"And then we discovered why. Why this Doctor, who had fought with Gods and demons, why he'd run away from us and hidden. He was being kind." — The Family of Blood
Doctor: "You really are dying, aren't you" Davros: "Look at me. Did you doubt it?" Doctor: "Yes" Davros: "Then we have established one thing only... you are not a good Doctor"
The funniest thing is in the german dub the Daleks never use the word "Exterminieren" but "Eliminiren" which means the same. And than they don't use it the one time they are in Germany
The idea of Daleks canonically saying “extermineren” is so funny to me… like “not only are we going to hedonistically chant to your demise, we want to do it in YOUR language even if you or no one who speaks your language is around to hear it for sure”.
“I spared her life” — Blon “You let one of them go. But that’s nothing new. Every now and then a victim’s spared because she smiled, cos he’s got freckles, cos they begged. And that’s how you live with yourself, that’s how you slaughter millions. Because once in a while, on a whim, if the wind’s in the right direction, you happen to be kind.” — 9th Doctor “Only a killer would know that. Is that right? From what I’ve seen your funny little happy-go-lucky life leaves devastation in its wake. Always moving on cos you dare not go back. Playing with so many people’s lives you might as well be a god. And you’re right Doctor, you’re absolutely right, sometimes you let one go. Let me go.” — Blon
theory that the doctor has thought they’re alright because everyone got happy endings, right? but the the toymaker’s puppet scene was where 14 realized no, everything’s not alright, those people might have gotten happy endings but he still lost them, and that ties in to him staying behind with donna & co because he can’t keep going and losing people and pretending it’s all fine
