the dalek scanned the internet it would totally find daleks, most of them watch info wars or support trump or voted for brexit or read the daily mail or don't like the idea of a female doctor or hate LGBT people and non white people, there is a lot of daleks on the internet and they aren't to hard to find.

After downloading the internet and seeing all the horrible things humanity has done and created, can you really blame the Dalek for going on a killing spree?

Why keep track of haw many Men and Women die?

6 episodes in: who would have thought that these 2 lesbian feminists become annoying so fast...

oh this is when people watched this channel
