 We should start a subreddit to organize our ideas.

Tennant and.. who?
An actor who played a Roman man in The Fires of Pompeii later stars as a regular in Doctor Who.


Oh man, I've been rewatching season 4 of the revival. It is probably the season I've seen the least. It has a Sontaran two parter? That has to be the most obscure episodes of the entire new series. Anybody want to debate that? What is the most obscure (undiscussed, least watched) revival ep?

Probably the most obscure old monster in the revival was the Macra in Gridlock. A mutated (and no longer sentient) version of an old monster from Patrick Troughton's first season (1967) that is COMPLETELY missing and hasn't been seen again since it first aired.

That said, The Great Intelligence coming out of nowhere in The Snowmen has to be up there too, especially since it returns in The Bells of St John and The Name of the Doctor. Another Patrick Troughton villain from his second season, featuring in two stories, one of which is largely missing and the other that was only mostly recovered and made available to view again about a year ago.
Holy crap I did not pick up that Macra reference at all. Also, I enjoyed the continuation of the GI. It was nice to have a villain that wasn't Darleks or Cybermen AND the Doctor actually feared. Bravo!
