For me, the Rani and the Celestial Toymaker. Even though I didn't see the Celestial Toymaker, as I've noted before, he sounds like an interesting character.

Sontarans. No, not The Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky "RAAAAAH, SONTAR-HA!" Sontarans, or even Strax Sontarans (though more Strax is a good thing), but the Robert Holmes Sontarans.

They whisper, they hiss, they brainwash people, and, most of all, they're geniuses.


Yes please! I want Sontarans vs Rutans vs Daleks vs Cybermen fighting for the dominance of the universe.

Like we noted, he's a good writer when he can write his own domestic science fiction- and that's what Torchwood is.

Oh, please. I've seen 5 different Sy-Fy shows exactly like Torchwood. And they didn't have an annoying manslut for a main character.


Just watch Children Of Earth. It will blow your mind.

The Fenric, the Deamons, BOSS, the Osirians, Genghis Khan, the Vasta Nerada.

Things I never thought I'd hear said on Doctor Who #971:

Dalek: "Doctor, Doctor, we only wish to be friends."

^ That comes moments after the Daleks express concern that the Doctor and Molly might get a cold from the cave they're hiding in and offer to bring them food so that they don't go hungry.

Yep. You're doing the same, are you?

Now the Daleks are growing flowers and playing with children. What the hell is wrong with the universe?

From the bits of dialogue I've read from The Evil of the Daleks, the Doctor has a pleasant chat with some Daleks.

They tease him.

We've never heard a Dalek give a good evil laugh, at least not in a surviving episode. (Sec doesn't really count, he didn't have the armor on.)

That's the one thing Asylum was lacking - a Dalek cackling.

You could probably put the laughs from Dark Eyes in it pretty well.

It's gonna' be a while until I get to Dark Eyes.

I want to watch Eight's audios in chronological, or at least release, order to track his development better.

I mean, Five, Six, Seven - I know how they end. Big Finish just retroactively gives them depth. Eight, on the other hand, who the hell knows?
