A Really Powerful Scene in Asylum of the Daleks

Did anyone else find the scene where Oswin kept saying 'I am not dalek, I am human' with the dalek voice during her conversion really powerful? It was so chilling and so heartbreaking to see this strong intelligent girl being taken over by the dalek and the filming/effects/timing/editing were fantastic!

I was a bit skeptic towards Jenna when her casting was announced, but this scene alone proved to me that she'll be a great addition to Doctor Who and I can't wait for the Christmas special!

    Yes, it was a heartbreaker that moment.

    If the writers give Jenna-Louise Coleman a Turn Left or The Girl Who Waited style episode, we're done for.

    Definitely, agree with all of this (except the sceptic bit, I remained completely neutral). The bit where she starts to say "eggs...ter...min...ate" is horrible and poignant. The Doctor is brilliant as well, he doesn't know whether to be sympathetic or disgusted.

    No, quite honestly. I was neutral as I did not know the actress.

    No not really. It was just copying Revelation, and it was done much better in that.

    Yeah, I thought the moment where DalekOswin kept futily trying to insist that she was human was beautifully done. Fantastic complementary music, great acting by Jenna, and great voice work by Nick Briggs.
