A new Master would be welcome too, but I think the show needs to keep moving on and coming up with great new recurring enemies like the Silents (the creatures, not the religious order), maybe bringing back a handful of the better RTD-era monsters like the Krillitanes and Pyroviles. Above all, I'd like to see some of the monsters/enemies from TW and SJA make it into DW - the Trickster, the Captain and the Shopkeeper from SJA and maybe Captain John, Mary's species and the Weevils from TW.<br /><br />I really, REALLY hope that the new companion is someone a little less... white. Smith, Gillan and Darvill are the three palest people on the planet and so the show just LOOKS so much less inclusive than it was a few years ago. It seems to me that people of other skin-tones only get to be disposable supporting characters or cannon fodder these days. Nasreen was great, but there's been no hint that we'll see more of her, and I really want the other half of that story, to see how she and Tony coped when they and the Silurians woke up after a thousand years hibernation. I was really excited about Rita, but she goes and gets killed by the Minotaur (oops, spoilers etc). Mels was AWESOME but we no sooner get to know and like her than she's regenerated into Alex Kingston. How about giving us someone of South Asian (Indian/Pakistani) or East Asian (Chinese/Korean/Japanese etc) heritage? It's pretty sad that the only non-White companions so far have been Martha, Mickey and Chang Lee.liminalDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06621859737411962756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1685612307519389935.post-63068959404037451182012-01-02T13:08:29.859+00:002012-01-02T13:08:29.859+00:00Zygons and Ice Warriors would be good, and the ret...Zygons and Ice Warriors would be good, and the return of the Master would be much appreciated!John Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04912350527692784851noreply@blogger.com
