Question of the Week

Question of the Week: Which Doctor Who villain should be retired?

/

We’re sure to get more of the classic villains in the final episodes of this season of Doctor Who.  Some of these have been with us since the beginning (or close enough) and haven’t had the same scary effect on audiences in the new incarnation of DW.  But should the makers of DW retire some of these classic villains? Or are some of the newer villains worse? That’s what we want to know.  If you were going to retire one a Doctor Who villain, who/what would it be and why? The comments are yours!

I’m bringing back the “Question of the Week” feature with a vengeance.  And to start it off, I’m asking you all a rather large question: Who do you think are the five greatest science fiction writers of all time? I’m putting a lot of emphasis on you think.  Whatever your criteria for inclusion, the most important thing is that your list is your list. So — who would you include?
