Was checking this out:

Life Outside The TARDIS: David Tennant (Part 1) | Anglophenia | BBC America

Shows David Tennant's other acting roles. I can't believe I didn't recognize him in that Harry Potter cameo...

9/1/12 Asylum of the Daleks!

Am I the only one who's a little tired of the Daleks? Bring on some other villains!

They really have exhausted the Daleks, I really don't know why they went so overboard with them.

I mean, they were a cult favorite for people I think, and then when they introduced the Time Wars element, since they were the opponents to the Time Lords in the war, I guess it only made sense to feature them more. At this point though, I don't really feel like they're worthy adversaries of the Doctor anymore.

They've been a cult favourite since 1963 when they first appeared.

Well, yeah, but I was saying that they seem to be the predominant villain in the new series, probably because of the whole Time War deal.

I guess we'll see. I recognize your complaint, but it is what it is and I'll still enjoy it I reckon.

I think they should've used a different Alien race for this and kept the Daleks in reserve for something else, they'll always be the biggest Dr.Who enemies.

I feel like the Daleks should have been put on the back burner for a while after the second series finale. Not to mention the silliness inherent in "completely annihilating" a race so many times even though that's clearly not the case.

I'm hoping to get BBC America added to my cable plan before the beginning of next month so I can watch the premiere. I didn't spend a month playing catch-up after being newly introduced to the show last spring for nothing!

Your name sounds like an alien race in Dr.Who.
