Family of Blood is one of the scariest Doctor Who stories. But not because of the family, because of the way the Doctor becomes truly terrifying as he sentences the family to their eternal punishments. The mix of icy fury and cold deadness in David's eyes is creepy. If you make someone like the Doctor your enemy and he starts running away from you, it isn't because he's afraid of you. He's sparing you. He knows what he's capable of doing to you, but the Family of Blood insisted on finding out the hard way.

I'm honestly surprised my favorite Doctor Who monster didn't make the list - the Time Reapers. They're one of the few beings that have outright killed the Doctor, but I can see the argument that they're not _directly_ hostile to the Doctor, they're just "cleaning" the wound in time that was caused by the paradox of Peter Tyler surviving his scheduled death. The Doctor being there and being killed is completely incidental.

I think Rassilon/The Time Lords as a whole deserve a spot here. Their corruption was what originally led the Doctor to leave his home planet, and they are a beautiful binary opposition to the Doctor. While the Doctor longs for travel, adventure, and influence, the Time Lords care much more for staying in their own bubble, and merely watching over the verse instead of merging with it. The Time Lords were trying to play Gods and were not, whereas the Doctor was trying not to play God while being one. Plus, Rassilon is the reason the Doctor pulled out a gun.

Given their recent resurgence, the Celestial Toymaker is certainly one for the books. I'm pretty sure every cosmic based hero should have a 5th dimensional enemy who just wants to mess with the hero for shits and giggles; Mr Mxycptlyk, Gaunter O'Dimm, Arbiters of Reality, Deadites. And I'm still waiting on the other mad Time Lord to return, Omega. I don't know if him coming back post Time War means he will be less antagonistic or if he will be pissed the time lords were saved from the brink of destruction when it was closer than he ever achieved. Maybe he can come back for a finale, one last blow against a weakened Gallifrey.

I can't wrap my brain around calling the Ood "villains". Yes, they've done bad stuff at times but, as you point out yourselves, they were pushed and manipulated into all of it, and when left to their own devices they're quite benign. Calling them villains is like calling people evil for changing their behavior after a lobotomy or doing what they have to do to rescue their entire civilization from a horrific invasive regime. At the other end of the spectrum, obviously entities like Davros/the Daleks, the Cybermen, the Master, and many others are more iconic, some have done far more obvious evil in the long run, and a few do creep me out a lot (I'm [literally!] looking at you, Weeping Angels), but the one evil that gives me the deepest creeps to this day is the Silence. Even seeing tally marks can make me shudder. The idea that you can't remember the evil and therefore can never even know it exists... that's truly horrifying.

Everyone can say whatever they want about the Daleks, the Cybermen, the Master. (Roger Delgado and Anthony Ainley were great! And I adore John Simm!) I like the Weeping Angels! And it will be interesting to see the Celestial Toymaker return. I would like to see the return of the Meddling Monk (from the 1960s) and the Rani (from the 1980s). I can’t call the Ood villains because generally speaking they’re really quite friendly and helpful. They do, however, can be easily manipulated. Scaroth, the Family of Blood, the Great Intelligence, the Beast and Sutekh were great one-off villains. The Sontarans and Silurians can be enemies, but there have been exceptions (think: the Pater Noster Gang). The Flood: even the Ice Warriors of Mars wanted nothing to do with them! And there are the Raston Warrior Robots- said to be among the deadliest in the universe.

@josephwest124 6 ай бұрын

I think part of the loss of viewers for Who is more due to the insane decision to put it on streaming services (at least for the US). I double-checked and the last "Who" I saw was the "Legend of the Sea Devils" special (it seemed like it aired on BBC America but I honestly don't recall). I don't even remember seeing or hearing any promotion for "The Power of the Daleks" (beyond the post-"Legend" closing credits about "Doctor Who will return . . .") and I had no clue when it was supposed to air--the only thing I remember was, at the time, there was talk about the whole series would be moved to a streaming service but not which one or when. Even now, supposedly (according to Wiki), the first of the "Fourteenth Doctor" specials is supposed to be airing today (Nov 25, 2023) but I can't find anything "Doctor Who" related on my "On Demand" service or on my cable series search menu. And it's not showing up on the Max streaming service as of yet (the latest showing for "Doctor Who" are the 2022 specials with Jodie Whittaker).
