hmmmmm, i think you guys are right, now that i think about it; we have been seeing too much of the Daleks. there have been way to many appearances. from what i know of the old series, they didnt appear much at all. i think there were less than 10 stories featuring them i can only think of maybe 7 stories off the top of my head, and those were spread over a 20 year period. there have been way more than that in the new series.
we need a break, or something different. besides, we have several other factions that would make great villains; not least the other combatants in the Great Time War, such as the Depravations of Skaro or the Nightmare Child.
about the angels, i dont know. they might make a good villain, but it depends how they are portrayed.
incidentally, looking at the
official trailer on the BBC website, there are several more interesting things:
+ the dalek shown looks like an old style one. its grey. and then there is view of something that could be another Dalek, its white, with a gold eyestalk. so they could be new ones, or one of those old factions. they did have a civil war at one point, and i remember watching an episode where Imperial daleks fought a rebel, older style faction. Hell, these could be the Depravations of Skaro. we still have no idea what those are.
+ the angles look like they are on a ship, or some sort of facility. and there are soldiers fighting them. so this would be a different fight altogether. whats more, it looks like there is very little light there in the first place to see them with, so stopping them could be hard.
+ the vampires look like they are in a past episode. probably Venice.
+ the Reptiles look like they are warlike. at least one o them has a gun. however, there seems to be at least one civilian in there, who seems to run away.
+ Amy looks to be a police officer from a few scenes.
+ the Doctor himself looks to be much more violent in this one. seems to be willing to use a gun. and resort to using his fists.
im pretty sure that this isnt the only time that there has been a menace following silently in the shadows. i'm pretty sure that Fenric did so in the old series, and there was the ring of time, and i think i remember hearing that the master did so for a series as well. sure, there were fewer of them, but they were still there. of course, since i have never seen anything but single story lines of the old series, i cant actually tell you what they were about, except from reading about them.
that Star whale sounds good.
entire nation in space. now that does sound interesting. but does that mean the island has been turned into a spaceship, or that the British isles has been transplanted into space.
hmmmm, the beast returning. that would be interesting. multiple companions might also be nice. more people and points of view to follow. but then, might it get overly complicated.
