**Review of "Into the Dalek"**
*Into the Dalek* delves into a classic Doctor Who theme: the nature of good
versus evil. It places the Twelfth Doctor and Clara inside a damaged
Dalek-nicknamed "Rusty"-to explore whether even a Dalek can be turned "good."
The episode sets the tone for Peter Capaldi's Doctor, emphasising his darker,
more reflective persona, and his willingness to confront uncomfortable moral
truths.
The story begins aboard the Aristotle, a resistance ship fighting the Daleks.
When a seemingly benevolent Dalek is discovered, the Doctor and Clara are
miniaturised to explore its malfunctioning systems. The narrative's heart
lies in Rusty's gradual shift from a Dalek programmed to hate to one
capable of appreciating beauty, spurred by its exposure to the Doctor's mind.
Capaldi delivers a commanding performance, portraying a complex Doctor
grappling with self-doubt and morality. Jenna Coleman's Clara provides
emotional grounding, serving as a moral compass when the Doctor's choices
appear cold. The supporting cast, including Zawe Ashton as resistance soldier
Journey Blue, brings depth, though some characters lack sufficient development
to leave a lasting impact.
The episode's visuals are striking, with the Dalek's internal environment
providing a fresh and imaginative setting. The action sequences maintain
tension, and the dialogue is sharp, blending dark humour with introspection.
The themes of redemption and identity resonate, though the pacing occasionally
stumbles, with some moments feeling rushed.
The climax, where Rusty turns against its own kind but remains steadfast
in its hatred of the Daleks, reflects the Doctor's internal conflict.
It poses a key question: Is the Doctor truly a "good man"? This philosophical
exploration elevates the episode, inviting viewers to ponder
the nature of morality.
**Final Rating: 85/100**
*Into the Dalek* is a compelling and thought-provoking episode that balances
action with moral complexity, solidifying Capaldi's Doctor as a darker, more
enigmatic figure. While not without its flaws, it's a strong exploration
of what it means to be good.
