* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The puppeteers behind the Dalek in this episode opted to give it almost completely smooth, intentional movements. The logic behind this choice was that in the classic series, the Daleks rattling around when moving made the props look cheap and weightless, and they opted to try and avoid that for the revival. By the time the Daleks made their second appearance in "Bad Wolf", it was decided that their portrayal in "Dalek" was a bit ''too'' robotic and lifeless for what is meant to be a vehicle for the raging creature inside, and some of that shakiness was brought back, particularly in the weapons and eye stalk.

The Doctor and Rose arrive in [[Main/TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture 2012]] Utah, in a museum of alien parts. As they discover when they are captured, they're in the ElaborateUndergroundBase of Henry van Statten, an American tycoon with way more money than sense. The pride of TheCollectorOfTheStrange's collection is a strange metal... droid... thing, that Mister Alien Expert just ''knows'' is sentient, but that he can't communicate with. So he locks the Doctor in there with it.

-->'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIjUSzpYcuA&lc=Ugyd2Z3gh0X-S2PYKrh4AaABAg YouTube comment]]:''' Just started Dr Who recently. I'd always assumed Daleks were some kind of joke based on only knowing their appearance. Seeing the Doctor be downright terrified and then hateful of one was one of the most effective establishments of a threat I think I've ever seen.

Broken Aesop is YMMV now.


* BrokenAesop: While the Doctor is certainly being unpleasant in torturing the Lone Dalek, he is treated as wrong for wanting to kill the Dalek and treating it as absolutely evil. However, when the Dalek gets free it kills over 200 people, and it is clear it intends to wipe out all humanity. It does gain human feelings, but it's clearly an exception and Rose's sympathy towards it is largely born from ignorance, while the Doctor knows firsthand how dangerous the Daleks are and is proven right.
