We could have had a war-style siege story involving the Drone, we could have had a complex thriller involving the Strategist, we could have had a complex and thought-provoking mad-scientist style story with the Scientist, timey-wimey something or other with the Eternal and so on. It's less repetitive, and makes use of those Daleks strengths as superiors, whilst the typical Bronze Daleks do all the work.
I think I'd have preferred this to what we actually got - Into the Dalek felt both by-the-numbers, overly familiar and ultimately like it toyed with an idea that was best left to the imagination (like with Journey to the Centre of the Tardis).”

On doctor who confidential Moffat said oh eternal. What csn that be about. In other words he doesn't know yet.

The new-New daleks presumably, and by mere coincidence, looking like the bronze daleks, 1960s daleks, Special Weapons and a Dalek Sec tribute act.
