30 Day Sci-Fi Challenge - Day 27

Nastiest Villains -- The Daleks

The Doctor's oldest and meanest villain are the Daleks. They made their first appearance in the 2nd serial of the franchise, and have been a menace ever since.

Some what based on the Nazis, they believe they are the highest and greatest form of life in the universe, and their goal is to wipe out anyone who is not a Dalek. Their famous attack phrase of "Exterminate" haunts all who encounter them and for most it's usually the last thing you hear.

While the Doctor seems to defeat them again and again, they are partly responsible for the destruction of the Time Lords, and countless others. They might look silly(yes that's a plunger), but they are terrifying.

LOVE THESE GUYS!!

Coolest Alien Race -- Time Lords

They come from the planet Galiffrey, Before they were all wiped out(almost all that is) they spent their day watching over the universe making sure that time was protected. They didn't interfere unless it was necessary, well most of them anyway. 

They can see all of time and space, and they use that knowledge to create the coolest space ship ever...THE TARDIS!  

Oh, and according to on specific Time Lord they invented black holes. 

Too bad they're all gone, these guys knew how to party.

Best Non-Human Character - The Doctor

What is there to say about The Doctor? I could go on and on about how much I love him, but I think the best thing to do is just list some quotes that describe him. Cause the writers are much better than me at explaining how awesome/terrifying/glorious/genius/funny/crazy he is.

Yes I know these are all from the new series. I love classic Who, but I love these quotes. If there are some from classic Who that you'd like to share please post them in the comments!

"I am just a mad man with a box" -- 11th Doctor

"I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the Constellation of Kasterborous. I'm 903 years old and I'm the man who is gonna save your lives and all 6 billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?" -- 10th Doctor

"Because I've seen him. He's like fire and ice and rage. He's like the night, and the storm in the heart of the sun. He's ancient and forever... He burns at the center of time and he can see the turn of the universe... And... he's wonderful." -- Tim Latimer

"You make them so afraid. When you began, all those years ago, sailing off to see the universe, did you ever think you’d become this? The man who can turn an army around at the mention of his name? Doctor – the word for healer, and wise man, throughout the universe. We get that word from you, you know. But if you carry on the way you are, what might that word come to mean? To the people of the Gamma Forests, the word "doctor" means "mighty warrior". How far you’ve come. And now they’ve taken a child. The child of your best friends. And they’re going to turn her into a weapon, just to bring you down. And all this, my love...in fear of you." -- River Song

"It's like when you're a kid. The first time they tell you that the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it 'cause everything looks like it's standin' still. I can feel it; the turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinnin' at 1,000 miles an hour and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're fallin' through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go... That's who I am." -- 9th Doctor

30 Day Sci-Fi Challenge -- Day 6

Best Sci-Fi Villain -- The Master

The Master is brilliant, nearly immortal, and completely evil. First introduced along side the Third Doctor, he spent the next 20 years tormenting the Doctor by coming up with scheme after scheme. He always lost, but sometimes with serious cost. His actions have killed the Doctor more than once, and all that time all he wanted was for the Doctor to see him as an equal.

He looks up to the Doctor so much, and desperately wants to be seen as a genius that he's willing to take over, or destroy the universe in order to get that respect. If that sounds insane, that's because it is.

Doctor Who Episode 6x11 Review

Episode Title: The God Complex
Episode Rating: A
Overall Season Rating: A-

Yet another home run for Doctor Who. Last week I talked about how each episode was different, and gave us aspects of Who that we all love. This one keeps that streak going. While it was creepy, I wouldn't say it was scary. Not in the way Night Terrors was anyway. The idea of a hotel filled with rooms of people fears is properly creepy though, and I think it would have been fun to watch this episode in an actual hotel. Try walking the corridors late at night then. Another streak that I noticed however has been broken. For most of Steven Moffat's tenure on Doctor Who we have seen very little death. I'm not a fan of people I like dying in TV shows, but when Russell T. Davies was running things people died all the time. Sometimes a lot of people. Knowing that people could, and probably will die adds real stakes to episodes of the show, and makes us sigh relief when people we genuinely like don't die. Well, this episode fixed that for us.
