    Moral of the story: don’t have entertaining villains or writers will keep thinking of ways to bring them back.

      Speaking of bringing villains back, I’d like a word with whomever is in charge of beating the dead horse that is the Dalek lol

        I get it, they’re a fun villain. And the fact that they can time travel makes it pretty much inevitable they’ll keep coming back, no matter how much the Doctor thinks they’re gone.

          I couldn’t disagree more. Their voices are one of the most grating things I’ve ever heard (and not in a scary way, in a stressful and angering way), they look far too ridiculous and they’re far too overpowered.

          The Cybermen, on the other hand, always make for great episodes. As do the Weeping Angels!

            Their shrill voices are part of why I love them, as well as their eggbeater and plunger aesthetic.

            I like those other two villains as well, although the Weeping Angels in particular have been used even more ridiculously than the Daleks.
