butterflyIt's because of the Doctor that Dalek Sec decided to try doing the human hybrid thing. I'm up to the Dalek-Doctor confrontation in Doomsday (God, it's a hard episode to rewatch, because it's actually thoroughly delightful before it rips out my heart) and the Doctor says it, right to Dalek Sec's eyestalk...
Rose: "They said one touch from a time traveller will wake it up."
The Doctor: "Technology using the one thing a Dalek can't do; touch. Sealed inside your casing. Not feeling anything... ever... from birth to death, locked inside a cold metal cage. Completely alone. And that explains your voice. No wonder you scream."
The Doctor gets right up to Sec and completely pwns him. Also, no wonder Sec wanted the Doctor around in Evolution of the Daleks if the Doctor was what made him realize he wanted out of his cage in the first place.
edit: They touched. Just a little -- Rose touching his shoulder when they back out of the door just after she's asked an excellent question ("Why do they need to get outside?") and the Doctor has no answer ("Time Lord science... what Time Lord science?"), but I hadn't noticed it before this rewatch and it makes me feel the tiniest bit better about the agony of the no-touching on the beach. Well, I say 'better'. It makes the agony slightly more bearable.
