The news on the regeneration i've been given about 2 hours ago is that as DT was only half hit by the dalek rays only one of his hearts dies and needs to regenerate, this is what causes him to split into 2 DT's, each with only 1 working heart and making him more human.

rolig commented on the word dalek
I wonder if this word comes from the Russian word for "far (away)", which is spelt далекий, transliterated dalekij (though pronounced da-LYO-kiy).

Jubjub commented on the word dalek
Cyberman: Daleks, be warned; you have declared war upon the Cybermen.
Dalek: This is not war. This is pest control!
Cyberman: We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?
Dalek: Four.
Cyberman: You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?
Dalek: We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek! You are superior in only one respect.
Cyberman: What is that?
Dalek: You are better at dying!
Sorry, was just watching this and thought this quote did a good job of expressing the essence of the dalek.
