SARAH: What are you waiting for? DOCTOR: Just touch these two strands together and the Daleks are finished. Have I that right? SARAH: To destroy the Daleks? You can't doubt it. DOCTOR: Well, I do. You see, some things could be better with the Daleks. Many future worlds will become allies just because of their fear of the Daleks. SARAH: But it isn't like that. DOCTOR: But the final responsibility is mine, and mine alone. Listen, if someone who knew the future pointed out a child to you and told you that that child would grow up totally evil, to be a ruthless dictator who would destroy millions of lives, could you then kill that child? SARAH: We're talking about the Daleks, the most evil creatures ever invented. You must destroy them. You must complete your mission for the Time Lords. DOCTOR: Do I have the right? Simply touch one wire against the other and that's it. The Daleks cease to exist. Hundreds of millions of people, thousands of generations can live without fear, in peace, and never even know the word Dalek. SARAH: Then why wait? If it was a disease or some sort of bacteria you were destroying, you wouldn't hesitate. DOCTOR: But I kill, wipe out a whole intelligent lifeform, then I become like them. I'd be no better than the Daleks. SARAH: Think of all the suffering there'll be if you don't do it.
ドクター・フー史上もっとも難しい問い。
ダーレクをダーレク誕生前に滅ぼすべきだったのか、それは宇宙の歴史を大きく変えることでもあり、ドクターもといタイムロードにその権利はあるのか。
ダーレクは死と破壊をもたらすものだけれどもそのダーレクの存在によって何かよいものも生まれているはずというのがドクターの出した結論。
宇宙中がダーレクの支配下におかれ地球も占領されやがてはタイムウォーを引き起こし、大量殺戮をそ手で行うことになる未来が自分に待っていると仮にドクター知ったとしても同じ決断をしたかな？でももうダーレクは誕生してしまってダブロスにすら止められない存在になっていたわけだし。
最終的には培養中の幼生を爆破によって全滅させたわけだけれども一応ダーレクの進出を1000年ぐらいは遅らせることができたという感じで。
カレド族がもっと早くにダブロスの暴走を止められればよかったのに。ダブロスもダーレクが自分に従わない可能性を見逃さなければ何か変わったのかな。ナイダーもなぜあそこまでダブロスに従ったのか。いろいろほんと悩ましい。
SARAH: You don't seem too disappointed. We've failed, haven't we? DOCTOR: Failed? No, not really. You see, I know that although the Daleks will create havoc and destruction for millions of years, I know also that out of their evil must come something good.
けー
