Nothing else even compares to (the angels were a little bit scary but the devil guy???he wasnt) i was 7 when i watched the empty child and i genuinly had nightmares formabout a year. I am now 13 and a while back there was a repeat- i watched for about a minute then the gasmask kid arrived and i had to change the channel. I can barely even look at a picture of him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-9666085202207288572008-11-04T11:01:00.000-04:002008-11-04T11:01:00.000-04:00Yes, Australia saved us all the best parts of the ...Yes, Australia saved us all the best parts of the lost episodes.<BR/><BR/>Gunshots.

That neutral not-a-smile-not-a-frown slit was much more disturbing than the frowny-scowly shape of latter-day helmet designs. The look was kept up until when they introduced those frowning mouths that moved during the Davison, which I'm sure seemed like a step up at the time, but looks like a mistake now.<BR/>I had high hopes for the new costumes, but the narrowed-at-the-front shape of the head makes the mouth slit look too "frowny."<BR/>Also, a more creepily neutral, synthetic-without-being-a-dated-vocoder voice would be better than what they went with.<BR/>(Note: I really like New Who, none of this is a condemnation.)Jack Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347116217773724467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-58574136976189299272008-10-29T10:35:00.000-03:002008-10-29T10:35:00.000-03:00Actually, you're quoting from The Underwater Menac...Actually, you're quoting from The Underwater Menace.<BR/><BR/>Davros, like the Master, I put in with the villains, but again, the line a thin one.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-2220478511515292652008-10-29T10:11:00.000-03:002008-10-29T10:11:00.000-03:00you reference Fury of the Deep so I must say it......you reference Fury of the Deep so I must say it...<BR/><BR/><BR/>Noshing en ze vorld can schtop me now!!!"<BR/><BR/>also...no davros from Genisis.
