    I have a choice which I find to be fantastic. recently I have been rereading my classic DWM comics in digital format, and have come across a villain enemy that is just worthy of Doctor Who, something so fantastically amazing, that if the Moff, decided to utilise this character, it would be a great enemy to present in the series..

    Doctor Who Magazine Issues 104-107

    The Galactic Federation faces a threat from the skeletoids, humanoid cyborgs from the planet Vespin who have all but destroyed the Daleks and Cybermen, and are now poised to invade the Draconian Empire.

    The Skeletoids are operated by the skeletoids' control center and these giant brains which operate it. A fantastic enemy for a Capaldi Doctor..

    Who is your pick?

    The Rutans, ever since the new series I've wanted to see what the Sontaran/Rutan war would look like with modern day visual effects.

    I'd love to see The Draconians and The Rutans. Also, I'd like to see a Regenerated Rani get redeeming story/portrayal

    Friendly Aliens, I'd love to see Ambassador Centauri again, and your suggestion of Frobisher in the other thread was fantastic. I only know him from The Holy Terror Audiodrama, but, I fell in love with the character, from the first sentence, just from his accent (though the actual writing of the character was fantastic as well). And a Romana Guest stint, too

    The Trickster from SarahJane could be pretty great, too. Though, maybe we've also seen Moffet's spin on him with The Great Intelligence

    Not monsters, but the Draconians for sure.

    Along with the Rutans and Draconians, I would love to see the Tharils again. Maybe even work in a Romana return (I've been saying she's hiding in E-Space for ages now).

    Alpha Centauri Ambassador and the Gravis, perhaps even in the same episode.

    ^ I had hoped somehow House was Omega, still hiding outside the universe.

    Maybe Strax is keeping a Rutan he found as a pet, which leads into a greater story.

    The Rutans are among my top picks as well. The only concern I have is that they were one of many that used shapeshifting as a budget-saving measure. Unfortunately, since the Zygons did the same, it'll seem redundant as of just now.

    I got the impression from the original series that for one thing not all Rutans or Zygons could change their shape and in the case of the Zygons they needed a machine to keep a body print. In any event it's hard to imagine the war between the Sontarans and Rutans, even the spinoff Shakedown didn't give us much a view of the war.

    The Tardis goes out of control and lands on an unknown planet.

    The Doctor and a scientist become friends. A war breaks out and we see friction between the two. The doctor has to leave the scientist, whose name we never learn, until we see him injured in a blast, when Davros is rescued...

    Since we're talking about Who EU monsters as well, how about the Chelonians, one of the main villains of the New Adventures (Well at least the ones written by Gareth Roberts)?

    Reportedly they were going to actually show up in Planet Of The Dead, and were name-checked in Pandorica Opens.

    Well my first pick would certainly be The Valeyard. Wouldn't mind Rani turning up too in a new incarnation but not as cheesy as she was in the classic series. Omega would be great played by Cumberbatch.

    As for characters who have already appeared in the new series that I want a return from, The Master certainly needs to be on there, it's been about four years since we last saw him. Zygons making a new appearance would be nice, maybe a sensible depiction of the Sontarans this time instead of the dribble we got from the detective trio.

    Ouch! Forgotten already? You were just down ther
    I kept hoping that Omega would turn out to be the one behind all of that stuff with the Silence. He would have the necessary knowledge for how to blow up the TARDIS and has a well documented grudge against the material universe. Oh well...

    I dunno. I read "The Highest Science" and didn't really care for it. The kind of came across as Sontarans if the Sontarans laid eggs.

    What about the Ogrons? No one has mentioned the Ogrons yet. I just love how profoundly stupid they are.

    Sil might be fun.

    I vote for a return of the Rani, ideally played by Claudia Black.

    And I think it's shocking just how rarely the Draconians ever appeared on the classic series. They seemed very well developed in "Frontier in Space" and they looked fantastic!

    Ooh, The Ogrons, yea cool, they could be updated excellently (And we've already seen them in the last few years posting in TNZ ;) )

    Claudia Black as The Rani...Hmmm...I think I'd really like to see how that turned out. I could imagine a cross between Aeryn Sun and Vala would make a most awesome Rani :bolian: I also think Vala's Daughter Inara, played by Morena Baccaran could do The Rani justice (I loved her protrayal of Anna in NuV Series [one of the only awesome things NuV had going for it :( ])

    I've already spoken up for the Draconians. I love (And treat as Canon) Mind War unofficial Spinoff(s) because it's more Draconian Footage. Draconians are definitely on the top of my List.

    The Master, yes, but, I don't want to see the same goofy portrayal it became (Though after a couple rewatches, there was quite a bit of Simms' Scenes that weren't Goofy, there were just a few scenes that tarnished his whole portrayal in memory on that first rewatch). So, if Simm (and/or Moffat) wanted to try Simm again, making sure to avoid Goofy, I'd be up for his return, but, I'd also definitely be into a recast more in the James Bond Suave, but, evil and devious while being Car Salesman Slick, kinda way Delgado did it. If we could go old enough, I've also always had a fantasy of Alan Rickman playing The Master, so, now's the time to do it, if I can still have my dream :alienblush:

    Omega, yea, could be cool (Probably make a lot of Internet Heads explode if it was only a one off episode, and not the Season Long Arc, that's been predicted just about every NuWho Season/Series so far :guffaw:)

    I just have to jump in on this.. I would say while I like the Idea of the rani being Claudia Black, there is one who I think if they did do her again in the series and they made it a seasonal arc..they should cast the best of the best for the Rani and give the master a run for his money... Emma Thompson or Tilda Swinton.

    For the Master.. Tom Hiddleston-Loki of Thor movies.. or if Older, I say Ian Holm

    but a reincarnated Omega, has to top the james Bond Rassilon, so why not the Emperor himself.. Ian McDiarmid
