Aliens on Doctor Who you'd like to see again

I think that's pretty much what the show itself has established, that time is more mutable without the Time Lords. It was first made explicit at the start of the Moffat era, when it was established that nobody remembered things like the Cyber King stomping through Victorian London (or whenever that was). Which, of course, was Moffat's way of freeing himself of the bits of RTD baggage he didn't want to deal with. But RTD has embraced the mutable timeline with a vengeance since his return ("mavity," stepping on butterflies, etc.).

I think they pretty much established that was the Crack.
 
Indeed, and since that storyline was resolved, episodes that were said to be erased by the cracks were mentioned as having happened again, most notable The Stolen Earth/Journey's End.
 
I'd pay good money to see that.

DARLING
I AM HOME
HOW WAS THE EXTERMINATION
EXTERMINATE!
EXTERMINATE!

Oh, and this doesn't exactly qualify as being seen "again" (since, AFAIK, it hasn't been done before) but I admit I'm keen to see....

Daleks vs. Borg. :borg:
I AM HOME...I HAVE INVITED DAVROS FOR DINNER!

WHAT? WHY WAS I NOT INFORMER EARLIER ? WE HAVE NOTHING TO PREPARE!

IT IS IMPORTANT TO IMPRESS HIM! I AM UP FOR PROMOTION!

Hilarity ensues.

Wasn’t this Spike Milligans (a bit racits) Dalek sketch from the seventies?
 
There have been plenty Cybermen stories but I would like a good one.

I love the old Hartnell/Troughton cybermen. The last good story was The Doctor Falls.

Please a story get rid of the regenerating abominations from Chibnall.

I think Spike Milligan did that in the 70s ("Put him in the curry!")

Yeah I really hated them ever since Jodie Whittaker doctor who has just been on a decline of just good episodes/story’s
 
As far as the Daleks go, I would like to see a story about the Daleks at home.The Daleks are so convinced they're the greatest, most perfect life forms in the universe, but it seems that being a Dalek must be a dismal, empty existence.

Which is part of what makes them such a great allegory for Nazis and racial supremacists.

The latter can cut up …go line dancing…the NASCAR infield is (after all) well known for the evil smelling, beer swilling, foul-mouthed shirtless drunks…and their husbands. (I stole that).

Boring otherwise.

Dalek superiority is simply assumed at this point …hate for its own sake is worshipped now.

That’s why the Dalek Asylum’s inhabitants weren’t liquidated. Initially, the new paradigm Daleks exterminated older models—but no longer, due to veneration of their divine hatred.

Hate is a valued commodity for them I think—they don’t feed off it though…unlike my Halloween namesake from THE KEEP who fed on negative emotions (“Where do I come from? I am…from you…”)

I envision each Dalek—in its own cubicle—shell open and the Kaled exposed —observing murderers, tyrants throughout all history…distilling enmity as if it were the anti-life equation.

A great secret might be wickedness, more than the Doctor’s actions, are what stay the Daleks tentacles…otherwise they would have been victorious long ago and would have killed everything had there been something like the UFP in existence.

Where Sontarans value strategy, tactics and weapons..DALEKS enjoy seeing pain.

It would give them great pleasure to see iniquity across the cosmos (Now he showed promise!)

The Doctor materializes near their countless cubicles and hears them singing in ecstasy, visions of war crimes passing like ghosts as the Doctor slowly backs into the TARDIS out of disgust as well as fear.

I;d love a return of the "CatKind" from "New Earth" and "Gridlock" Due to the complexity and delicate nature of the makeup (hair fibers individually "punched" into the prosthetic appliance), they'd almost have to be a single episode "guest" appearance, but it would be a (personal) dream come true if one became a traveling companion of the Doctor!

Render created using Poser and various purchased and free assets, the figures heavily morphed from their default forms. No AI involved.
 
As far as the Daleks go, I would like to see a story about the Daleks at home. What do they do when they're not going around exterminating people and yelling about exterminating people? What do they talk about on their off hours? What do they think about? Do they have any kind of social interaction other than issuing and acknowledging orders? How does an entire society of narcissistic, paranoid sociopaths function, to the extent that it can even be considered a society?

That's the thing -- and I'd love to see the Doctor point it out someday. The Daleks are so convinced they're the greatest, most perfect life forms in the universe, but it seems that being a Dalek must be a dismal, empty existence. Which is part of what makes them such a great allegory for Nazis and racial supremacists.

Sorry for the much-later reply: I’ve always pictured the Daleks as being so heavily conditioned and genetically “lobotomized” (and dependent on their casings) that, essentially, they already are “home” anytime you see them — I.e. they don’t really have a home life, and they really are that way pretty much 100% of the time. At most, a Dalek’s home is its casing. All of which is, yes, a ridiculous and thoroughly self-defeating social setup — but they’ve programmed themselves into it, just as they’ve programmed themselves into believing the giant-pepper-pot-shape is the supreme physical form of the universe which Cannot Be Bettered and therefore Will Not Be Changed (much).

(All of which can be countered by Lance Parkin’s non-canonical but excellent fan script for the Jodie Whittaker Doctor, “Retreat of the Daleks”, which includes a throwaway line that Dalek poetry is the supreme poetry of the universe. I‘d love to see a story that explored something like that.)
 
I’d love to see a visit to the Tharil Empire at the height of its time-winds-riding power.

And though they’re not aliens, I wouldn’t mind seeing where Starship UK ended up, if anywhere.

Or for that matter, a story showing that the Daleks and/or Cybermen eventually evolved into something else. I think the old DWM comic actually did this once.
