[QUOTE="sabrinathecat, post: 6115273, member: 89838"] Watched Victory of the Daleks last night because of insomnia. Still the beginning of the horror of series 5. The number of bombastic Doctor saving the world, and it's Amy who does all the heavy lifting. Just like she did in the story before (the last [B][U][I]Good [/I][/U][/B]Episode I've seen) The Doctor was mostly just a plaything. Seems to be the pattern now. Everyone can twist and manipulate him. Seems silly. But then, most of VoD seems very silly and childish. As for a 50th villain: the Daleks are just over-used and don't have the gravitas anymore. And too obvious a choice. Likely, but it would be a let-down. Dare we hope for Omega? Without the Time Lords to help, can the Doctor face him a 3rd time and survive? Different Cybermen? No, Cybers don't have enough to them either. The Black Guardian? That could be good, though Valentine Dyle would be hard to replace or live up to. The Valyard? That could have some interesting possibilities. Susan or Romana, back after escaping from the time war, but twisted? Iris Wildthyme? Odd, but could be a good comedy episode. Maybe for a Christmas special instead. The Rani? Dinosaur Embryos and whatever weapons she developed during the Time War--perhaps even a shield to mask her existence? How about: the previous Doctors as villains. They manifest somehow and are there to give 11 a good stern lecture to get him back into shape. Would be a great way to fix some of the dafter aspects of the current show. Gennie: She's been running a-muck, been twisted by the evil she has encountered, and her Dad has to set her back onto task. K-9 has been corrupted by cybermen and unleashed a virus into the Earth's computers. Combined with Mr Smith, all of Earth's time is threatened. And the first thing that happens when they meet, is K-9 destroys the Sonic Screwdriver. But in truth, there can be only one fit villain for the 50th: cave-men. EDIT: Hurdell was great as Hartnell. JNT gave him the job after seeing him in an episode of Blake's7 a couple weeks earlier. [/QUOTE]
