By all rights, the title of that episode should have been "Sole Survivor."  That way, when the "alien" is revealed, the audience would have been as shocked and terrified as The Doctor was in that scene.

It wasn't just the Dalek the Doctor confronted in that episode -- it was his own demons, the hate he had built up over centuries of fighting Daleks, and the price he was paying for his obsessions.

 

The Doctor had lost friends and companions over the Daleks across the years, some he had driven away and some the Daleks had outright killed. It was a long, bitter struggle he thought he had won -- and even then the cost was mutual genocide. When the Dalek says "You would make a good Dalek", it threatens the very core of the Doctor's life, and leads him to do the unthinkable.

 

"Dalek" is brilliant television and one of the very best episodes of Doctor Who among the entire run of nearly sixty years.
