Whovians are counting down to the return of Doctor Who! In the second half of the new season the Time Lord and new companion Clara will face an old enemy! The reptilian Ice Warriors from Mars have a new look as you can see in this image courtesy BBC One.
The Time Lord last fought the Ice Warriors in the The Monster of Peladon starring Jon Pertwee as the Doctor and Elizabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith back in 1974.
The Cybermen will return this season in a story by Neil Gaiman (The Doctor’s Wife.) The Silurians came back under Steven Moffat’s watch. I’m still eager to see the return of my favorite aliens from the old days:

As we celebrate the Christmas episode of Doctor Who I was inspired to make a wish list for second half of the season in 2013. The Snowmen will introduce the Doctor’s new companion: Clara Oswin (Jenna-Louise Coleman) and bring some humor back after the heartbreaking end of The Angels Take Manhattan.
The Return of Madame Vastra, Jenny and Strax! Check these off! The Doctor’s allies appear in the holiday episode.
Neil Gaiman Returns! The Sandman creator wrote one of the most emotional episodes of all time. The writer of The Doctor’s Wife is working on script for the upcoming second season starring…
Cybermen! Those sinister cyborgs will return in an episode penned by Gaiman.
Torchwood! Can you imagine Captain Jack Harkness hitting on Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor? I’m curious if there is an organization like Torchwood now. It was fun to meet Kate Stewart in The Power of Three. Kate is following in her father’s (Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart) footsteps with UNIT.
The Doctor faces Brian Williams! Will the Time Lord break the news of Amy and Rory’s fate to Rory’s dad? Moffat would write a heart ripping scene I know Matt Smith and Mark Williams would play the hell out of
Zygons! My favorite aliens of the series! The Tom Baker storyline Terror of the Zygons creeped me out because it involved the Loch Ness Monster but when I saw the Zygons for the first time it gave me childhood nightmares. I thought sure we might see one in The Pandorica Opens. Fingers crossed for the return of those creep suction cup crustacean looking bastards!
Queen Nerfertiti and John Riddell! Riann Steele and Rupert Graves played the Egyptian Queen and big game hunter who joined the Doctor in Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. How about the Doctor, Riddell, Clara and her Majesty united for an adventure in ancient Egypt that brings back Sutekh, another villain from the Tom Baker days in Pyramids of Mars.
Doctor Who in Seattle! Why should New York City and Utah have all the fun? Emerald City Whovians like me would love to have the Doctor come to the home of the Space Needle – maybe it’s a real spaceship waiting to blast off or a Tardis?
That’s my wish list but I trust in Steven Moffat! Happy Holidays to my fellow Whovians around the globe!
