    Dr Who wishes

    So;

    I finally got to watch the entire Snowmen episode and it put me in mind of a few things I'd like to see on the show:

    -I'm kinda hoping they stop with the romantic subplots; mostly 'cos EVERYONE does that, and it gets kinda old. (I liked how everyone figured the Doctor and Donna were a couple and they weren't. THAT was a nice twist.) It also bothers me (not just for the Doctor) that they perpetually have one after the other. It cheapens the whole thing and makes the Doctor (and other characters) seem like a galactic lothario. Or hormonal space-teen at any rate. Although; if they actually DEALT with that idea I'd be okay with it. Like, maybe being one of the last members of his species has started some sort of biological imperative, or made him face his own temporality and fostered a need to settle down, get married and have a family.... like happens with us humans. I'm not inherently opposed to the romantic drama thing; I just hate the tacked on, shallow nature it assumes in almost every show it's slathered onto.

    -It was fantastic to see the characters from "A Good Man Goes to War" again, and fleshed out a bit. Strax NEEDS to be a companion! Hell; he needs his own series!

    -Since they're okay bringing back stuff from the old show, I'd like to see some of the more obscure, not entirely official stuff brought in. The comic had some good stuff, and I'm hoping for some Abslam Daak. We should start a petition. Daak and Strax should have their own show. ("They're cops. With grenades and a chainsword.")

    I think Donna is one of the few companions that I really enjoyed seeing travel with the Doctor in the new series (she saw him as a friend)...Nearly all the others (save for Mickey and perhaps Jack, although Jack seems to have a thing for the Time Lord too) have wanted to have some sort of romantic relations with the Doctor. I agree, Don..Its getting really old and tired. I just want the Doctor to have a good friend or more to travel with, not lip-locking with every companion every season.

    I still want to see the Martians (Ice Warriors) return.

    Maybe a return of the Dominators (and their quarks)?

    The Zygons?

    The Kraals?

    A return of the Black and White Guardians?

    Its nice to know they will be exploring "this universe's" Cybermen (with a nifty redesign...Although, the Cybermen's chronology is really a huge mess, as far as their physical appearance goes, which is too bad).

    I have doubts about us ever seeing Daak, Perhaps there's some sort of rights issue that keeps the BBC from using him?

    I don't really want to see the Angels again, but I know they'll show up at some point...Sigh. Why introduce a new villain, claim they are almost extinct and very rare...And yet overuse and abuse them in the series?

        RTD said it was the Doctor's mother --- but he never made it official by saying so in the show (good move imo)

          and I'm hoping for some Abslam Daak.
          Abslom Daak would be awesome, but I'm guessing it'll never happen.
          It would be so cool to see him ripping through the new paradigm Daleks with his chainsword.
          Heck, even a cameo someplace would be great!

          I'd like to see more classic enemies and monsters brought back for a story more often.
          Sure it's great to see new creatures and foes, but there's 50 years of established DW canon to draw from...

          And a new multi-Doctor story is long overdue.
          McGann, Eccleston, Tennant and Smith in an epic time-spanning anniversary episode, facing a dire threat of sufficient magnitude.
          PUNY HUMANS!

            I think the return of the Black and White Guardians is my biggest wish (not counting a multi-Doctor story)

              I agree with ctc - STOP the romantic sub-plots. 26 years and 7 Doctors for the classic series and never a hint of a companion get hot for the Doctor.

              I'd also like to see the return of Time Lords, just DON'T over use them. Make them rare.

              NO ANGELS!

              Make the Master ( if he returns ) an evil villian like in the clissic series and not a misunderstood, mentally ill person.

              Multi Doctor story, McGann deserves to make another appearance as the Doctor.

                I would too; just to see what they've been up to. The Ice Warriors are a no-brainer here. I'd like more Zygons (bio-cyborg ginat monsters? Hell yes!) Nimon, Daemons....

                  If Ice Warrior's returned should they be good ?

                  I think they were good on their last appearance (one of the Peladons)

                    I'm rather fed up with the "pretty young girl" companions. To me, it evens cheapens the idea of the companion: "one pretty face leaves, another takes her place". And they all can't wait to kiss the Doctor.
                    I liked the relationship between Rose and the Doctor. Back then, it was the exception, and that made it special.

                    Why not let the Sontaran come along and give him a "chameleon circuit" that masks his appearance?

                    I have no idea why the Ice Warriors have never returned. Every fan loves them, no producer uses them.

                    I'd love to see Bernard Cribbins do some more episodes. He had a good chemistry with the Doctor. Give pensioners a chance at seeing the stars!

                        Depends on which time you bring them back, and which faction. During the confederacy they're good guys, during Earth's earliest space colonies they're bad guys. And even when they're on our side, there are still pockets of Ice Warriors who seek domination.

                        I guess they were SUPPOSED to come back during the McCoy era, but the show was cancelled before they could.

                            I'd like to see Tom Baker back for an episode as an alternate universe old Doctor.

                            And, perhaps oddly, I'd like to see Vogons.

                            In the Christmas episode I was so happy to finally see a companion from another era. And then, at the end, a twist. A boring twist. Surprise! Same old same old.

                              Ditto. Although, after having watched it recently, could it have been The Doctor's mother....?
