I was really hoping that the Doctor would bring up or even make a snide comment about the last good Dalek, Dalek Oswin.

This episode had the same issue as the last one to me; that the plot was absurd and it was badly directed and paced and they could've refined it to be much better, but it held together purely on fantastic character moments. That said, I should expect the Doctor to be able to handle a bit of moral complexity and a reasonable view of what makes a person good, but I guess he's in a bit of a fragile place right now.

I kinda feel like the best possible Dalek episode would be if you took this and Dalek and merged them together.

What was badly directed about it?

Well, perhaps directed as best as they could under the circumstances and under their constraints, but goddamn the set fakery and poor-rear end CGI was showing hard this week.

The interior of the Dalek and the feeling of moving through its space just wasn't there for me. Plus it looked too much like the corridors of a ship rather than the inside gaps of a machine/creature.
