Behind the scenes
Doctor Who Confidential revealed that the name of this Dalek was provided by Steven Moffat in a "naming session" with Mark Gatiss. Neither came up with a meaning for the name, but Moffat opined in Confidential that he thought that the functionality of the Eternal would one day become critical to a story.
Given that Eternal means forever, the Eternal Dalek may be the only one that can activate an Emergency Temporal Shift as a way to revive the Daleks once again should the Doctor find a way to destroy them once again.
Trivia
- The Eternal Dalek is notably the only of the five Progenitor Daleks to have black orbs on its design rather than silver ones.
