Summary:
The Doctor and Rose follow a signal and land in a museum full of alien artefacts. Soon they meet Mr van Statten who has collected everything and is especially proud of his one living alien. The Doctor wants to talk to it but he recognises the alien as his biggest enemy: a Dalek. The Dalek fell through a hole in time during the Time War and crashed on earth. The Doctor tells van Statten to destroy the Dalek as long as it's weak but van Statten doesn't want to hear anything about it. Rose touches the Dalek and he regenerates because of her DNA. It starts to kill people on its way out of the base. Can the Doctor stop the Dalek or not? Will he loose Rose?
This is the first time in the new series that we see the Daleks again, one of the enemies of the Doctor. It is interesting to see how the Doctor changes when he is in the company of the Dalek. Sometimes it seems that he is not better than his enemy and that the only thing he wants to do is kill it. I think Rose speaks for the whole audience when she asks him, "What is wrong with you?"
Rose can see the Dalek with different eyes because she hasn't been in the Time War and doesn't know what has happened there. I think the moments between Rose and Adam are quite nice and it is good to see Rose and the Doctor interact with other characters than with each other. The episode still has its funny moments and I always like the scene when the Doctor looks for a weapon and has a hair-dryer in his hands. In the new series the Daleks have evolved as well because they are able to levitate now and are able to climb stairs as well. So, Stairs are no help anymore when you meet a Dalek.
