Too Often or Too Little

In a recent ScreemRant article, Dan Peeke gives his opinion of five characters used too often, and five characters used too little. Some fans may agree with his opinion, but other fans will not. To be honest, some of the ones he mentions are not ones this fan wants to see more. Of course, every fan’s opinion is different.

Too Often

There is some relevance in saying the Cybermen and Daleks appear too often. Outside of Jon Pertwee, every Doctor faces the Cybermen. Then when considering the Daleks, every Doctor has at least one story with them in it. Does this mean fans see them too much? Well, every fan may have a different answer to that question. Some fans love both enemies and want one episode every season or series. These enemies are an integral part of Doctor Who. Therefore, it isn’t right if fans don’t see them in a series or season. Would Doctor survived without having stories about the Cybermen and Daleks? Who knows, but they could be overused.

Another character he says fans see too much are the Sontarans. Yeah, these guys are not very exciting and with the weakness of the vent on their neck. Please, so easy to kill. Then they are a clone race. Yeah, some will say we see them too often. Of course, other fans don’t feel the same way about the Sontarans either.

The Abzorbalooff is the fourth. This one could have stayed on the paper. This one doesn’t make a fan say yeah I love this one. They are only present in Love and Monsters. Fans don’t see the Doctor, so that takes away from the story. But the way he destroys his enemies lacks excitement. How exciting is absorbing your enemies?

The last of the five is the Slitheen. They are cool to some degree because they can replicate humans. But their weakness kills the coolness. They can’t get near vinegar, and they are gassy. Some fans may find the gassiness funny, but it takes away from the character.

Too Little

Thinking about this monster, anyone can see this to be true. The Judoon are walking rhinos. How cool is that? Initially, their looks cause fear as well it should. Who isn’t afraid of a rhino? Then when they speak, the language is just as cool. It may be the coolest in the history of Doctor Who. So, let’s see more of the Judoon.
Many fans agree with this character being underused. There are not many stories with the Face of Boe. Fans will love the return of the Face of Boe. He is a great character. With only appearing in just a few storied leaves allot to be desired. He could return even though he died. The reason for this is Captain Jack was called the Face of Boe as a child. There is a question to ask. Will Cris Chibnall choose to bring the Face of Boe back? Who knows, if he sees it benefiting Doctor Who, he may.
This character is not at the top of some fans list as returning, but some fans may enjoy her return. Cassandra is one who needs to grow on you. She says she is the last human. The first thing fans remember about her is the rack she is on.
The Hath are the fourth. These guys may be good monsters, but only seeing them once doesn’t give fans a good picture. They do fight a bigger enemy and are a peaceful race. It may be worth seeing them again.
The last one appears only in the Sarah Jane Adventures. If Whovians watch the spinoff, they know about this character. Otherwise, they are in the dark. Like this writer is. It is called the Trickster  So, there is not much for me to say about this one.

Conclusion

Yes, there are some characters fans want to see more often, as well as, those they would rather see less often. Fans do wish to be able to help in the production of Doctor Who, which is out of the question. Hopefully, the production team will bring us what we desire. The likelihood of that is zero to none, but the statement could be wrong.
