Quotes from "Asylum of the Daleks"

Darla: First there were the Daleks. And then there was a man who fought them. And then in time, he died. There are a few, of course, who believe this man somehow survived. And that one day, he will return. For both our sakes, dearest Hannah, we must hope these stories are true.

Darla: They say you can help.
The Doctor: Do they? I wish they'd stop.

Rory: So how much trouble are we in?
The Doctor: How much trouble, Mr. Pond? Out of ten... eleven.

Amy: Where are we? Spaceship, right?
The Doctor: Not just any spaceship. The Parliament of the Daleks. Be brave.
Amy: What do we do?
The Doctor: Make them remember you.

The Doctor: It's never made any sense to me.
Dalek Prime Minister: Why not?
The Doctor: Because you'd just kill them.
Dalek Prime Minister: It is offensive to us to extinguish such divine hatred.
The Doctor: Offensive?
Dalek Prime Minister: Does it surprise you to know that Daleks have a concept of beauty?
The Doctor: I thought you'd run out of ways to make me sick. But hello again. You think hatred is beautiful?
Dalek Prime Minister: Perhaps that is why we have never been able to kill you.

Darla: The gravity beam will convey you close to the source of the transmission. You must find a way to deactivate the force field from there.
The Doctor: You're going to fire me at a planet, that's your plan? I get fired at a planet and expected to fix it.
Rory: In fairness, that is slightly your MO.
The Doctor: Don't be fair to the Daleks when they're firing me at a planet.

The Doctor: What is wrong with my chin?
Oswin: Careful, dear, you'll put someone's eye out.

Oswin: So, anyway, I'm Oswin. What do I call you?
Rory: Uh, I can't remember. Uhh... Rory.
Oswin: Lovely name, Rory. A boy I fancied was called Rory.
Rory: Okay.
Oswin: Actually, she was called Nina. I was going through a phase. Just flirting to keep you cheerful.

Oswin: Okay, you're safe for now. Pop your shirt off, quick as you like.
Rory: Why?
Oswin: Does there have to be a reason?

Oswin: Do you know how you make someone into a Dalek? Subtract love, add anger. Doesn't she seem a bit too angry to you?
Amy: Well, somebody's never been to Scotland.

The Doctor: You know what really gets me about you, Oswin? The soufflés. Where do you get milk for the soufflés? Seriously, is no one else wondering about that?
Rory: No. Frankly, no. Twice.

Oswin: Why do the Daleks call you "The Predator"?
The Doctor: I'm not a predator. Just a man with a plan.
Oswin: You've got a plan?
Rory: We're all ears.
Amy: There's a nose joke going there if someone wants to pick that one off.
The Doctor: In no particular order, we need to neutralize the Daleks in this asylum, rescue Oswin from the wreckage, escape from this planet, and fix Amy and Rory's marriage.
Amy: Okay, I'm counting three lost causes. Anyone else?

The Doctor: As soon as the force field is down, the Daleks will attack. If it gets too explodey-wodey in here, you go without me, okay?
Rory: And leave you to die?
The Doctor: Oh, don't worry about me. You're the one beaming up to a Dalek ship to get exterminated.
Rory: Fair point. Love this plan.

Series 7 Episode 1: Asylum of the Daleks

Summary:
The Doctor is called to Skaro but it's a trap and he's taken prisoner by the Daleks. The same thing happens to Amy and Rory and soon all three are together on a spaceship. They are facing the council of the Daleks who send them down into the Asylum, which is like a prison for all the mad Daleks. Down there they find Oswin, who helps them to avoid the Daleks who want to kill them but why does Oswin do this? She crashed on the planet a year ago and the Doctor wonders why she is still human and not a Dalek puppet. While they try to drop the force field so the planet can be destroyed, Amy slowly turns into a Dalek as well. Is the Doctor still able to save everyone or will he perish with the Asylum?

The first episode of series 7 and it was amazing. I didn't expect it to be that good and I surely didn't expect to see Jenna-Lousie Coleman in it who will become the new companion of the Doctor later in the series. I wonder how they will resolve this problem with her being a Dalek who has been destroyed now. Maybe it's her past version who will be travelling with the Doctor. Oh, I don't know and I don't want to speculate about it right now. I thought it was so sad to see Amy and Rory sign the divorce in the first couple of minutes of the episode but you  already knew of their problem when you've watched "Pond Life". Well, I'm happy they are back together. It's kind of cool that the Daleks have forgotten the Doctor now, I definitely wouldn't have expected that. I'm still a bit flashed from the first episode and I'm so looking forward to the next one.
You can watch the episode online here.
