QUESTION for my worldly Doctor Who fans: what's the name of the museum from The Big Bang and where is it?
I was going to do Roman numerals but then I realized I have basically nothing else to say, so I will just cut straight to the 30-day meme. I bet you're all pumped.
Day 13 - Your Favourite Villain
The Master
Okay to be fair, it's not like there's any competition, because it's not like any of the other villains are even remotely dynamic or, um, anything. I mean, Davros? Cybermen for the millionth time? Who cares.
But the Master is still great, mostly because his entire mission in life seems to be "piss off the Doctor". The only way his grand scheme in Last of the Time Lords makes ANY sense to me is if we assume he just did it all for the lulz, which honestly seems like a believable motive with his characterisation so why not. I have only really seen John Simm in the role, unless you count Eric Roberts (and frankly, who does?), but he worked well as a foil for Ten and was generally entertaining to watch, which is the most I can ask of a villain. For some reason the fact that his plans were always completely cracked out and illogical just endeared him to me, as did the fact that he has the weirdest idea of captivity ever and totally hired someone to make a tiny pinstriped suit for Dobby. I sort of think his role in RTD's Who simultaneously encompassed everything that was good and bad about RTD's writing, giving us some of the weirdest plots ever alongside some really good, interesting character work. ...And a lot of gay subtext.
Day 14 - The Villain Who Scared You the Most
The Weeping Angels
Honestly, I don't scare easily at all, so there aren't really any on this show that terrified me. But part of the reason I decided to check out more episodes after watching "Blink" was because the Weeping Angels were creepy enough to intrigue me. However, I think that bringing them back in s5 and retconning just about everything about them in the process ultimately took away from their scare factor.
Runners-up would be the thing from Midnight and the Vashta Nerada, whom I liked in theory but not so much in practice. (Shadows are scary. Lumbering plastic skeletons in space suits are not.)
