We’re a little behind on our Doctor Who viewing – but we just got the chance to watch episodes 4 and5 which is really just one story (we got them both on Amazon -> The Time Of Angels
At first this seemed like a dumb idea – the most dangerous entity in the universe is a stone statue?
But as we watched the two part episode – the whole concept really grew on us. Stone angels are everywhere — and when you look at them nothing happens, look away and hey…
This is a unique kind of concept and once that Matt Smith as Doctor Who made very real, believable and incredibly entertaining. The stone statues ‘wheeping angels’ is a basic enough idea, but one that was well executed, we’ll likely never look at a Stone Angel the same again.
And what’s the deal with Doctor Sung? Is she the Doctor’s wife? Does she kill the Doctor in the future/past?
Daleks the Scariest Doctor Who villian? April 20, 2007

Apparently so.
In a survey of 21,000 fans conducted by the BBC, the Daleks were voted the scariest Doctor Who villain.
EXTERMINATE. EXTERMINATE.
Now sure Davros is one ugly looking dude, but the Daleks, though sinister aren’t really scary are they? Not to say i’d like to face one down in an dark alley but still.
Maybe i’d fight ’em in a stare case.
They now have some kind of hovering ability, but they don’t climb stairs all that well and don’t do well over rough terrain either. Personally i’d be more worried about the CyberMen.
AND ACTUALLY…i’d say that in my view THE MASTER was the most sinister of all Doctor Who villains.
OOHh..right the Cybermen did fight the Daleks too didn’t they..and here for your viewing pleasure…Cybermen vs. Daleks..
According to the BBC poll.. top ten are:
TOP 10 DOCTOR WHO VILLAINS
1. The Daleks
2. The Empty Child Zombies
3. The Beast
4. The Cybermen
5. The Clockwork Droids
6. The Ood
7. The Empress of Racnoss
8. The Werewolf
9. The Autons/Nestenes
10. Chloe’s Dad
Is Doctor Who the most popular SciFi show today? April 4, 2007

Though Doctor Who gets short shaft in North America, if recent numbers are accurate –
Doctor Who isn’t just popular, it could well be THE MOST POPULAR SCIFI SHOW on Earth currently airing.
BBC is reporting that 8.2 million viewers watched the season three (or 30 ) premiere.It marked the premiere of a new assistant for the Doctor with the debut of Freema Agyeman.
At 8.2 million viewers Doctor Who is likely more popular than any recent episode of BSG or Stargate SG-1 or even Stargate Atlantis.
Apparently SciFi channel will be picking up the new season later this year but why should American wait? Why can’t the US get Doctor Who at the same time (or maybe a one day delay so BBC has bragging rights?).
Real die-hards are unlikely to wait till later this year and will find other means/methods to get the episodes they want to see. The BBC and SciFi would be well served to provide the content that viewers want quickly or risk missing out.
