I liked Aaronovitch's novelisation of "Remembrance..." for its glimpse at Dalek politics - namely the loathing felt toward the Special Weapons Dalek because of its individuality.

You are right, that movie could have easily been a Star Trek episode since it had many of the elements that are classic to Star Trek stories. But we are here to talk about Doctor Who, right?
