    "The End of Time" has that notable scene where the Doctor hints at the eldritch abominations called into existence - deliberately or otherwise - as a result of the Time War. Creatures so horrible even H. P. Lovecraft would go mad thinking up tongue-twisting adjectives to describe them: The Skaro Degradations, the Horde of Travesties, the Nightmare Child, The Could-Have-Been King and his army of Meanwhiles and Never Weres.

    What other terrors might have come into being as a result of screwing with the timestream? How might the Daleks regard the Doctor's weapons, as Davros describes them: companions like the Short-Skirted Ditz and Terrible Screamer, the Everlasting Hedonist or Shag-a-lot Man. Perhaps previous incarnations of the Doctor were involved: The Neverending Scarf and the Eyesore Coat of Many Colors, The Cliffhanger King with his Army of What-The-F**ks and Holy S**ts!

    Let's think up weapons of the Time War!

    The celery of doom!!

    I'm pretty sure the Sixth Doctor's outfit is banned under the Shadow Proclamation. Some weapons are just too horrible...

    I always thought that was stupid scene. RTD just threw out a bunch of nonsense words.

    It would be interetsing to see a storyline about an old Time War weapon/entity that escapes from the pocket and starts doing it's mass-destruction thing somewhere. "The Nightmare Child" sounds the most promising of the lot, but the Horde of Travesties could be decent and the Skaro Degradations could be an unusual Dalek/Davros story.

    Personally, I thought it was just the idiosyncratic naming convention of a "sufficiently advanced" civilization, not unlike the names given to spacecraft in Ian Banks's Culture.

    I just thought they were far scarier weapons than I could imagine.
